Hi,
I am considering moving to the UK with my girlfriend in the near future. I currently work as a charter pilot in Australia with roughly 1400 hours total time and 1200 command (although only about 50 hours multi-engine) and a multi-engine instrument rating with 2 renewals. I am looking at converting my ICAO license to EASA and have a fair idea of the steps involved. All my hours and qualifications have been completed in Australia, I have never flown in the UK/Europe but I do have a UK citizenship by birth.
I wonder if those in the know might shed some light on what sort of job prospects, if any, might be available to me upon completing my conversion? Also, do most jobs require a self funded type rating?
Thanks in advance for any information and advice.
