A couple of places in China are beginning to accept applications again although I haven't heard of any actual hiring yet.
No wide body flying for the foreseeable future and the 737 and 320 contracts are expected to be way below in terms of T&C's than before.

The rest of Asia is in the tank, I don't think we will see any hiring of foreign pilots for at the very least another year or two.

The economy mess the pandemic will leave behind will be much worse than the pandemic itself.

I really though that at least in Japan, the resilience shown during other pandemics or economic fallout was going to show in this case as well, but for the first time in the 13 years I was there I've seen both ANA & JAL actually bunker down and scale back, when before they would forge ahead and even invest during downturns.

From October forward will be painful for many of us! Best of luck to everyone...
