Fresh casa pilot in need of some advice.
G'day pprune, Im a Fresh CPL pilot, wondering if anyone could lend me some advice, on really what to do now, and what my options are.
heres a quick rundown of my experience.
Frozen ATPL
200 hours total time
90 hours twin time (70 in a P.68, 20 in B58)
NVFR rating
MECIR rating
PA31 endorsement
Now that my training is over, feeling a little daunted, if anyone could lend some advice it would be greatly appreciated.

I am assuming you have an Australian CASA issued CPL?
If you use the term "fATPL" in Australia, at best most folks won't understand what you're talking about, at worst, you'll be laughed at.
Can you work legally in Australia? If yes, head north to the Kimberley.
If no, do you have plans to convert your CPL to something else?

Fresh CASA pilot?
So you done everything and now your wondering what to do. Sorry to be blunt but you should have had a plan before you started all your training. Sounds like you've got plenty of money... at the rate your going go and get a A320 and a B737 endorsement and go to every operator and tell them you'll work for free!
Someone had to say it.

I do know the process here in australia, maybe I should of refined my question.
I was looking for pilots who are either in the same position as me or went through it in the past for any advice on the opportunities at the moment, and how many more hours I would need until i could be looking at a twin job etc.
sorry for being a little broad with the statement before.

I am sorry, but you haven't stated whether or not you can work in Australia.
If you can, then pack your bags and head to the Kimberley.
While you're in Perth, get your Dangerous Goods Certificate, a First Aid Certificate and possibly a large vehicle licence (i.e. bigger than cars).
These are very useful things to have when looking for work in the Kimberley.
As for hours? When I did the journey nearly 20 years ago, it was the norm to have about 1,000 hours before you could get near the Partenavia. It may have changed by now.
