Captjns,

Sorry, sounded like you were doing the usual mainline pilot speech about management and so on in your first post. In any case I recognize most places aren't perfect and while Orient Thai does not seem very glamorous they do seem like a fair employer. That is what I'm looking for, and the fact that I can live in Thailand is a bonus, not a negative for me, my time off will be spent there anyway. I know Orient Thai is also not an airline like JAL or Skymark, but in all fairness I think it's a bit higher (by a very wide margin) than Lion or K Mile or Midex, etc.

In any case, when I have the requisite hours for a left seat there I will definetly be trying to get in.

Disreputable management, both corporate and flight ops level.
My favorite example:

While sitting in the RO seat on a OX flight to Jakarta last year I came across a copy of the ops. manual on the aircraft - The one we were never allowed to see in "training". When the check airman in the right seat noticed what I was reading he said: "Why are you reading that? The guy who wrote that doesn't even work here anymore."

Cash payments.
