CPL, IR = Asia ???

[YanYan]

Hi Everyone,
This year I hope to complete my CPL + IR and a multi rating in the USA.
At some point next year I want to give up my Engineering position in the UK and follow my dream.
Does anyone have any experience of flying in Asia ?
Due to my lack of a university degree, (although I have good college engineering qualifications)I realise I would need a miracle to land a seat within a European Airline, Hence my plan of attack revolves around landing a position flying cargo in South East Asia for a few years and then upgrading to an ATPL.(I can speak Chinese if that will be of any help)
Has anyone any thoughts on this career path ?

Yan-yan,

I suggest you read the Flight Int'l
mag.

Good luck Yan,
