Hour building help !!

I have come to Australia to do my ICAO CPL ME IFR and ATPL subjects , i have been studying here for 13 months now and i have already seen 2 fellow students that have completed courses ahead of mine go to fly with dodgey operators because these are the only initial jobs available to them, these 2 have been involved in FATAL accidents which are due to low standard of maintenance and overloading of A/C.

I hold dual citizenship AUS/UK but have lived in dubai most of my life, after speaking with a lot of emirates guys they have pointed me to Falcon Air (contracted by fedex) which do regonal runs throughout the mid east I have found out that they require 500tt with 300ME and a endoresment on the B1900.

The only way to get the hours/endoresment is to do it through a eaglejet program in the states. I really want to avoid the GA route especially here in AUS.

Are there any other companys doing B1900 endorsements and time ?

Any info comments would be great

(please no comments about how ppl "feel" about eaglejet)
