Even Garuda is back to hiring expat FO's, China Eastern and Air China will be hiring expat FO's next year, every airline in China seams to be hiring expat captains. Personally, I don't see how Asia and the ME region will fill their seats in the next few years. The age 65 thing has given many a western airline a reprieve, but that'll end within the next couple years as well. So, yea, it looks rosy, but low time western FO's with no type rating. . . perhaps not.
