Virgin Blue Information Request

[dxbpilot]

Hi ,

Hoping someone can shed some light on this for me. I have left Aus for JAA land to find employment. Thinking about coming back, is there any chance of getting work with VB with 737-800 rating(700 hours , 970TT).

I have a Australian CPL, and a UK CAA fATPL. Will it be possible to work for a company in Aus even though I only have the JAA ATPL's done ?

Thanks

Hey
From what information i have gathered by reading around .. i think all you have to do is sit the Air Law exam again to convert back to AU.

You will need the 500ME command too

No he won't, thank goodness common sense is taking a hold.

VB has decided the rest of the developed world must be onto something, i.e the 1940s requirement of 500ME has been dropped. Yeah, believe it or not, 737-800 time on type is now more highly regarded than a VFR chieftain - crazy eh!

Apply mate, great job to return home to, with your experience you'll have no trouble with the training.

Thanks for the replys,

ules - I think if you have a ATPL then you only have to sit the air law exam however I do not have a ATPL, just the subjects completed (JAA ATPL's).

I guess it may be easier to wait until my ATPL is issued. I'll give it a shot.

Cheers
