I am sure REX are having a sigh of relief.
P.S. They are not 457 visas, and my understanding is that they don't require the companies to commit to training like the 457 did.
What is your position on the E3 visa in the USA?
How about they raise pay or if they are so worried about people leaving bond them for a little longer, or even better provide an actual flow to mainline after x number of years.
E3 Visa situation is different the US actually has a shortage. US regionals are offering sign on bonus's of $20,000+, pay rises have been in the double digits and most regionals now have flow to mainline, once Qlink offers that, then they can have 457 Visa's
Australian pilots once shut down the country over pay, now they accept pay rises just above inflation while pilots come in from overseas.
