OK, you've obviously looked into it and I'm no expert. It just sounded like you thought it was a 'slam-dunk' to get a working visa in a commonwealth country and I knew that wasn't true.
I work with lots of ex-Easy and Ryan guys. They aren't exactly complimentary, but it doesn't sound so bad to me. I like that type of flying, the pay's not bad and I really like the idea of being home every night.
Good luck whatever you decide.
