Firstly I must apologise for not speaking the lingo, I appreciate that this is a non english forum, no offense is intended.

I hold an ICAO ATPL(A) (Australian) with IR and about 2000 hours total time, some turbine multi crew but alas no jet. :ugh:

What are the employment prospects in Italy for someone with my experience and what is involved in the JAR conversion if done in your country.

I hold An EU Passport so work visa's not a problem.

Any info greatfully recieved (in engish if possible)

Thanks and Regards
IO:ok:

Interstella,

employment prospects have never been so good as they are lately, lots of jobs....few good ones though.
Looking at Italy alone will greatly restrict your choices, look at the EU as a whole and you'll find much more opportunities including commuting ones.
You will need to obtain a JAA licence, look at the UK for that they are efficient and professional unlike the italian CAA.
Be ready to pay big $ for the conversion and you may also be asked to pay for your type rating once you are EU licenced and with a job offer since it's a common practice here.

Best of luck.
