Whipper.... you don't need to be an Australian ctizen to work here, just have residency. At last count we had about a million Brits here with residency status and British citizenship.

"A 737 rating, two eyes. two arms , two legs guarantees a job with low-cost carriers in Europe - Ryanair, Easyjet etc."
You may want to ask the hundreds if not thousands of guys who have failed the selection about that .
There is a bit more to getiing hired by EZY than what you suggest.

There is a thread running in the Wannabe's Forum where there is a discussion about the potential for a glorious future of airline recruiting. I guess it is relevant to this topic, maybe worth a look.

I completed my CPL/IR training at the end of last year and I am now working as an FO on a decent salary, and I know quite a few people who I have trained with that are all now working.
So perhaps the market is picking up and airlines are starting to look at people with lower hours.

>>Is it Zenophobia in USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand where you have to be a citizen to work there as a Pilot<<
Don't know who's being xenophobic but you certainly don't have to be a citizen to work as a pilot in the U.S.
My company is infested with war brides and other green card holders. Now if we could just do something about those Norwegians <g>...

"Hey, we needed you yesterday..."
It's all very relative. Many, many moons ago, with no more than 500 hours total and maybe 100 hours in a light twin, I found myself in the right seat of a DC6 en route to a tiny country I had never heard of...and I didn't even know how to open the window!
