Haeco are looking for people via various agencies including rishworth in New Zealand, www.rishworth.co.nz (http://www.rishworth.co.nz) and Ace/Serco were looking for people in various locations. However most of Ace's projects are pie in the sky, they've contacted me regarding 767/747-400 work in Brunei and A340 Line work in Singapore but nothing comes of anything for whatever reason.
Pay in Haeco is US$5200 per month and you have to find your own accomodation, which is about US$3500 per month!!

Rishworth called me late one night in March. Asked a lot of questions, promised they would get back to me and didn't.

Spent many years in south east asia, you get a good standard of living and get to see a different part of the world.
As far as I know all the work is contract based now. HAECO screwed a lot of their own people and many have left over the past 2 years.....current deal sounds like a lot but cost of living there is very steep.
Singapore take guys in line and base, the contract companies are MILCOM in Singapore and StarTech services in KL. MAS are looking for engineers but are in a bit of a mess. Over the past few years they have driven a lot of staff away too, which is a pity as it is a good place to live and cheap compared to other parts of asia.

Blacksheep - DC10/757/320 A&C ta for the info.

Skydrolsniffer - yeah I lived out there for a few years too. S'why I fancy going back.
from what I've heard the HAECO deal is $5000pay + $3000 accomadation, still not enough for HK tho' methinks.

Wenwe,
You're right about the Haeco deal being not quite enough for HK. I was permanent there but left last year.The permenant money was good but not brilliant. The contract money is even less. If you've got kids that are in school be advised that international schools out there are expensive. The permanent guys get a schooling subsidy. Contractors don't.

Wenwe,

I work for Milcom in Singapore, we are looking for mainly A&C, SQ line and base. Some EIR, but not as many as they tend to be overloaded with locals in this area. We were also plying our trade for Haeco too, but as previously stated, they are screwed up and can not even decide what they want or when?

I heard the package for Hx was US8000 all in, to be fair you can get a flat out near the airport for a lot less these days as the rents have come down quite a bit in HKG, around US1500 a month will get you a place..shoebox...depends what your circumstances are

If you need any more info, drop me an email.
