Become a Pilot in Australia
Hi all, I've read these forums for years and finally joined.
I'm posting this because I need honest/professional advice from anyone in the industry. I'm 31, I have a PPL and would love to make a life long career as a pilot. I have a very supportive wife and 2 young kids. Here's a few questions I hope I can get some answers/advice on.
1) I'm thinking about flying with a college at Bankstown which offers Vet Fee Help. Has anyone done this and is it a good path to go down?
2) Is getting a MECIR something I should do whilst getting CPL or go straight to a NVFR and instructor rating? (I love teaching people new things so instructing is something I will prob end up doing).
3) Being 31 and not having a great education. Can I get 'good' job in a few years? ME charter / RFDS / Regional RPT
4) Is there work around? do Fresh CPL's struggle to find work and if so will this get better?
Sorry for the long question. Some big decisions to make soon.
