Does anyone know how female expat pilots would be viewed in either India or the Far East? Should one even bother trying to apply. Thanks.

India has the highest number of female pilots in asia and are treated just like a male pilot.

Approx 30+ female pilots in Cathay Pacific Airways (CX) from approx 2100 pilots and about 15 are female expats.

I m good friends with the female skipper you are on about.
No I don t work there anymore, I left and joined a UK airline.
I was the only western woman out there before the Australian lady turned up.

Since she left I m not sure if there are any female expats in Air Asia anymore, someone else might be able to answer that.

But they do recruit expat females.
