Pardon my ignorance on the subject. Is REX hiring US pilots? I flew to Sydney, and I was impressed enough with what I saw to inquire into becoming a pilot. I contacted Qantas, and surprisingly the DO called me back and explained that the Australian market was similar to the US in that there was an abundance of pilots. I researched, and found out that it is highly unlikely that any US pilot would be sponsored by an Australian airline for the proper visa etc. The US pilot would also incure the cost of obtaining the Australian ATP which is not cheep. After 2001, Ansatt went out of business, and the market became almost just like the US with an over abundance of pilots. This being said, I have long since given up an the possibility of flying in Australia. Have the circumstances changed at all? Is there now a possibility for a US pilot to be both sponsored, and rated by the Australian airline? I appreciate the info.
