Hi Guys,
I am starting a pilot course March 08. I am an older chap (44) and am dreaming of getting a flying job later on in the year. Do you think I am waisting my time due to my age. I am thinking I might try Rex etc. What dio you think. Does anyone have any info or advice in relation interviews etc. I am a new member.

Forget the cadetship, as they only want the young and gullible. That is one very expensive shortcut that may be heading for a dead end!
Good luck. (sincerely)
- Learn to fly
- Get your CPL
- Get your Multi-IFR
- Get 10 hours on type of the most used G/A twins, either pay for it yourself or look around for some sort of ICUS scheme.
- Do the rounds and sell yourself.

Absolutely tmahon.
Only it took me 9 years in GA before my first airline gig. With the situation today, you should be able to do it in much less time. Be under no illusion however, there are no garentees and there will be sacrifices.
Fell free to PM me if you want more.

Half-Pint,
I'm American and applied to REX several months ago after seeing an advertisement in an American Mag called Professional Pilot. I was invited to interview with them in Melbourne at my own expense with Rex providing the Hotel. With what I'm reading here and the pay scale they showed me, I'm very hesitant.

FR8DOG44.....
do a bit more homework too.... in Oz, we have slightly higher tax rates too.
check out Australian Taxation Office Homepage
also check out Real Estate, Property, Land and Homes for Sale, lease and rent - realestate.com.au
this will tell you how much tax you will have to pay, plus maybe give an indication of house prices here.
good luck

Foreign Pilots
Half-Pint,
Rex will hire foreign pilots, they have approval under Aussie immigration to use a visa called a 457 which allows for fast tracking of applications and employment here, which can lead to permanent residency (if that's what you are after!)

Apache,
I've been to OZ 5 times now, although always to SYD. Real Estate prices put me in a state of shock! I don't how folks in SYD do it! I am also familiar with Aussie tax rates. In some cases it's less than the US but you guys do pay pay more for consumer goods as thats where your Gov hits you really hard! What REX pays is what's causing hesitation. One might have to hole up in a cardboard box in a park somewhere to work for them. My only other reason for doing it is because I really do love Australia and it's a great place to live, and, as you know, the States are falling apart!

mate, If you have a decent jobn at the moment, and can afford to sit out this situation with the economies etc, then that is what i would advise at the moment. Aus isn't holding up unscathed either at the moment.... and may only get worse with China feeling a pinch too...
