List your Top 5 Airlines for Expats!

Title says it all..... From Pay to QOL, what are the top "5" airlines you feel are best for Expat's? Though I'm years from being there, I am curious.

Regards

Yes! Very true! These two airlines (Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific) have the most expats!

Sorry to dispute your numbers, but from where I sit, SQ is way lower on expat numbers compared to CX and EK...might want to have another count! Cheers

if you look it for a moment from the money side of it
i gotta say that the INDIAN airlines are on the top of the list
some could say JetAirways, other's Kingfisher
as of now there are 496 expats skippers in India
and growing, every month
also, the fleet "avg" age in the airline i fly its less than 3 years!
a good incentive, plus good housing, and many working options
for the one's who like commuting
on the downside, its the facilities & infrastructure
theyre OLD..............................really OLD
ready to explode

What do you define as an "expat" job?

Ryanair's got to be the biggest "expat" airline in the world if you look at how many drivers work there vs how many are actually Irish citizens. Same with Easyjet, probably half the UK based pilots consist of dutch, scandi's, other europeans, kiwis, aussies.

Well, a european in europe is not really an expat. I am german, working in Italy, but I dont see myself as an expat.

Bavarian or austrian in germany, yes thats an expat

I have to agree, I can't even imagine the numbers over on my side of the globe from Canada working in the US or visa versa. I almost think we mean "excontinent".
