One of them requires a CASA license with an encyclopedic knowledge of bureaucratic minutiae and the torturous line training program devised by the Australian grinding machine and the other, lets you fly on the simple and elegant New Zealand regulatory system once you've completed the ground school and sim in Melbourne
Love it! As someone who's worked on both sides on the 'dutch' it is easy to see how dysfunctional, overly complicated and backwards most of the Australian aviation sector is (CASA, ASA, airspace design, C&T culture, GA etc etc etc).
I just don't get it...maybe because the country is flat, has great weather and the size of Europe, we thought we had to complicate things to have something to do...
