Thanks for the replies. I have the right to work in both as my parents already live out here so I got permanent residence through them. The logical thing does seem to be to do my training in the UK as the price of flying does seem to be identical if not more expensive in Aus which surprised me. I am in Australia at the moment just seeing what's available and everyone does seem to think there are way too many CPL holders already. Would I be right in thinking that an EASA licence would allow me to fly in most EU countries without having to convert licences as well?
