Look east...
Many people say look abroad or East for pilot jobs. Sure for experienced type rated crew there are opportunities. Some may not appeal due to location or cultural differences. However does anyone know if anyone with low hours has succeeded? Agencies wouldn't be interested yet many peeps would easily be able to consider a position abroad. Those type rated with 1000's hours maybe less inclined to move due to family commitments back home.

Shenzen Airlines is hiring
Just 20 nm from Hong Kong, Shenzen Airlines is presently hiring through several agencies. $140k net, plus bonuses for captains. 34 days of paid leave.
I believe Aloft Aero Staff and Contractair are just a few.
Cheers,
Steve

Emirates is hiring
Things have changed condition wise here, but emirates is pretty desperate for pilots in seems. Anyone with 2,000 hours above 55 ton and 4,000 has a pretty decent shot at an interview in the next few months as there was no hiring for a while. If someone needs a job its worth a go.

Emirates may need pilots, but they won't just take anyone. The assessment is quite hard, with a high fail-rate.
Even qatari fail people during the writtens - and they should be happy about anybody who wants to come.
There are jobs around, but they're also hard to get, especially if you're still inexperienced.

Fair enough but Emirates aren't any harder to get into than any other respectable airline (have a couple friends who work there). Most respectable airlines these days have pretty tough selection proceedures (ever tried BA's when they were recruiting?) and so these aren't reserved purely for Emirates.
From what I've read about the moral in Emirates amongst its employees and the general disrespect for westerners in the sand pit I personally wouldn't wish to work for them or live in Dubai. But that's my own choice and opinion I guess.
Good that things seem to be picking up though

lights out
Not sure about the age limit, its not very restrictive.
The interview is a 4 day process right now. Its basically alot of physic stuff, crm games and something they call a compass test. Of course the sim. The great thing is that you cannot really study for it. On the sim they are looking mostly for crm.
Morale is down here, we are working harder than before and managment has not been great to us. But if you need work and want to come now would be the time.
