Hey 777xpilot,

If I could do it again, I'd come around early January. I understand that some people will say the earlier you come the better but that's not necessarily true i.e. coming to the top end around September - December where there's just little to no hiring cause who would want to take a chance of a 200hr fresh CPL coming into the wet season?? The WA companies like to do a majority of their hiring around the start of the year to prepare themselves for the upcoming 'touristy' dry season whereas the NT companies will generally do hiring throughout the year, but primarily conduct their hiring just before the dry season starts (so about March would be the sweet spot to come to the NT). Essentially just depends on where that person chooses to base themself. Again, this is all from what I've experienced but I hope I've helped
