I was super lucky, emailed a skydiving company in WA and got the job flying the 206, I had a lapsed MEIR and just over 200TT AND was living in NZ at the time.
Sometimes its being at the right place and right time.. and being lucky as F&^K!!
Enjoying every moment of it.
Dont give up hope! Keep searching, do everything in your power. If your willing to go where ever, there will be a job for you!
