Hey all,

I am a student pilot on Perth, WA.
I am looking into possible employment after i complete my CPL course, and the outlook is not looking appealing!
I am not familiar with the industry and its current state, can i get some opinions on what my employment prospects may be and whether or not it is worth going all the way to my CPL.

Thanks for any of your opinions.

Perth Student.

I believe there is some movement on the market right now... You can get a job, but it will probably not be easy. Took me a year from finishing my FIR to get a job. Got a very good one in the end though.

CSWAFC and SFC are advertising on AFAP but at least CS requires Senior grade 3. I believe they both pay proper salaries.

If you go through with your CPL, make sure you have a plan for an intermediate job to sustain yourself until you do find something...

-have fun looking.
