However if you only have an Indian licence you will be required to prove and supply many supporting items and may still find you have to redo a lot basic tests for your licence and indeed you may struggle to even get your licence accepted .
now as far as going from Captain to FO, well that depends on the type of Captain/ person you are, and only you can answer that .
But you won’t be held back or find any bias against you, it will be up to you and your wife to make it work if your interested .
All I can confirm is the aviation industry in Australia is very robust with big potential, but very competitive for sought after positions.
The last paragraph made me laugh.
