pilotbc69 I wouldn't consider going overseas unfortunate. It is actually a real eye opener to just how small, naive and insular the Australian industry is. Living and aviating overseas will open your eyes to far more diversity and opportunity for both professional and personal development than could ever be achieved by staying. Yes some things may lack at times-the quality of life in Australia is still very good, but if you seek greater professional challenges and a broader more realistic view the rest of the world becomes your oyster.
