Nice place to visit, especially if you were born there and have rellies there, but can be difficult to be considered for a reasonable gig with an Australian operator unless you have the endorsement and hundreds of hours on the type they operate. Just looking at the AFAP job site for KingAir, Brazilia, and Metro pilots reinforces that. Even 1 or 2 year bonded endorsements were years ago, now you have to get them yourself, and the time up somehow too, before applying. Seems the operators would rather take someone from anywhere, - than train -, these days. Just hope it bites them in the a*$# big time when a shortage of locals comes again...
Might push up T&C's...
