Hey,
Just looking to see how many graduates are like me still waiting and seeking that first GA job? Who is in Darwin now just waiting?
I have finished everything and been recently applying for jobs in a Call Centre. Soul destroying given the money and time I've spent on flight training... to go and work in a Call Centre!!

15 years ago I had the choice of either following my lifelong dream of being a pilot or opening my own business. I chose the latter and I’m glad that I did. A direct result of that is me now being in a position where I don’t have to work anymore. I built up a business from scratch and sold it ten years later enabling me to do the things that I want to do now not what someone else wants me to do. I could get into flying if I wanted to for a pastime but as I get older it’s not the fast shiny things that get my attention these days, more so the lovely lines of a yacht and cruising along at a more leisurely pace. You need to be a little more situationally aware of your surroundings at the moment and adapt to survive. Get yourself a plan B because there’s a massive line of people in front of you with more experience than you’re likely to gain in a lifetime in the same boat as you looking for a way to put money on the table just to survive. I’m pretty sure a pilot with a poor sense of situation awareness won’t last too long in the wet season up north.
