After training in Australia you will most likely have to show how much you want the job and as you only fly a few hours a day in most places you will have to have more skills than just flying. This is where most people fall by the way side due to spending all their hard earned money on flying.
Unless you’re really lucky you may have to spend some months working for nothing for someone to show them that you are useful to them and wont whinge and whine because you’re not flying. As most people don’t have the money to support themselves, or are living on their girlfriends or wives income, this is where they get divorced, break up with their girlfriend or quit their short stint in aviation to earn some real money and save their relationship.
