Vietnam or UAE

Given the choice between Gulf Air in Abu Dhabi or Vienam Airlines in Ho Chi Mihn. Which would be the better choice. I have haven't had much luck finding any info on Vietnam Airlines so any info would be great.

Everything depends on your situation? Are you married if yes... the vietnamese girls are so attractive that you can budget a divorce at 60%.
I am too old but if I was in your case I will not hesitate more than a couple of seconds except if money is your first aim.

on the go I would say Vietnam all the time.

Gulf Traveller on B767 at Abu Dhabi is a Low Cost (to employer) all around the Indian subcontinent in the middle of the night and Africa. Still interested???

Depends also whether you have Direct contract or through Agency with Vietnam. A lot of Agencies are trying to get Pilots on their database only for you to discover they don't actually have the contract.!

Vietnam girls are so attractive?

Malaysian Eaglet - maybe you've been in Asia too long. Every red blooded male I speak to wouldn't give up an English girl with blond hair and big boobs for a Vietnam girl - fake, cold, calulating and only interested in the dollar is the true story. Yes divorce 60% , but regrets very quickly in 90%.

Do not be so sure about the charms of blonde UK girls. I know a lot of european men quite happy with their asian wife. (I am in this category).
Are the asian girls more calculating than their european sisters? At the end, it is done in a different way but the result is the same...Also an asian wife generally does not want to do a personal career and support her husband.... I stop there, plenty of different situations, fortunately, and a large diversity of characters in Asia like in Europe... So to everyone his choice
Also asian men prefer the european girls so you have still a lot of possibilities...
I forget about boobs... I don't need a MayWest.

Cool Vietnam

I have been here a year now, Saigon is probably the best asian city I have lived in. The girls are good if that is what you want.

The lifestyle is easy, it is very cheap to live, the people are friendly and do not resent the "Foreignors" being here being paid a great deal more than them for the same job.

I don't intend to move on in a hurry!

Every Man's Dream

A country full of desperate women who's only dream is to be with a Western male. Every Vietnam airline must have a huge waiting list of keen pilots. Guess they don't have to pay much with all the fringe benefits

Oh, and don't forget about all the desperate and dateless males who have been there before you

Not bitter - amazed

Big Nuts, Small D***

Pleeeeeese.. I only go out with intelligent men. I don't get traded - I wouldn't trade sex for anything other than a deep meaningful loving relationship.

By the way did you know that 14,000 people a day contract AIDS and a quarter of a million people in Vietnam have AIDS - of that, 50,000 are women between 15 - 49

Get my drift

Blonde?

That means that AIDS has only been in the country for some 18 days.
Also if you stick to the 15-49 female bracket you have 1/5th of the chance.

Talking

The differences between western and eastern woman can be easily summerised: Western woman treat men like sh1t and Easten woman treat men like a King. To further describe the diffences: Weatern girls generally : Play hard-to-get, ignore you if they like you, think that if you talk to them you are trying to get in their pants, have an attitude of superiority rather than equality, think that if you are 10 years older than them and you take some personal interest in them that you are an old perve, are excellent at making belittlling, snide and insulting comments to their partners, are insulted when their bad behaviour is challenged by a male or they are contridicted or proven wrong, cannot say sorry esp. when the're wrong, blame males for everything that goes wrong in their lives and finally are usually fat and sexually inhibited. Eastern Woman on the other hand: Are expert at flirting(Gold medel level), will tell you if they like you or find you attractive even if they dont want to sleep with you, are flattered if you talk to them and take a genuine non-sexual interest in them, love it if you do, have no cultural barriers to interpersonal relationships wrt age difference, know how to make a man feel like a man, treat your friends as guests, appriciate being put on a pedestal, have a vocabulary that contains the word 'sorry', must learn sex as required subject from junior high school, are generally slim have beauiful smooth skin. Sorry Sophie western woman just cant compete! Give me "Made in Japan" anytime!

You poor pathetic creatures

Well guys, I was trying to be nice, but it is common knowledge why men go down that path.... they know that these women won't laugh when they see how small it is

Hey SS, for a woman who "wouldn't trade sex for a loving meaningful relationship" you sure seem to have a thing about a man having a large hammer!

let's get back to the subject

I received an e-mail from an agency that was advertising a cuple of weeks ago on F.I. for A320 F7O in the "Far East".
They outline the contract which happens to be with VA for one year renewable.
Is it going to be one of those agencies that have no contract or is it possibly a true story?
Did anyone else apply and is a little further in the selection process?
feedback appreciated....
Cheers,
Bugs

I think you must have a lot of things to say about this thread in the Cabin Crew forum:
Which Airline has the hottest female Cabin Crew?
Once more the answers are turning around Asia! Unfortunate Sophie....with all those machos!!!

Ralph The Bong....

You hit it right on the head.

Also, in this business Pilots (wrongfully or not) are percieved as having deep pockets...At this US Airlines the flight attendents have a "Five Year Plan" to financial security"

Marry a pilot, bear his kids, after five years live off the Alimony, Maintenance and Child Support. (I suppose it beats sharing an apartment with 15 other B Scale flight attendents.)

Here at my domicile in JFK about 22 pilots have remarried in the last few years. Only 3 have married American girls, the rest of the wives came from deep South America, Australia (surpise, as this domicile doesn't go there) Eastern Europe and Asia.

I've had two white American wives, and presently on the third, an Asian, Korean......This marriage has lasted longer than the sum of the other two.

By the way, Korean wife is more than happy to leave the US to live and retire in Asia....We've been looking at Vietnam, Thailand, Taiwan, and of course Korea.
