Hey guys,
I'm a little confused though. Sir D, are you saying that Qantas has hired people without doing their ratings conversion? I'm an ATP from the u.s. with about 4000hrs, with about 3200 of that two pilot, airline turbine/Jet. I don't really want to have to go through a commercial checkride again if I don't have too (might not pass
), and it's going to cost quite a bit to do.
does anyone out there have a handle of pay the first year at Qantas? Most airlines in the states start everyone off on the same payscale no matter what equipment they are on. Is that the case here as well? Also, how are internationals looked upon by the other pilots? Here at my airline, we have tons of international pilots who are all great guys to fly with. this month i'm flying with an irishman who came over about five years ago to the states...guess I better get my tolerance up!!
thanks again,
a humble Mookieboy
