Have just been over to MFA.
Nope, not Langkawi, it's in Malacca..
They want 500 hours instructing min..
If I remember correctly, the pay wasn't too bad, starting from about $2000 Ringgit a month. An indication, you eat where the locals eat, you can get breakfast for $1 RM. Rent is about $800-$1000 a month for a apartment.
Workplace environment was pretty good, top notch buildings and grounds. Aircraft looked pretty good, Seneca IIIs and Piper Warrior IIs.
I know of 2 NZ instructors working there presently
Most students are Malaysian Airlines cadets, with some privately funded.
I'm not sure about progression onto twins. I only had a brief meeting with the GM of the place...
Conditions aren't too bad up there, but mind you, I'm half Malaysian, so felt just like home
Just the humidity takes some getting used to...
