Dr Ecam,
Asia is a wonderful place to work....Asian are nice people and captains are pleasant if you know how to show respect to them ( if you are not a big mouth , and can stay at your place). Its the same everywhere in the world...If you follow the rules you will have no pb. Just keep quite and do your job properly . In Europe its exactely the same . I personnaly saw some european captains treating badly some FOs with no good reasons...So its not an asian particularity. Its even better in Asia because if you are respectful, they will respect you...which is not always true in western countries. Life is much better in Asia: cheaper, more beautiful ladies, less delinquence. Btw, i have no experience of American companies , looks like an heaven there!...
