a320_richie - There is no such thing as "big" money in those areas anymore unless you have plenty of total time and 1000 + PIC jet.... Almost all of the contracts in the Middle east, Asia/Far east are based on US $...at the moment this means that you would be better of working for a company paying in £s or Euros....If you have 320 time, go to the UK and you will make some ok money and look at upgrade within 5 years...or less....
Good luck!
