[QUOTE=jsfBoat;1173039]Any one been interviewing without a Saab type rating? Thinking about applying even though I'm not Saab typed.[/QUOT
From what I understand you do not have to be PIC typed on the Saab... they are looking for pilots that have certain TT, PIC, and Crew environment turbine time. They are very serious about bringing pilots down to Australia and by comparison to the compensation in the US I think the pay/QOL/etc is pretty fair. My opinion is that having zero Saab experience and trying to become a Direct Entry Captain would be pretty difficult... especially if you haven't been in a transport category left seat before. I would recommend that you submit your resume... if they call you up for an interview they are interested and if they don't call they aren't interested. Best of luck.
