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.

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.

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.

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.
