Pilot Employment in Far East
Hi, I'm looking for help here. I am a low-hour fATPL pilot (also FAA CPL & IR) and I'm desperate to get a pilots job over in either Malaysia/Singapore.
Does anyone know, if its possible, what are the requirements, who to contact at airlines etc.
I was considering a TR if it would help. Any suggestions welcome

Moderate, Modest & Mild.
It might surprise you to know that there are also many low-houred Asian pilots also looking for work in the region, Mr Blue Eyes.
Generally speaking, when Asian airlines recruit foreign pilots, they take quite experienced people (a couple of thousand hours, preferably some of that being jet time).
And that is for Second and First Officer positions.
Competition is fierce here, and I suspect you'll pick up a job much more easily in the U.K. (and Europe), than you will here, if you are low time.
Out of interest, why are you "desperate" to work in the Singapore/Malaysia region?

Thanks for your comments.
Both me & fiance wanted to leave UK, she has now been offered a job to either work in Singapore or KL. Its a place where we both like & have many friends over there. I flew with AirAsia a few times and they did impress me. Any further ideas would be welcome.
Who needs the cold UK!

I think you'd have a much better chance of a job in the Singapore/Malaysia region if you had a JAA, Australian, New Zealand, Malaysian or Canadian CPL/IR or frozen ATPL. The FAA license is not well regarded or accepted in Singapore for a commercial flying job unless the aircraft is US registered or you have thousands of hours of heavy command time and I believe its much the same for Malaysia.

you have to join a very long line of unemployed local pilots. That MFA (Malaysian flying Academy) is chewing by the dozens.....
if you have any license other then Malaysian then.....good luck to you......

I thought you could get a validation with FAA licence, Certainly in Malaysia you will eventually have to sit the CA6's as the Validation doesnt last for ever.
But do correct me if I'm wrong but I think thats right,
