Just looked at this job opening. Now it is really going to far. You must have flown the 737 as a capt to apply for an FO position....

Isn't this a bit redicolous?

not really, it probably means you need a PIC rating.
You have to remember these recruiters are writing these adverts in a second language.
I know of expat pilots who have gone to China as F/O and got Captain
positions, based on Command time on a Turbo prop. I fly in Corporate based in Asia, in the the space of 6 months, the chinese have realized you can't find type rated guys, so now its "experience in a similar type", times are changing in China....and one good thing is they are realizing you have to pay more money!!!

You seem to be forgetting that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of type rated pilots who are actually experienced.
A thousand hours is but a small drop in a very very large pond of experience.
You might just have to swallow your pride and go and fly something that isn't new, shiney, may have propellers and even pistons!

Who would go to China to downgrade?
Personally I find it ludicrous if the adverts required conditions are correct but, hey, some muppet will take it!

B737 jobs
Same problem. have been stuck in front of my PC for 3 months looking for work as a B737 F/O looking all around the world except europe since I have a FAA ATP. 3500 hrs, 2500 on B737 200 and 300, 30 years flying experience and nothing.
Supposed to be more 73s flying arond than any other aircraft so where are the jobs ?
Agencies hundreds of them and it all seems a mess, they are all advertising and readvertising each others jobs and never seem to delete the posts which are o longer available.

Ive seen Miami Air advertise for F.O.'s a few times this year..I could think of worse places to be, thats assuming you have a US Green Card or Citizenship.
Roll on Silk Airs Boeing 737 NG order...2014 I believe...
Precision Air offered me an interview but I declined due to the cost of getting there...They pay one night at a hotel though so nearly makes it worth while...

Canaryislander, you can try Aloha Air Cargo:

If I had an FAA licence and US green card, I would have moved there for the rest of my life

I have a funny question for those who got in touch with Africa and career path over there:
Could a B737 First Officer with 4000 hours on type be considered for a captain upgrade fast track?
How does it work in Precision Air?

The problem is there are no FO jobs really.... There are a lot of options for captains, but fos are easy to pick up from the street in every country, pay them peanuts or even nothing.... There are a bit more options for Airbus rated guys but also not great for FO...

Just had an "offer" 
from Aviation CV.
Capt's in Kenya, Capt/FO on 732 in Bagdad etc & Capt & FO in Afghanistan on 733.
For FO they pay €3500 after tax (Yeah right
sure you want to pay tax in Lithuania ) & say you can expect 100hr/mth & to stay in very safe hotel in Diplomatic zone.
They ask 1000tt & 500 737.
Truly cr@p, & with this lot I have doubts their "offers" actually exist.
Well an email costs nothing.
