Hi, I am in the final stages of completing my CPL (H) licence. I am also a Avionics LAME that is typed on 737NGs who is looking at the option of gaining helicopter LAMEs as well.
I am fully aware of the struggle for a low hour pilot to gain his/her first job which will allow them to start building up their experience. As you can tell I have been around aircraft for a while and have a genuine passion for all things aviation. I have 2 questions that I hope could be answered.
1. Does any know whether there are low hour pilot options in NSW without me having to head north of the border? (Not wanting company names just an idea if that option is available to me)
2. I have been told that once companies find out that I am a LAME that my "professional" flying days will be over as there is a shortage of Avionics LAMEs. Is this true or just people exaggerating? (I was hoping to use this trade to supplement my pilot's wage. I have been told I am pretty good at this career. No complaint so far!
)
Any constructive help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Chris
