Jobs in the east
Seems like jobs in the exotic east are becomming more plentiful everyday.
Not everyone's cup of tea but I hear that if your an F/O with as little as 1500 hrs your able to get a start in Taiwan with China Airlines on some heavy metal (744/A340). Don't even need a type reating. I'm sure a bond would be needed but Taipei can be a fun place for a young lad.
Even the "old boys" thinking of early retirement can pick up a pretty sweet deal. I've heard China Airlines will entertain any age now and retirement at age 60 is up for review by the CAA this year.
A change is as good as a holiday - they say.

Any idea what the competitive mins are for F/O at China Airlines?
I know for example CX states 1,000 hours for S/O but I guess you can nowadays pretty much triple or quadruple that number AND add jet command time to actually get hired (or so I've heard). So I'm assuming China Airlines' F/O comp.mins would follow similar pattern?
Also, any Westerners flying in Asia in general, feel free to chime in on your experiences under the rising sun. Thanks!
