Cue the doom and gloom projections!
Overseas Bus gigs? 300-500 PIC on type is the new 1000 PIC. They’re getting desperate in the ME and central/eastern Asia.

I was thinking more along the lines of Vietnam or Bangkok.

Unless you were furloughed. Then I bet they could. A few UA pilots had to fly for them during the dark decade...

I was furloughed twice. While they were hiring like gangbusters in sandland. No thanks. No desire to be a TCN over there.

I can understand Asia, but NFW the ME.
