The Far East is currently showing signs of a pilot shortage, especially in China and India, so paying for line training isn't something I have seen advetised in the Far East, but it is something that is happening in Europe. I believe Astraeus, Wizz Air associated with Bond / Storm aviation run self sponsored type rating schemes in which you can buy 100 hours of line training on top the type rating. However US based Eagle Jet also run similar schemes; whereby you pay for line experience on top the type rating. It is possible (though this is an assumption) that some of these companies may be placing people on these schemes with Far Eastern based airlines.
