To the one who said DCAM doesn't approve foreign conversions - they don't have to. DCAM issues validation as long as the airline justifies the hiring of said pilot. Conversion is only required if you need to do training here, eg for a type rating.
To the one who said Malaysian operators don't hire foreign FO due to DCAM regs - crap. MAS has had foreign FO for the last 8+ years and more recently had nearly 40 guys. AirAsia has some crazy number of expat FO so get your facts straight. MASwings even has a few on ATR and currently are pretty desperate for Twotter crew. The gist of the regs is that Malaysian AOC holders must justify the employment of every foreigner before validation is signed off.
To any expat considering MAS currently for employment - forget it. If you've not been following the news lately they're on the back-side of the profitability curve and just sacked all their foreign pilots. A limited number of foreign cabin crew also let go and MASengineering is in the process of extensive culling of expat engineers - both casual and contract. Sad times all round.
MASwings is looking for rated guys. AirAsia and AirAsiaX are always on the prowl if you are 'Bus rated.
