I know quite a few satisfied expats working at carriers which Brookfield provides crews for Chinese, and European Carriers with a Mid-East Regional Carrier. They were hired during the boom years of 2005 and 2006. They interviewed in the US. However today, as the interviews are on the airlines’ property, you are on your own nickel if invited for an assessment. If offered a contract, again, you will be on your own nickel for your work permit, medical, accommodations, certificates, food, and transportation. From what I understand the pay from Brookfield is accurate, and on time. There is an ample supply of unemployed 737 crews available in the EU, which is why pilots from our side of the pond are not sought after. Pretty much like any contracting agency, which is tantamount to a match maker, your communications concerning rostering, and basing will be with the airline you are assigned to.

Contracting agencies such as PARC, DIRECT PERSONNEL , RISHWORTH, etal… cater more to the expat contractors when it comes to expenses including but not limited to housing, per-diem, medical and life insurance, travel to and from home once or twice a year, which the exception of KAL. However the majority of contracts available in these days are in Asia and Africa these days.

However, read the contract before signing.
