@The Dominican…thanks for the reply. I actually stopped by CREW a few months ago and talked to Frank -- very nice guy. At the time I was interested in a 767 FO job they had advertised for ANA. He basically said the same thing (no commercial experience = no chance), although at the time I thought he was just talking about the market in Japan. Didn’t realize this applied throughout most of Asia. I never expected to be considered for PIC, but I thought I would be marketable as an FO, especially with the anticipated growth in the region and all the talk about companies being unable to hire enough pilots to fill their jets.
I have no problem getting a type and then working my way up, although I’d like to be confident that the type rating I pursue will get me headed in the right direction. Don’t want to sitting around with a new type and no job. I’ll take your advice and discuss with some of the contract companies and go from there. Thanks!
