Used to fly for Hazo's, hence my interest here.

There's a thread on the SE Asia forum about Indian nationals training in the USA; thousands of them, and that there will not be enough jobs in India for all those CPL holders.

Don't want to ring any alarm bells, but what do you think of the probability Government might allow 500 of those aspiring pilots to come down to Australia where there is a clear shortage of labor at Rex, et al?

There's only the small hiccup of transferring the US licence to an Australian CPL. Shouldn't think it'd be that hard, though I'm no expert in Licencing.

Allowing labor to migrate all around the world is what many high powered businessmen are calling for, the Harvey Norman guy's recent strident comments being the latest of these.

Hate to see it happen.

Do youse think it's likely?
