LionAir
Was listening to the grapevine and heard that LionAir (Indonesia) is possibly looking for FOs... but can't find any way to get in touch with them or any hiring minimums... anyone got the scoop?

Well at least theres another source that confirms what I'd heard.
But I looked through their website quite thoroughly and I can ask a question of file a complaint on the rather generic contact portion, however not much of a link to someone that would be in the flight department through that website itself.

There are a couple of alternative methods of apply rather than directly (not too many people I know have ever successfully lodged an application via the website or direct contact). Tell me what your experience is and what position (FO/CA/ab initio) you were looking at and I might be able to point you in the right direction. Keep in mind that PPJN isn't an official source of information, and even if it says something, even up-to-date, this doesn't necessarily equal reality.

Yangtze River Express is also looking for B737 EFIS pilots. Bringing six up from HKA shortly, but apparently require more. I spoke with one of their check training guy's the other day and he confirmed. Not sure as to T&C, but I do love being based out of Shanghai.

$800 is pretty weak, but given that you can potentially get a "free" type out of it, and time on type quickly puts you a few steps ahead of others who want to end up doing ex-Pat/Contract flying. Also it would depend on where they base you, I got a few friends in Jakarta whos total monthly expenses are less than 500 bucks including rent.

Pretty weak? How about pretty disgusting.
Normally I don't like to get down on people who buy rating's to get ahead, but normally they are coming off of turbo props and even with the type rating they end up being ahead at the end of the first year. Pacific Blue and Jetconnect would be two good examples down around my neck of the woods. But that kind of money is worse than Air Asia man.
It's no longer whoring yourself out. . . it's crack-whoring yourself out.
Please, do yourself and the rest of us a big favour and try not to talk yourself into flying an NG for $800 a month.
