And here's the rub...
Coming from a recently collapsed Australian regional ( at least 4 now), sh#t load of hours and experience, willing to get an endorsement....
but if you don't have that:
500hrs time on type
You are f#cked...
ALL Australian regionals bar the majors fly outdated, old aircraft that will not enable you to get a job overseas ( talking turbine here). It doesn't matter that you've had a 5,10,20 yr safe and successful career, if you ain't got that time on type they ain't interested.
There is a huge pool a skilled, capable crew in Oz at the moment that could fly OS easily but for inane govt rules, idiot accountants and rigid flight departments that cannot see the benefit of employing skilled professional pilots who exceed all their minimum requirements except.... Time on type.
