Firstly let me just admit my massive bias for the following.
Porterboy, I’m sure coming to Qlink would be a lot better than SO at CX but you’re also going to be taking jobs away from local Aussies who get out of GA by getting into Qlink and other regionals.
This new international pathway is just a way to avoid training costs. There is no pilot shortage in Aus. There are a metric ton of guys flying bugsmashers in GA and hoping for a leg up into a regional. Those positions are now getting filled with international applicants whilst the locals get shafted.
By by all means head to a country with no GA industry and live the expat life. But don’t
over those beginning in the industry either. We all started somewhere and this new trend of bringing in the least costly candidate hurts everyone. I mean just look at CX!
