To address the Middle East suggestion, it is something I've considered, but I'm just not keen on the idea of living in the Middle East. I've talked to people who've done it, and those who've been over there, and it just doesn't seem to me like a very pleasant place to live. On the other hand, I've been to China and Hong Kong several times, and I feel like I could be much more comfortable there, hence my interest in Dragon Air. I haven't made any decisions about anything yet, I'm just trying to research the various options. As for the post about Hong Kong Airlines, I do not have a 320/330 type, so I'm not sure if they want non type rated guys.
