But are Aussies getting a taste of that? Seems only legacy's are seeing that kind of money. UPS/FEDEX etc, which Aussies can't get, unless they have a green card.
Yes they are getting commands at a regional but it's still less then what an FO gets over here and then what next? If you don't win the green card lottery or marry a yank you are pretty limited. Happy to be corrected but that's what I've read and been told by people currently doing it
