Good for you Kenny. However please don’t be shy of explaining how your package translates in comparison to what’s on offer back home. It’s not dick waving. It’s important. Young Aussie pilots would seem to not only have an amazing opportunity broadening their professional opportunities in the US, but also securing considerable financial security. I did twenty years abroad and it was about 3-1 financial advantage to a domestic airline career back home- and that wasn’t a Virgin career, it was either QF or Ansett. I get the Aussies ties for many, but the choice seems mortgage slavery in Oz, or a better rewarded US expat adventure that could always finish back home.
Quite jealous. Are their any lifestyle jobs in the US? Not so pay focussed but prefer the time off. That may extract more Australian pilots. More the near retirement demographic.
