Corporate Aviation (Flight Crew) In Australia.......How to?
I'm hoping someone can shed some light on how to get into the Corporate Aviation World.
I'm a Commercial Pilot currently completing my MECIR and ATPL(subjects) at YMEN, every day these Gulfstreams, Global Express, Falcons and Hawkers are punching holes in clouds.
Every time i hear one spooling up i find myself running to the window to watch it take off, using what seemingly looks like less runway than the 172 and PA.44 i fly use.
How does one get into this world as a Pilot? From what i have seen and understandably i might add, they all ask for thousands of Hrs and current on type.
Is it a case of just gaining Hrs elsewhere and then paying for an endorsement?
Or just getting in the door and 'kicking ****' for months, even years and hoping that by showing your commitment they will offer you a company paid endorsement?
