I'm afraid it doesn't look good Blacknight.. .. .As a Pom I went to Australia where I flew for five years before returning to Europe. Why? Well, much as I loved it, don't regret a thing and plan to go back one day it's true that progress from piston engine aircraft is much, much quicker here.. .. .Unless you've the right to a passport I wouldn't rate your chances of getting a work visa, especially with all the unemployed Australian pilots they have at present.. .. .My advice, unless there is some massive change between now and the completion of your course, would be to stay in Europe.
