CPL in Australia
Hi,
I'm an English guy in Australia studying for my PPL and am considering taking the plunge and going for my CPL as well.
Once that's completed I would like to train for an instructors rating and hopefully get a job doing just that.
I was wondering if anyone can give me a idea of how easy (or hard) it is for an English guy to get a job in Australian aviation? Also, are the licences recognised in England and if not what needs to be done.
Thanks in advance.

A search would answer most of these questions.
Any way, I'm in a good mood.
You can work in Australia if you have the correct visa. If you do, then the only barrier to getting a job is yourself.
Regarding the licence recognition, PPL no problem, any thing else requires a conversion. Going from a CASA lic to a JAA/EASA lic equals repeating all 14 ATPL exams and doing a fair bit of flying, more so if you don't have an instrument rating.
More about it in LASORS on the CAA's site.
