Question Hours Building

Can any of you help me with regards operations that offer hour building in either Oz or NZ. Did hear of a guy who was happy to let you fly his Bell 47 while he was doing his commercial work and charged a low hire rate.

Am commercially qualified with NZ licence and am returning to NZ early next year to get my instructors rating to try and get my hours up to a point where people will atleast look at me.

Did get offered a position with Cabair last year as a Trainee Instructor in their part-sponsorship prog but not only did they want to sign me in to a 2yr contract at 12,000 pounds a year but wanted a further 24,000 pounds to bring me up to UK CAA spec even though I have a full NZ CPL(H) licence!!

Have also done a trip to Canada to find a job but no joy after travelleing 2500miles in BC. So any help will be most appreciated!

Thanks
Neil
