How low would you go?
If you were given the opportunity to be fully sponsored by a third world airline in return for a 5 year working bond, poor wages, living in the third world and flying the older jets to not many destinations, would you do it?

If there was nothing else available: YES.
Lived in 3rd World countries all my life; far more exciting than the UK.
5 year bond for full sponsorship ain't unreasonable in my eyes.
Older jets? Any jets thanks!!

If there was ZERO other options where I was trying then definitely YES I would take the job. Goes without saying. If anyone here wants to be a pilot more than anything in life then that's the only thing you'd choose to do, unless you're rich enough to buy your hours or type rating to go elsewhere. For me, I had already scraped the bottom of the barrel after my flight training costs. I am still young so had time to leave the third world for a better job. You mentioned it was third world on Jets! Well, that's jet experience at least. And you may even be able to leave before the 5 year bond, depends how things work out and what it'll cost to break the bond. For me, there's nothing I'd rather do for a livign than fly. I would have done that in the third world on Prop aircraft flying cargo if I had to for a start!
Fortunately for me, I got lucky right here at home with an airline, but who knows where would I have been if I didn't.....

Go for it mate and all the best nothing wrong with living in a 3rd world country.
When you will fly with this airline make sure to keep yourself in a very good standard in order to correct any defficiency in your crew.
All the best and good luck.
