havick,
That's a good point. I saw his post and debated trying to answer it from the Peanut Gallery. So, I waited for someone smarter than I to kick off the responses.
But someone has to play Devil's Advocate so I will:
What if he goes the US route and by the time he gets competitive here for a US E3 job (2 to 3 years ?), the worm turns and it's suddenly not so good here for E3s ? He's then an Aussie with no Aussie license but is faced with trying to fly back home ?
Is it harder to convert an FAA license to CASA than to go from CASA to FAA ? And then, there's the time factor. Quicker employment opportunities here than there ?
It's a puzzle. But, I'm a
little bit in your camp of suggesting he takes a run at it up here. When you're young and full of energy and optimism, chances aren't as intimidating.
I wish him luck and hope he tells us what he decided.
