Be a little bit wary of that Air Asia deal:
I got sight of the T & C's fairly recently, I might have the figures wrong but as I recall one signs for 1,000 hours for $10,000 and after a certain number of hours one receives a pittance of a salary.
Quite a good deal by the sound of it, many will be thinking that they won't stay for 1,000 hours, they will 'P' Off after a few hundred hours upon the offer of a 'proper' job.
But what I read was that one deposits $10,000 with Air Asia, no mention of what it is a deposit for, and then month by month one also pays to Air Asia the $$$ for the hours they flew during the previous month.
That $10,000 deposit has to be to a security that one will stay for the full 1,000 hours and if one 'escapes' after 100, 200, 300, 400 or 500 hours etc. then one may expect to forfeit one's $10,000 deposit thus, please, build this in to your costings of such a venture.
