Flying here is great fun...you'll be well respected, pilot camaraderie is exceptional, and right now the demand for Pilots is at an all-time high. From what i've been hearing..1000 hour pilots with CPL/ IR's and no attitude problems are quickly snagged by PAL for Airbus s/o positions. 2000 hour guys are grabbed by Cebu Pacific/ Air Phil for DC-9/737-200 fo seats.

Just don't expect salaries to support a hedonistic lifestyle though. As Medwin said, $900 monthly for caravan captains doesn't sound so appetizing . Jet jockeys aren't too far ahead of that figure either..so unless you have a successful business on the side, that Subaru Impreza WRX or Mitsu Lancer EVO 9 is really just a dream..
