Some questions for the ones out in the field:
Do employers of newly qualified ag ratings care much about age to start as a loader?
I am 35 and have Aust CPL, 1400TT, MECIR, Night, and lots of farm experience, aircraft maintenance, and not afraid of hard work. Love farm work and Im not after hours for airlines, etc. Have chemical knowledge but no Aust quals yet. I would like to do my Ag rating soon.
Do you think, just based on these facts (specially that Im not 18 and new out of school), I could get a chance loading for a few seasons to hopefully get a seat flying in the future? What is the offer/demand situation in the current state of agriculture in australia?
Any opinions on people with similar experience?
Any insight welcome.
