Stuka,
You've breathed new life into me! Heading down there is a definite some time this year. As for the money thing. . anything is better than working in IT.
Do you have a first point of contact once I get there? I would assume the Aviation Authorities would be my best bet. If you know otherwise please let me know. Last time I was there I got the run around with a lot of irrelevant questions. I am a dual Oz and Chilean citizen by the way. .
