If you had done your commercial licence here is OZ and then got a job in the USA and converted your licence and then spent a few years flying over there then
VB would accept your converted ATPL. What they are trying to do is stamp out those who took the easy road and did a US ATPL instead of going to hard yards and doing the Australian ATPL in the first place. I bet none of you were complaining when you did your US ATPL in under a week while the rest of us took a few months.
You can't complain now that companies in OZ won't look at your application now. Get off your ass and start studying.
