hi sandman
build up hours for what?
there are always jobs in the cattle industry
but the usual prerequisite is a rural background in australia. don't despair though many a kiwi has started his flying career over here. the cattle industry is one of the best for helicopter piots and if you can get a start the money is better than any where.(nearly), on top of that it's great fun and raises your skill level rapidly.
most of the guys that live and work in the outback permanently are some of the best pilots you could hope to get in a machine with. if we could manage to coerce some of these blokes away from the bush the industry will do well. there is a lot of wasted talent out there. good luck to you if you give it a go.
