Some of us want to work overseas solely for the thrill of experiencing it. Furthermore I reckon that it bears to be stressed that the projected massive hiring at the legacy carriers has not begun in full and may not come to pass ever if another economic downturn, natural disaster or terrorist attack goes down. Getting some heavy time over in China or the Middle East may help make one's CV competitive. I am at the regionals building time for a legacy, but if Emirates, Etihad or Qatar gave me a job today, I would be gone tomorrow.
