Either way, not tons better than my crappy regional schedule. The only upside is that I read somewhere about 5-6 weeks of vacation. Also, keep in mind these pay rates are for a 787... Not a narrow body airbus or 73. Also, lots of forums with European pilots decrying how bad the work rules are at nai. I can only imagine it's like flying for a typical us regional, but in a 787.

Right now Bangkok is the only base.

I honestly think almost all pilots would be better at a major, lcc, or even as a senior RJ captain...
