Transition to Asia
#32
Experience, either seat, in actual airline aircraft, goes a long way toward getting hired at a legacy airline. Go back to Thailand, get ATP minimums, then figure some way to get turbine PIC, which is the other biggie to getting on with a legacy.

I'm under the impression that the Thai carriers can't and won't hire westerners due to their hiring locals only policies. I know of only one colleague hired as a DEC at a 767 operation for a Thai airline that is now out of business.
Has that changed the past 2 years or so??

There is some hiring of expat pilots. Asia Atlantic has quite a few; Nok has a small number; NokScoot was going to hire them. Not sure about Thai Lion, Thai Vietjet, and Thai Air Asia.
