Good on you medsdeb for having a go.
And good to see overseas managements recognising the good training given in Aus. If you are keen, you will enjoy the ATR and the change of culture, and develop more of a World outlook on aviation than the sometimes bitchy competitive struggle one endures in a smaller environment. Also good to see those airlines prepared to take on other culturally different crew to reinforce safety in their patch too. You should always be prepared to speak up if you are not happy with some things. Your life may depend on it..!!
