Hi there,
I am a reasonable way through my PPL at the moment (planning to finish it in Ireland) and am looking at changing careers after one or two years. I will be (hopefully) moving full time to Australia on the back of my I.T education and experience, once I (again, hopefully) get the Residency Visa I have applied for. I then hope to finish my CPL in Australia.
My question is - are there many jobs down under for a newly minted CPL that is interested in crop dusting, island hopping, or small freight hauling in light twins/singles?
I realise I probably will have a lot of competition and my hours will be insignificant compared to the old hands, but does anyone think I have a chance? (I'm 39)
I don't want to go near the big jet/airlines type of job.
Cheers!
