"I graduated from the University of South Australia in 1991.
I worked as a Flying Instructor for the University of South
Australia for 3 years. In addition, I spent any free time trying to
get those important multi engine hours doing Bank Runs, Charter, and
Freight flights at night. In hind-sight, this was the hardest and
most memorable flying I have done.
After 2 years in a Regional Airline flying Turbo-props, I got a job
with Cathay Pacific Airways based in Hong Kong. Seven years later I
have logged over 4500 hours in 747-400 aircraft.
In my opinion, the University of South Australia's Degree in
Aviation and flying school is an excellent way to efficiently
complete all the necessary requirements to become a Commercial
Pilot.
My advice to any aspiring Airline Pilot is to work hard, be
professional, never give up and most all, enjoy your flying now."
