We're forgetting the first rule of flying here guys!
ie. There's only two types of pilots...
airline pilots and those that wanna be airline pilots!
And you wanna know rule two?...
never forget rule one!

Most of you made the wrong choice years ago - you should have chosen choppers when the opportunity was there - except for not having the chance of being shot at (been there done that) now and yes civvy pay is nothing like mil pay, I'm doing basically the same type of flying outside as I did inside.
As the Silver Bodgie once said, large planks are only buses and you blokes are overpaid, glorified bus drivers!!

Bizjets are the way to go if you can get one with stability.
Last week:
Atlantic City- Philadelphia- Bermuda- West Palm Beach- Naples (Florida)- Tampa- Nassau (Bahamas)- New York- Southern Pines (Georgia)- Teterboro- St Simon Island- Tampa- Naples- Minneapolis.
It beats oceanic and the repetition of similar city pairs all the time. With your experience you'd probably get straight into the left seat too.

I don't know about Australia, but Netjets are hiring Aussies for the Netjets Middle East, and I just ran into one at Netjets Europe and we have quite a few here in the US.
We are expanding our operations with the BBJ, if you're into that too. You'll go through a lot of time zones.

There's a couple of Aussies at Netjets Europe.
