“The American journey is a great experience for pilots and their families. The people are great, and they love our accent by the way. The natural wonders and history are awesome to see. It is a very interesting country.

The pilot training is all about big “T” and little “C”, they do a fantastic job, and while there is work involved it is not that hard to transition, you just need to prepare thoroughly.

When you consider things like our main city of Sydney having two runways and a cross strip, then look at the US, it is quite common for airports to have up 8 runways with plans to double that, and they handle it with relative ease.

The Rocky’s are up to 15,000’ high, snow and ice are a yearly operational event, which is taken in their stride with a can-do attitude that is less common here in Aus. Maybe because our challenges are quite different.

I thoroughly recommend going across for the experience, be aware of the risks and limitations, mitigate accordingly. Income for the first 18 months is an example.
I found the two airlines I work with to be big happy families, and a delight to be part of, I am sure you will too.” Steve
