With the regions largest economy in unprecedented collapse it is inevitable that there will be a large surplus of pilots and very few job opportunities for several years. The Chinese and Indian governments may well prefer to grow their own pilots over the option of hiring you as an ex-pat. Western economies have stopped growing, shrunk and may not again grow much. There is a limit to what can be consumed as the planets resources are finite and a massive new population of consumers has to be accommodated.

Your license and ratings expire without use. A wise man would gain them at a time when he is likely to find use for them quickly. That time is absolutely not now and hasn't been for a good 18 months.
