CFI in Australia or US?
Hello. I am Portuguese and about to finish my college in Engineering. I am not able to get EASA class 1 medical but FAA or CASA one. In this situation, is it means that I could never get any jobs as a pilot in Euro although I have citizenship?
Now I am thinking about flight schools in Australia or in the US. My final goal is to get a job in major airline. Most of which requires 1500hrs or even more, 500hrs PIC. I probably go on CFI or even CFII and become a instructor after my CPL to build up the hours. In this way, is it better in Australia or in the US? I heard that there are 20hrs quota per week to work in Australia while using student visa. It seems that I could use these 20hrs to work as a flight instructor after CPL CFI IR... And at the same time continue ATPL ground school courses.
Besides in the US, is it easy for international to work there? Comparing US and Australia, which country is easier to get the working permit, as commercial pilot with around 300hrs in total, basically I accept any kind of job as long as it could help me to build up hours. Anyone can share their experience? Thanks a lot.
