Bases are Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra, Cairns, Hobart and Perth.
Brisbane is unlikely for a new start. The rosters vary depending on base, as do overnights.
Lifestyle is probably better than Qf definitely better than Jetstar and Tiger. Quite a few guys back from O/S are enjoying the aircraft and lifestyle. Money is OK. It is a contract section of the company so who knows how long the contract is going to continue? I think 26 years to date.
