They need ready made Australian guys from EK CX and the Like to come home , but need to hold equivalent positions , then they will be swamped .
its sad you need to lose rank after a long flying career just to change Airlines !
Kidding me right? Airlines need(ed) recognize that in order to keep pilots they need to make it a viable career not some beaten down worthless job. Import all the ex pats you want, it’s still a sh!t way to earn a crust and there will always be a shortage as long as that’s the case.
