I am after an honest opinion of my chances of getting a right hand seat in a regional. Any takers
Well, yes, I'll bite. IIRC and you are the bloke that used to be Ozzie's CP, then I recon your chances are probably pretty good, provided you've got your BMI under control.
No doubt you've read the appropriate threads running on Pprune? The E3 visa sounds like a God-send for Aussie pilots. Four years flying a CRJ around the States would be a hoot - hard work too, I imagine, and it would set you up nicely for semi retirement on the Cobham SAR contract.
If you make the leap, let us know how you go.
Best of luck.
