Flight training in Australia

Hi there,

I am considering taking up flight training in Australia towards an ATPL for two reasons. 1. It is much cheaper to train 2. I had a glitch in the JAA class one medical which wasn't even an issue in the Australian class one.

I am aware that i would need to gain a work permit or emmigrate in order to gain employment in Australia which i am willing to do.

I was wondering what are the job prospects in austrlia with regards to airlines , charter services and flight instructors like compared to europe and the US. I know the US currently has 10,000 unemployed trained pilots.

Is the level of training in Australia as good as europe / US? Has anyone any advice on which schools in Australia are recommended.

Any advice is welcomed

Cheers

Gareth
