parabellum, Don't know what you are on about, you can fly til any age where
you live already.
Not so, not long haul anyway.
I retired here, I flew on a UK licence (and ME and SE Asia licences). Not allowed to work here anyway on my visa then, Australian Licence or not and as for getting an airline job in Australia, as a Brit. on a long stay Temporary Residence visa? Dream on! The queue is very long and a lot of well qualified Australians are overseas and looking for opportunities to come home.
I wanted the extra five years arbitrarily taken away from me that cost me five years as a B744 skipper, that is all.
