Thanks guys for all of the great information!
I just a phone call, yes a phone call, at 3 a.m. U.S. time,from a very nice CASA fellow. He told me essentially that I have to do all of the tests, as well as the flight tests to convert my ATP. Seems like alot, but oh well. Does anyone know of a good flight school in Australia that I can use to do this stuff?? In good, I mean as cheap as possible!
Also, in regards to Qantas, does anyone know what the starting salary and position is for newhires? If anyone wants to private message the info, that would be great too!
lastly, I'm not sure about the job market in Australia, but if anyone with more than 1,500 hours is looking for a great job inthe u.S., the company I work for is hiring, (SkyWest Airlines. ) We fly Crj 200's 700's and EMB 120's and are growing quite a bit with 45 CRJ's being delivered in the next nine months. lots of fun places to fly to, and fun people to fly with! Again, p.m. me if you are interested.
cheers,
