I am only asking to see what point of view you are looking at it from.
I'm helo background, but mixed it with all the fixed wing boys. Did the guernsy out in the NT for a while, short stint in NZ and elsewhere, now mil with the hope to finish the RAN/RAAF pilots course at pearce (fixed wing, back to helo's early next year).
What I am getting at, it is just as hard to get the first break over here as it is in NZ. It's not the promised land for the first job in AU like I overheard many of the guys finishing their CPL's in NZ make it out to be.
