Hey sonicviper,
Yeah it's not much opportunity for work with less than 500TT unless you're lucky and can get some PT91 stuff. Otherwise you're stuck with instruction or with a bare CPL banner-towing or something crappy like that. It's probably equally hard to find bare CPL/CPC work here as it is in oz unless you've got an instructor rating, but I guess you're not getting much out of that either huh?
