Pls look at Jet Airways & Indigo In India & Chinese airlines ADs for the 737 & 320 Captains. They are all paying high salaries plus signing bonuses & contract completion bonuses.... The compensation for that catagory is about 25%to 40% more when you compare anywhere in US or Europe because of the terms....
The website called latestpilotjobs dot com, lists all these jobs for free...
These jobs are of course not for everone, not for people who are comfortably employed with a decent seniority & definitely not for those who can't bear to live in that part of the world.
But those who are in the 55+ yrs age bracket & have very few years left for flying & have been forced to leave their lifelong carrer due to their airline go belly up or due to BK & have seen their retirement funds & pensions vaporise...
Those are the guys who can suck it up for a few years & put a decent chunk of money into their retirement savings by flying for a few years in India & China & Middle east....
Like I said, It is the shortage of Well Qualified Experienced Captains.....
