Yes, agree with the advice about lat moves and will be cautious in any move.
The position I have now is the perfect Prt 91 job avail. As a Capt., I do very well here and have almost 10yrs seniority. Attentive to what I would be giving up and will weigh all scales before making any move.
So (and I pose this to everyone looking in) what are the thoughts as far as Cathay, Emirates, JAL, etc.? Are the opportunities avail and accepted for American pilots?
Its been recommended to me that I look into this avenue. The pay being well and X%, tax free, etc. There are many pros and con's, but what is available in today's market?
I cover the cont. daily here, only Intl. experience I acquire is Canada and Mexico.
No complaints, just tired of looking at all the whales and wishing I was there.
Holding out for UPS, yet willing to seek all options avail.
Rather nieve when it comes to all of this, as I've been a prt. 91 driver my entire career, so please excuse my lack of intl. carrier knowledge.
Acquired a 73 type a few years ago, was nice to have my hands on a Boeing yoke, even if it was a sim.!
