I've almost 1200TT Multi Turbine with regional experience and still not a word from Jazz, don't have the ATPL/Frozen anything like it yet tho, it could be the reason why.

I'm currently in SE Asia, been here sing 2018 when airlines here were plucking fresh out of school newbs, I was one of them. Obviously recruitments are dwindled to a non-existence even here right after the covid. A guy i know was going to Vietnam for ATR contract before pandemic, but didn't make it ...
