Thanks guys- great info there!
Safelife- I'd love a China contract....but my previous airline won't sign-off on the China paperwork (me thinks they've lost too many pilots to China, so they've decided to make it bloody difficult to get anything signed by anyone). Believe me, I've tried. So gotta go somewhere else for a couple of years.
Bae- Thanks for your feedback, mate. Like I said, I was a bit taken aback when this senior person said that about Indo carriers, but as I haven't had a lot to do with Asia I just wasn't sure. Will take a closer look at Vietnam as well. Every contract obviously has it's pros and cons....
Cheers guys.
