That's too bad! The good news is..... TONS of A320 work abroad - some even offer rotations back to the US, and pay is definitely better than in the US.

Any brothers and sisters out there with 320 type and time. Malaysian airlines is hiring as we speak, 12000$ a month.. great benefits and time off. Fly Dubai also is hiring current qual 320 drivers with the same pay and benefits plus great housing. Hope that helps anyone is looking currently.

Good luck to all.

Korean Air is hiring non-type rated A330 captains provided you have something like 2000 hours of A320 PIC time. Air Asia has hired at least one Frontier FO as a captain, even though he didn't have any PIC in the Airbus. Theree are jobs in China that pay $17,000 a month in the A320.

Just an option, but probably not feasible for most people.

Good luck to you all.

It was unfathomable for me to even consider going abroad until my airline went under. Funny how perspectives change...

The hardest thing about flying overseas is first getting on that airline flight abroad. The second hardest thing, especially if you've been abroad for a while, is getting on that airline flight back home to start with a US airline. You'll look at that starting pay and be offended.

Always a great experience jumpseating with them, sorry to hear the news.

Best of luck to all those affected. Keep your chins up and STAY CURRENT.

Dont let the magic 6 month clock tick by...

Yes! Very important!!! If you're gonna go overseas, YOU MUST BE CURRENT!!!

Most require you to have had the sim done at least within the last 12 months, preferably within the 6 months, and having flown the airplane within the last 3-6 months.

Can you "quote" the WHOLE letter?!!! :rolleyes:

Sorry to hear. My company is hiring give me a PM and I will try to help. We flew right along side you guys at several places.

As a victim of the downsizing and shutdown of U3K, thanks for all of the kind words. I spent 2+ years there and loved it. Great crews, fun flying, lots of time off, and way too much food.

I was fortunate enough to land on my feet at Virgin. Most of the U3K guys I still keep in touch with have gone to or are looking at going to Asia. There are a bunch of us here at Virgin, and I know many have gone to Spirit as well.

I had a bad feeling about Harfst when he showed up on property and immediately starting taking vacations (he is quite the skier I hear...). Most of us got the feeling pretty quickly that he was hired to shut the company down.
