320,

There are pilots from all ethnic backgrounds working in the US and European major carriers, including many of asian descent.

You seem to be missing the point that people are trying to make. Your eligibility to work for these carriers matters not one iota what your ethnic heritage is but depends on your rights of citizenship/residency etc.

The MALAYSIAN immigration department may well be able to offer a work permit to an alien wishing to work within Malaysia. However, I doubt they are able to grant you permission to live and work within US/AUS/Europe within 7 days. You will need to consult the immigration department of those countries you intend to work in for full details.

Also, bear in mind that if you wish to fly in these countries you will also need to hold a licence acceptable to their aviation authorities. This may entail a costly conversion from (I assume) your Malaysian licence.

Good luck.
