FYI, I get calls every day from 4-5 guys with airline time and no Gulfstream time who just bought a 550 or 650 type. Two have zero contracts since Oct-Dec, and the others have maybe one contract where they needed a third pilot.....
Your friends are the ones who hire you, who are your friends?
If you are in Dubai, why not go to China, if you're in China, try Dubai. Everyone is hiring 737 and 320 guys! You could get a left seat job today...
