There is a lot of misinformation flying around this thread regarding the lifestyles enjoyed by pilots in the US compared to Australia.
An apples to apples comparison would see Australian pilots fair much better than most expect.
“The generally-agreed statement is that Australia is the only third world aviation nation where you can drink the water. The word “aviation” in that statement is important. Anyone here saying it is not needs to fly in an actual first world aviation nation.”
I am interested to know what exactly constitutes “third world” in the aviation sector down under as apposed to the “first world” to which you refer. Can you provide some detailed examples?
“The socialist/marxist thing is gaining momentum”
Interesting, can you provide some examples?
