Secondly, once you decide to come back to Oz you have to accept that you’re going to have to go right to the bottom of the pile (again something I know about personally). This can be a bitter pill for a lot of guys wanting to come home to swallow. It doesn't matter how many command hours you have on Jets, 2 crew turbo-props, or kite's, it all counts for naught when you get into a company in Australia, you join the queue for bases, commands, fleet transfers etc. just like everybody else.
Well I wouldn't be expecting to come back and be given a captains seat in an airline any time soon. My presumption was you'd just be up against all the other guys who have done their time in the bush or instructing who are awaiting their turn into an airline..? Though if you'd be put below them that would kinda suck as the other guy said...

Thanks guys...

and damn... you've given me a lot to think about.

So damn lost

cheers
