I think the reason it is advertised is an expression of interest to see is there any ATR pilots left in Oz. They have not put a minimum level of experience or mentioned rights to live and work as a requirment in the advert. Very vague, ATR captains are very hard to come by. There are lots of very well paid jobs on the market for experienced ATR guys but most shall we say are in (developing countries)There are a few guys watching from Europe to see how this develops as a life in Oz would be very appealing if visa were sorted out. With Jet airways, Vietnam Airlines,Lion air and Cebu all looking for ATR captains for years will this be the same? With 300 ATR's backlog on the demand for captains is there.ATR is a great machine but a bit of a nightmare to crew.
