T&G - I must be missing something. Have CASA recently changed their requirements for conversion from UK to Aus? Pardon my ignorance in this area as I haven't looked into UK to Aus.
I've looked into the Aus to Uk, and I think redsnail has dabbled a "little" in this area. Basically my Aus licence isn't worth the paper its written on unless I have 500 multicrew hrs (which I don't have). Even then I would still have to spend a small fortune to convert the licence. Unless something changes i.e. I win Lotto or the Laws change (yeah right..keep buying lotto 126.7!) I will never fly in Europe.
It was really my mistake to have trained here. I was young and silly and did not look into it enough. I wish I had read pprune all those years ago.
PS How are things going over there Redsnail...?
