Getting into Bizjets in Australia/nz/asia
Hi there,
Has anyone got advice on how to get into bizjets in Australia/NZ or asia? I see the odd job advertised but its always for a highly experienced type rated captain.
If you're in GA with 2600 hours and no multi crew, is it best to try go fly a dash 8 or similar and boost up your multi crew hours first?
Cheers

Most of my mates have had significant multi pilot/jet time and time on type. All were head hunted.
You need to make yourself competitive. A Dash 8 is a good start, have you considered Coastwatch? I think they have Challenger 605s or something. A useful type.
Being from GA you're used to doing everything from collecting pax and chucking bags. You'll be doing that and a lot more. Networking is key. If you can, chat to the crews if and when you see them.
