Money is very good on the heavies (in the airlines) so long as your licenced ... I can PM you details if you wish

GA (lighties) in oz is pretty poor ...

noone wants to spend money in the small industry ... you've got to be in jets to get the best of the industry here.
I'm domestic heavys mate ... licenced Boeing 737's primarily (classics / new gens) also now EMB 170 /190 ... but with Airbus experience as well. Its been very good to me ... done trips to Seattle to collect and ferry new aircraft into Aus for instance, and met some great blokes

.
We also have expats from around the world ... British / Canadian etc. As with only two airlines here its pretty hard to get experience

.
Warren ... did you get involved much in aviation in your time ?
