training in Oz...

[briand]

hi there,

does anyone know if Australian Gov sponsor ( or are looking for pilots/potential pilots ) in any way shape or form????

you know , the way they actively encourage other trades and professions to emmigrate to Oz - has anyone heard of pilots wanted over there???

(even for the military?)

do other countries do this ???

any help would be greatlyappreciated :D

I don't know if the Oz govt is looking for pilots per say, but I do know that Pilots, Flying Instructors, Air Traffic Controllers, etc... basically a lot of jobs in the aviation industry are not on the Occupations In Demand List. Neither are they on the list if you want to immigrate. Sorry to burst your bubble briand. Try lookin at www.immi.gov.au website for more details. Form 1121i should give you your answer.

A limited number of pilot positions may be available in the Australian military but only to overseas, very experienced currently serving military pilots.

An overseas civil pilot license will not get you into Australia.
