Thanks fellas for the positive and helpful feedback.
I have just returned home to Sydney after almost four years in the Northern Territory.
Xcel, funny you should mention throwing bags actually. That is exactly what I spent the last six months doing in Darwin whilst I attempted to find flying work.
At this point in time I have been offered a position with a GA company up in Qld which involves mostly twin flying although they are waiting on extra contracts to be picked up and I am not sure how long I will be waiting. On a positive note I did receive a green light email from a dominant regional carrier yesterday, inviting me to take part in the next step which is good news.
Having said that if something were to come my way today or tomorrow which involved moving back north I would probably jump on it.
