So please stop thinking "our" ATPL is the only one to have here. We want the rest of the world to except ours if we travel, about time this country caught up with the rest of world.
Hey, I don't agree with it, I'm just saying there are some Australian airlines that want you to have the Australian exam credits, so rather than worrying about the hours for the ATPL you'd be better off looking at whether the companies you'd like to fly for require Aus exam credits and if they do, put some time and money in to that if you don't already have them.
