redsnail and sheep guts,
cheers for the replys, great to hear them.
redsnail, what about paying for a type rating, and going into an F/O slot with a turbine operator? (does that ever happen). Will be over in 6 months to have a scout before I make the final plunge (any thoughts, as im sure u have been down that road).
sheep guts I have an Aus ATPL, and will have around 2000hrs by the time I decide to go to the UK, fine. Sadly however, it is all piston single instruction. I have very little multi (50hrs). Sounds like your mate was VERY unlucky (great time to have).
Anyways, I wouldnt mind what I was flying o/seas (instructing,s/e), as long as the oppurtunity to progress was there somehow. Would be prepared to pay for a type rating.
Thoughts? (let me guess..... maybe, save your money ans stay in Aus)
