Hi Tomahawk.
firstly, the most important question is, do you have a Indian ATPL or an American ATPL converted or any another FAA Approved licence .
if so then after you gain a resident visa in Australia and covert your licence all airlines are open to you and available .
However if you only have an Indian licence you will be required to prove and supply many supporting items and may still find you have to redo a lot basic tests for your licence and indeed you may struggle to even get your licence accepted .
now as far as going from Captain to FO, well that depends on the type of Captain/ person you are, and only you can answer that .
But you won’t be held back or find any bias against you, it will be up to you and your wife to make it work if your interested .
All I can confirm is the aviation industry in Australia is very robust with big potential, but very competitive for sought after positions.

There’s potential in this industry, but there needs to be a quantum shift in the attitude towards staff if airlines are to take full advantage of it.

Hi everyone! Just wondering on what everyone's thoughts were about where to apply if you want to fly from BNE or PER...
I'm a permanent resident (born in Belgium) and recently got my Australian ATPL and 4000 flight hours and will now be starting to apply to places.
Thanks a lot for any tips and guidance!

For Perth Network's your easiest bet, for Brissy it would be Alliance, for anyone else you will joining the back of a long queue to get a Brissy base.

Run some numbers carefully before you turn up, and I would have a cash pool before I arrived also. This is a very expensive country to currently live in, a family needs a household income be it single or dual, of at least 150k.
100k is the new 60k, so 120k you are borderline or going into negative expenses. Rent in Perth for a 3 Bedroom is $600-$700 per week. Grocery Bills $300. Fuel $100. Kids Misc expenses $100. Bills pro rata $300 per week.

Sage words. I was quite shocked repatriating to Australia as to how pilots were struggling so hard in positions that decades prior were well paid. It’s only going to get worse too. We have to pay for our COVID policies and cost of living will go through the roof. As a landlord I’ve never seen such a carte blanch attitude to massive rental increases- which are taken away soon after by indebted state Labor governments in the form of land taxes etc.

Network Pilots working like dogs on a terrible EBA can't even get a CPI increase. They must be wrapped about the $20,000 the company is offering people to join that circus on day one. Nice job kicking your guys in the guts when they are already miserable and getting ready to leave in huge numbers. What a disgrace.

Flying within WA gives the opportunity to enjoy a consistent work life balance. We're based in beautiful Perth and have a lifestyle that suits us. For us, this makes life pretty special.
