I wouldn't recommend that move in your case...., but of course everyone has different reasons as to why they make their choices in life....., this being a cyclical career we just don't know what's behind the bend. Back in the day when I got my first "Welcome to your last job in aviation" letter (No emails back then) I certainly didn't expect to be working in Japan 30 years later but that's the dinamic of timing in this business.

Right now it looks like the upswing of the industry will last for a while so the best thing would be to stick it out and get a seniority number with any company...., apply everywhere! Don't just wait for the flow!

We tend to paint all jobs abroad with a very wide brush. This is not a bad gig really and it works for some people, but career wise for somebody who is 30...., definitely the best long term option would be to get with a major.
