While national precedence reins and the expats are 'just there to hold a seat warm for a local' then PX will never be other than a short term gig for the vast majority of expat pilots....only there because they are needed
.....duh..
If any of you take up (not almost) PNG citizenship
and hand back in your Oz one, the good viewers may give some consideration to your chest (..and other
) beatings. Aussies are one of the few peoples left in the 21st century clinging to their colonial imperialistic ways of yesteryear...butting into everybody's business at every opportunity. All expat pilots should be on contract - with the contract making a contribution to training of national pilots. Any current expats should have the once only option to make a long term comittment to PNG with a citizenship grant along with which comes a PNG bonding / scheme (to ensure they are sincere).
Despite the perception, airliner pilots are a dime a dozen, and the current expat whingers can be replaced at a moments notice.
