So I'm thinking of getting my rotary-wing CPL, and am looking for some constructive feedback as to how the employment prospects would be.

Have worked my ass off to save the cash required (though would still pay as I went), so I have some kind of understanding as to the work ethic I'm going to need to be successful. And likewise I understand that many first jobs are mustering, but in reality how many mustering jobs are even out there? Will I spend two years searching for my first job, or with guts & determination is it possible to make a go of it?

I realise that many get into rotary & fixed CPLs with a false expectation as to how easy and how profitable it will be to find a job, so obviously I'd like to avoid that at all costs. I've got the money to get some ratings & conversions, but I'd appreciate any & all constructive feedback. Ta!

You should probably post this on the Rotorheads forum and do a search on the same, as there are several threads on this subject to be found there.

Yo wiz, I went looking for the NAH guys up there while I was there and was told by a fixed wing bloke that they were all out "a chasin' cows"! Jayrow also operate there too. J/Ranger.

Must have a bit on at the mo.
