Turboprop jobs in SE Asia
G'day folks, I'm a Dash-8 Captain in NZ, wanting to check out work possibilities on turboprops in SE Asia. Preferably month-on, month-off type of thing. Is there any? What type of aircraft are used up there? What's the money like? Who should I contact?
Would welcome all advice, suggestions and info from anyone in the know.
Cheers.

Sadly most operators out in S.E. Asia operate the ATR72s, including Firefly in M'sia and Vietnam Air.
There are also a couple of B1900 and Kingair operators but those are the small fish.

A new start-up in China will be ordering 30 Q400s to start in 2015. You don't see too many turbo-prop operators in China so I guess they'll have a shortage of captains for this operation. Chinese airlines would be the type who would offer expat captains month-on, month-off type of deal.
Not many Dash8 operators in Asia. Travira Air in Indonesia has a few; Wings Air used to have 3 but they have been replaced by ATR72s.
