Indeed it is possible - I quit the UK about 4 years ago and trained in Oz. I've been around Australia working for various organisations - some good, some not so......
I know one thing - I'm bloody glad I did!
If you're prepared to put in the hard graft and entice a little luck then it can be done .
Mmmmmm - I love the smell of kero on a crisp winter morning

It certainly is possible, it happened to me...
Been through the losing the job bit, last year as a GA driver, not Ansett....
Found an employer with whom together we built a base......
One word...
Persistence
and the other thing never listen to anybody who says its stuffed.....Remeber a pilot is not necessarily a great endorsement for the industry. The great bit is whilst listening to the rot about how bad it is, think to yourself, thats one I dont need to compete with they've already given up....
And I so advise!

Yep. Trained to CPL, with what used to be Sydney Airways, under Brian wetless, found a job, with a major Aussie airline, (unfortunatly when they are on the ground, and not in the air)
