hi all, I apoligse if this is in the wrong forum. I have a CPL/multi-engine instrument rating, and almost 800 hrs (inc 100 turbine). Im wanting to get into some sort of freight position in the future and was wondering what I can do to increase me chances of this. I live in New Zealand at the moment. ANyone have any ideas? Cheers :ok:

try ppjn.com.

For Air Contractors you will need an ATR type rating whereas a company like DHL UK will train and bond you on a B757...

do some internet searches to find more info

Perhaps in need of updating, but an interesting resource nonetheless!

Thanks!

Have you got 300 Multi?Get your self a beech 1900 rating, and head up to Dubai, falcon express has few kiwi boys there flying the 1900's there.Its a good gigg if u want freight job.

With these hours and no type rating, you can try Westair Europe and/or Westair Luxembourg (provided of course you have the right to live and work in Europe).
