Hi FlyingMonkey,
Just to clarify, would acquiring a CASA or NZ Licence provide a Singaporean with the right to work in say Oz or Nz? I'm not too sure of that, it depends on supply and demand and from the way I see it, there are many Australians pilots who are in search for jobs in their homeland and a Singaporean acquiring any other licence then a CAAS licence would not be constructive or handy in their flight career.
If you do have friends whom have succeeded via this route and have a career with a foreign carrier other than Singapore or Indonesia, do enlighten me.
Many thanks.
