Well in fairness, there's always a chance - albeit slim.

The bottom line is the pendulum is swinging. Check out this article from 'Aviation Week' (the American FlightGlobal)

Asia-Pacific Offers Much Opportunity For Expatriate Pilots | Commercial Aviation content from Aviation Week

To give you a flavor:

"Supply and demand in Asia translates to premium pay and opportunities for expatriate pilots: An Airbus A319 or A320 captain willing to move to China for Beijing Capital Airlines right now can earn starting pay of $290,000 a year, including various allowances, safety and retention bonuses. The same pilot could “commute” to work at Beijing Capital—one month on, one month off—and make $193,000 a year."

What grabbed my attention is not the money - but the six months work. IMO KAL is not enough time off.

Show us the $ in May.
