Bush Bunny Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Just wondering if anyone has gone to Oz on a work permit and found a job, or had one lined up before going over. A freind of mine from there, an old FW buddy, is trying to get me to come down as a good friend of his owns a rotary outfit in Tasmania. I'm in the process of contacting several companies now. The license conversion looks straight forward and the visa shouldn't be an issue either - just wondering how the job hunt is done, good and bad outfits, that sort of thing. Any info would be appreciated. PM if you don't feel like advertising. Thanks, BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picapart Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 I wouldn't waste your time bush bunny. I have been down here for almost 4 months now as an engineer on a canadian machine. What I have seen here is that there is slim to none as far as work goes. The company I'm working for has 5 214's on contract and some of the co-pilots have a lot of hours as in over a few thousand and would not have any trouble finding work in canada. But there still co-pilots here. If you want to come down for a holiday, this is a heck of a great place unless your working out of bankstown in sydney.

picapart Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 hey randy, sorry I never got back to you. Things here in bankstown are pretty quiet here in bankstown. We flew 15 hours this season and were the high time machine of the 214 squad. Thank god for mininums. anyway, catch you in canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heli Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 Picapart, Don't you like sunny Bankstown Count your blessings, you might have been in an hotel near Redfern....... :shock: Or down in the balmy south with us Mexicans, or sweating it out in Qld with Johnnie Mac over your shoulder. Say hi to him if he's around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
