Why not put in your application to Spectrum, they will give you an outline of pay and conditions, cost you nothing to apply. if you don't like what you see. say thank you and move on AirAsia might need expats. especially the captains and FOs are leaving for better salary. many have gone to HK airlines/express, middle east etc. (they seen light and smell the money) full service alirlines.

yes.. you be surprise, never a shortage of guys that will show up. the salary being offered is a lot of money in malaysia, besides it cheaper living cost. you cant offer more salary than the locals. you cant upset the boat. just offer commuting contracts. show up and or stay at home.. the choice is yours.

Those "commuting contracts" are laughable.

It's more than money (which is already low), it's working conditions. When reading these terms it's not appealing and basically one will find themselves in the cockpit more than they will see any meaningful time off.
The cost of living in Malaysia is low and its more suited to a westerner with family than China or Vietnam. The work is hard with 6 sector days and 25 minute turnarounds. The 21/10 option would be commutable and there are lots of nice places nearby to spend time off, even Europe could be considered as airfares out of KL are quite cheap.
It could be an option for someone wanting a change or a short contract before retiring.

I tell you the 20/10 option with confirmed tickets home on there Network for 13K US gives you more money after taking the living costs in to account then earning a Captains salary at HKA/HKE.
Also there is no comparison between the people of Malaysia and China/HK.
South East Asian people are very friendly, polite and normal. Nowhere near as unfriendly as the Honkers folks !!!!
You welcome to convince me otherwise !!!!

A friend joined and he is enjoying it, takes about 3-4 months to obtain your license and do your Line check. Reportedly, there were some admin problems for those that went via Spectrum but idk the details.
The last batch of Capts are doing GS now (all 28 days of it.....). That's 100 expats that joined in the last 6 months (including a bunch of Iranians needing work given sanctions back home. Good for them).
No more recruitment for now.

Guys, just a warning, do not go spectrum. A friend of mine used them and said they were the most useless bunch off amatuers his ever worked with. He was going for the A320 Capt DEC in KL He passed but AA never gave him the job and waited 4 months for an answer after screening for an answer...Without us pilots there is no contract companies, dont go for the crappy ones like this.
