well i heard most airlines in Southeast Asia are freezing the recruitment to cut cost..
i guess it's just a way for the airlines to take cover from the soaring fuel costs..
but like u said, dont rush
as im only 17, and just finished my high school..im planning to go to the Malaysian Flying Academy, and perhaps join QR cuz i strongly think it's easier to get a job with this airline, and plus it's less competitive, compared to airlines in Malaysia..thanx 4 da advice!
