Does 121 stuff apply to international carriers as well? What part of ICAO regs do I need to get smart on?
I recommend going to a job fair (even for Pilots) and meet company reps, and hand them your resume even if non-flying position is requested. ICAO regs may or may not be important to a carrier who may hire you. Also, subscribe to Aviation Week and Air Transport World and get spooled up on issues facing the industry.
Service providers off the top of my head would be Boeing, GE Capital (finance the jets), even the banks themselves. As far as Asian carriers, don't have any advice on that. If I was an MBA looking for a job with an Asian carrier, I would probably go to the closest airport where that carrier(s) serves (LAX?) and physically tackle the station chief and ask him for HR emails, POCs, etc etc.
