I worked in Fiji for just over three years, left seven months ago. At the time both Air Fiji and Sun Air(Pacific) had a "Hire Locals only policy" like most island nations. So you may find it difficult getting a foot in the door to begin with. It all depends if you are experienced or not! if not then you will find it difficult, unless you have some ties with Fiji.
I logged 8-900 hours a year, progression varies between companies,and again Locals will be promoted before you, also the money is not too crash hot.
Overall if you think of the experience you can gain Vs the financial sacrifice, its all worth it in the end.
I have 2600TT of which 2400 is Multi.

Give it a try, you have nothing to loose... good luck.
