I’m very happy where I am flying back in Australia, earning a good deal more for much less stick hours a month, and I don’t have to worry about E3 visa renewals anymore. This was always the plan when I went and did the E3 thing in the USA 4 years ago.
VH,
Glad it worked out for you. Just to round out the story for your fellow Aussies,
in general terms, how difficult was it to get your FAA type rating added to your Australian license ?
