I started instructing with Sunair here in Fiji with another guy two months ago. We are both from Melbourne and building our first 1000 hours. The domestic carriers (Sunair and Air Fiji) here only employ local pilots and the international carrier Air Pac usually only take type rated pilots from over seas. The only real chance is instructing as there are no local instructors so they bring guys out from NZ/OZ every year. We are here at Nadi for a year and should log at least 900 hours (no duty time limitations for instructors over here!) Conditions and pay are more than enough as expats are on a higher salary than the locals. Its not fantastic but its cheap to live here and you do it more for the aviation experience anyway.
