That is a job you can kill yourself quickly, because you go 99% of the time. The one issue I have heard with people only with GA CFI backgrounds, is their lack of flying in weather. Go 135 for a year and you will have the bad weather and IFR proficient box checked for sure!

at least Horizon won't ask you to resign or put a lot of pressure on you for needing extra training. If you need more training before maneuver validation, no biggy, you just get it. Then if you still need more training it'll go to the training review board and then you get more training. The TRB might go on the PRIA but I actually have no idea, maybe someone else knows better here?

It's ironic to read this Aussie chatter here and the SkyWest thread. QantasLink (the regional for Qantas) recently made a big recruiting push on the Island Air pilots in Hawaii. QL needs to hire at least 400 next year with classes starting next month. Huge perks and incentives. Paid move. First month housing free. All training, testing and Australian license conversion paid for. 6 weeks vacation right off the bat. Visa sponsorship for you and immediate family. Considerably cheaper health insurance... so it's odd that Aussies are willing to go to the States for a lot less.

What does show up on a PRIA is a failed training event that causes a TRB to happen, but the review board itself is just an internal procedure that doesn't show up anywhere outside of internal QX records.
