It also depends on what stage of life your in. A few year's ago I'd agree with your sentiments about not wanting to stay at a LCC.I dont Work for QF, I'd prefer to work there but I don't know now. Ive also lived overseas, it's not that great. Aus is my home, I like my house in a rural area surrounded with trees and greenery. My Mrs likes it. I want my kid's to have this to. But, flying narrow bodies domestically in Aus is boring as batsh*t 99% of the time. Since I started this career, I've always wanted to fly wide bodies to all corners of the globe but, once I turned 30+ i realised that, 1: I'll probably never be Happy with what I have career wise. 2: That flying wide bodies overseas will also quickly becomes boring as batsh*t too. So I try to be content with what I have. I remind myself that flying is Just a job, it's not my life nor does it define my status or who i am. Giving up a life here for some **** hole in the middle east / Asia for a big shiny Jet would be (for me) incredibly foolish.
