Thanks for the info. I live across the border and it would be a convenient place to work. I've been flying in Asia for over 20 years and I've noticed that most places are not into the long term planning aspect of running an airline. When they have too many pilots, they terminate. When they are short, they scramble. Thailand is in need of 737 drivers now at two different airlines. The big problem here is not only is the pay fairly low, the tax is very high. Close to 50% when all is said done... I just finished a year and a half at Cebu Pacific and enjoyed the people and the flying. Most of the FO's have zero experience so having to fly an A320 solo during all weather conditions, increased my ability considerably.
