Boys,
I was in the same boat BCAS as you a few years back. I came here with just over 3000 hours all turbo time. Got hired as a DEC on a large turbo prop and now been a year on a 75/76. For people to take you seriously you need to be done the conversion.
Recruitment is on going here and this fall will be busy. Although things are starting to roll in Canada I would still consider a job here. If you need any other info PM me.
Good luck.
