$180K is closer to the mark for most A380 SOs.

Possible life boat options with only SO time in the logbook:

Cathay? I know the latest pay scale would make it tough living in HKG...but it would be a job...

Qatar? Doha is not the best place for families but again...it would be a job...

Jetstar? Are they taking any more QF guys on the bottom of their list? Obviously a massive pay cut, and you'll work harder than a one-armed coat hangar doing 4 sector days...but it is a recognised command endorsement and you'd start to accrue some Pilot Flying time. Its also a job in Australia...which is very valuable in itself to a lot of people...
