This is a good dilemma to have. Here is my 2 cents. With the G650 coming out, the operators I know that are going to get them are going to be looking for G550 experienced pilots sbove all else as it will be a very easy transition. Gulfstream was trying to get it under the same type at one time as it is amost similar enough. Just something to think about.

To the person that asked the BD-700 type covers all the global express aircraft that are made. The vision cockpit however does require a differences course.
There is a ton of contract work available on the Global right now, my company is paying 1500 a day for contractors.
The issue that you will have is that with zero time on the aircraft you might find some work, but it will be at the below average operators, and for 1000 a day or less.

And I am curious as to why you think a few legs to Hong Kong makes a difference?
I have never flown to Hong Kong and consider myself very experienced on the Global.
