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.
From what I am hearing the new employer is covering the bond of the pilot, bonding for longer could result in restraint of trade.
How would Rex provide an actual flow to mainline?
I expect the covered bond could be well above the $20,000 signing bonus.
I would be pretty sure that immigration allowed pilots into Australia prior to the shut down, yes that was an interesting time.
