Im Australian Working in America . I want to come home ....
I applied at rex a year ago , they said no because I had an faa llicense .
Could not contact Tiger because I could not find a link on there web site for Pilot employment, ( They may have fixed that ). Its not the Airlines fault however.. CASA is very strict about the license conversion . FAA to Casa requires 15 written exams including Air Law , some flying in a multi twin and a check ride for the ATPL and IFR combined . The only credit they give an FAA license is for a privat pilots. So your 10,000 hours of jet time in America flying in the most conjested Airspace in the World count for ZERO. Cost.....$6K to $15K for the course depending on the flight school.. You may get it cheaper , then you can apply for that job on the RJ at $42K as was mentioned here..
.. Im still looking or another way to do this. If there is a Visa to allow US pilots yo fly on there fAA Iv not seen it. Iv managed to get an interview in South east Asia and Im very excied about it and I am looking forward to the job at least I can go home to the Beach at Noosa now and then. But paying for the License all over again just to fly in OZ is not an option anymore..
Oh Well maybe in my next life.. Good luck
