Ha - I went door knocking as far as PNG
in 98 during a recession
and it worked out just fine - I got a job up there in 07.
Aviators are like any other addicts - broke and looking for the next fix!!!!
Don't give up & in the mean-time put that tail-dragger rating to use and go do a little towing at your local gliding club, maybe even a bit of meat-bombing to keep a hand in.
A search on this forum will give you an Indonesian based C-208 operator that will look at guys with your time as co-jo's.
good luck
