Twotigers first of all I am not a newbie I am 737 rated and experienced, I was laid of from my first job which I got through networking and "showing up" as you put it, I have noticed there are allot more airbus jobs than Boeing at the moment hence why I am looking for an airline that are hiring non rated airbus pilots, I agree that showing up and speaking to people is a good idea but to travel all the way to Hong Kong without even knowing if they are hiring non rated bus pilots is a bit ridiculous, I am simply looking for a telephone number or an inside e-mail address so I can find out exactly what their current recruitment requirement etc
