PookeyMaster Donating Members 1,531 Member For: 14y 2m 15d Gender: Male Location: Parramatta, NSW Posted 28/09/12 04:10 AM Share Posted 28/09/12 04:10 AM Pookey if that's your dream job your best bet is to get into a full time instruction/charter role.. Just to build hours.. Then Qantas used to run training roles "Junior Captains" I think they called it... This was where you got your proficiency in the larger aircraft.That's basically what I want to do. Getting your Private Pilot Licence is not too expensive, it can be done for $10,000 as long as you don't take a 6 month break from it and pass everything first go. Most people do it over 12 months on weekends because it doesn't allow you to make money at the end so you need a normal job to keep you going. Then it's anywhere from $25,000 to $50,000 to get your Commercial Pilot Licence which allows you to make money. The cheap route won't get you in to airlines, you need to pay extra to get the night certifications and instrument certs, etc.Once I've done that, then I'll find a smaller airline to build up hours while I get my Instructors Rating (you earn more money from that) and then while I'm an instructor complete the ATPL which you need to fly passenger jets.As for the Qantas thing, they still do it but they currently have an intake freeze as they're cutting costs. In 5 years though they'll be after heaps because they're in a similar situation as Teaching with heaps of retiring baby boomers.Problem I found in the passenger aircraft space is that most airlines won't look at you without an avionics degree. Will be good when missus finally finishes uni. Will be able to take time off to study/train if I need to.There's a good reason for that in Australia. The unions in their infinite wisdom made the airlines long ago to agree to attempt to redeploy pilots who fail their medical's through no fault of their own. Say they lose their eye in a car accident or something. Having a degree allows them to redeploy you easier. As most of the Uni degrees are majority management subjects, it allows them to put you pretty much anywhere.Yeah that does suck.. A couple of my mates did the Bachelor of Aviation.. Truth be told I didn't think there was that much in it..But Degrees are the way the world is going..Oh you got a piece of paper that says you can do this? GREAT!!!University of Istanbul.. You did it online? IT SAYS UNI!! TOTALLY LEGIT!!Using UNSW as an example. You can do the Batchelor of Aviation in either Flying or Management. Half the subjects in each are identitcal while the other half focus on the specific area. So Management learn about accounting, law, etc. specific to the Aviation field while the Flying students learn how to fly (at $120,000 of which is not under HECS).I was looking at Rex a while back and they do what Qantas used to do. They pay for all the training upfront (or most of it) and you then have to work for them for a set period of time. Qantas don't do it anymore cause they have more than enough people trying to get in.

You say u love working on ya car and mucking around with cars but if u did it 40hrs+ a week it maybe the last thing ya wanna do when ya get home. It may kill your hobby having to work on peoples cars and all the chit that goes with it. Think of having ic-er as a customer lol. This may not be the case with u though. Im a machinist by trade . I run a massive 100ton 6mtr table 3axis milling machine. . Its fun and work changes but making my own billet performance parts for my car or stuff like that is the last thing on my mind after doing it 12hrs a day. Just a thought.
