ops...too many shortcut...sorry....
i try my best to type properly >.< too much msn and sms.
But i think it's not easy to get a job in either Qantas or Jetstar. The Aviation Australia(AA)'s instructors are trying to help us to get a job in middle-east or other airline companies rather than their own australia companies. This is because AA offers certificate courses(A,C,E,I,R) for aussie ONLY. They just attending for couple of months and they can work, faster than international students. Of course, if they need to obtain EASA license, they need min 5 years of working. International student just only need min 2.5 years.
PS: I'm not saying AA not a good school or something.
AA is the only part-147 training school nearest to Malaysia and i currently study there.
Just want to say that it's hard to get a job in Aus and getting PR is very very very damn hard now.I heard from news said that 2010 will change the imigration system due to too much illegal smuggler (boat people) from Indonesia, Philipines and India. 
That's good as you are already studying there. Which batch have you enrolled in? We are their official representative in Malaysia and currently have sent the first the batch last year November. Maybe it is a bit difficult right now but i believe things will change soon. I know about the certificate courses offered for only locals but it is not a straight forward path to become an LAME. They just want to fill in the gaps in the Aircraft Maintenence sector's workforce shortage in a shortest time possible. But i think it's not easy to get a job in either Qantas or Jetstar.

If you ask me, any companies will do initially just to get your experience and of course Part 145 companies would be better. There are many MRO companies in Australia and also around the world and don't just depend on your instructors to get you a job. If you don't mind please PM me your email address for further discussion on AA. Appreciate it.
Do not worry about the immigration changes as Malaysians do not really travel by 'boat' to Australia!
