But he didn't
have an Aussie CPL - he had one from New Zealand and for whatever reason, hadn't flown in Australia (yet?), so what was he really expecting?
No licence = no flying job, but a least he was employed by an operator with whom he might have been able to
get a flying gig when he did validate his CPL...
