Plenty of Aussies in the Middle East and Asia with US ATPs and 10,000 hours heavy jet.
Also don't kid yourself - you are scabbing on American pilots, particularly if being used to undermine conditions at places like Atlas or Southern.
bafanguy this is what I meant. Whilst it may not be the intention of the Aussies, bet your ass Atlas/Southern management want a group of employees tied to the company via visas. Possibly smart move on their part.
