I think it's also healthy that these new rates etc get posted here. As a 1:1 comparison for equivalent jobs at home, it shows what an Australian based career should yield, and how successful the Joyce whipsaw has been over the last 14 years at destroying the Australian pilot career.
DYS,
You make interesting points. US carriers competing for Aussies ? Who would've seen that coming.
Whether the US regionals are in jeopardy remains to be seen. Lots of opinion on that.
I don't know about US pay rates influencing pay rates in Australia.
