Depends what you are looking for? Utility i.e. longline or offshore (VFR ops) but IF rating required (ATPL an asset).

Most offshore gigs ask for at least an IF even though it is mainly a VFR operation. The utility gigs are of short term nature…the ones in South East Asia mainly depend on the goodwill of the ministries of environment. They issue permissions to cut down trees, etc… If the permit is delayed, then you will sit on your bum scratching buggers, until that moment where the operator loses interest, money, and finally withdraws from it.

Just my two cents worth of input.
