I guess this is the problem of the aviation industry. Pilots really do think that they are so special that they deserve special treatment when the pandemic is affecting all other professions in the world.
Was your CASA ATPL exams and type rating exams more difficult than real degrees like engineering or law or medicine?
Just be happy that there are some pilot jobs available that pay north of 100K when majority of pilots are on furlough in the whole world.
You don't wanna apply then fine, let the other aussies who became jobless in the middle east have a shot at these positions. After all, QF folks who are used to special treatment will be ranting throughout the whole flight in tiny Ejets right?
Just suck it up and demand something better when the situation improves. It's not just pilots suffering during the pandemic.
Better yet, go to Canberra and sue China in the federal court. May be Scott Morrison will help you out with that.
