Asia is where its at regarding cost.Particulalry the cost of labour.
Except that every airline in Asia except Cathay pays for the ENTIRE cost of training all its pilots. Start doing the numbers on that and get back to us about how cheap Asian Pilot Labour is. Asian Airlines have flying schools littered all over Australia which are run at a cost to the airline. Yet QF/Jetstar get free pilots and they think that Australian costs are high. These Asian airilnes have guys doing training with 150 hours in Biz Jets.... What do they cost an hour to run?? $2000+ per flight hour??? gimme a break.
