A320 TR

Hi All, would any airline in Asia hire me if I did a selfsponsored A320 type? My issue is I am female, living in Hongkong, flying a businessjet but my contract ends soon and because of my gender its hard to find a new job in time. I am getting tired of this instability and thought an airline job will solve this. I am well experienced with over 4300 hrs. Thank you. No discussion about pay to fly please.

With that sort of time you could easily find a non type rated gig in Asia.

I was under the impression that females were either equally, if not more likely to land flying jobs than males. Might be just my area though. Is Asia a little more backwards in that regard?

Good luck nonetheless.

Why not apply to Dragon and/ or / via Cathay? You are in Hkg and hold the appropriate resident visa, don't you? Self sponsored endorsements always end up with issues, like below standard training( I have had to deal with it). If an airline thinks you are worth the punt they will pay, bond , whatever. I know of a low cost who paid for a female with a couple of hundred hours in lighties and no currency to move to the 320. No way that would have happened if she wasn't a female, let me tell you.

Forget SQ , unless you are Singaporean.
The Middle East is a good bet. You will be a captain in 5 odd years if they keep expanding but, a life far removed from HKG.
