Touring positions, pay a lot more than CHC (CHC still pay in CAD$ and hence their pilots lose more than 10% with exchange rate to US$).
6 week rotation I believe. Malaysian / Thai tax should be paid. 139 ratings required though. You'd need to do Air Law and Human Factors exams for Thailand. Work permit and licence based on your present licence. Renewed each year.
They have some great guys working there (know a few of them) from various previous places.
Heard good and bad things but more good. They are teamed with Local operator in Thailand and operate out of Songhkla in the South.
