That's so sad! I was about to ask if anyone had come back with a CPL and then went back to their old jobs because they couldn't find a flying job. Did you tell him not to give up and continue searching? Did he ONLY want to work for SIA and nothing else?

That's so true. The Australian GA market is quite flooded if you read the other threads. There's competition everywhere. When I did some recreational flying while studying there, the instructor (Australian) told me that he himself lost his previous job flying the banderante cos the company folded.

hmm... are you able to live comfortably while working as an instructor? Or do you need to do 2 jobs?
