Some of them now have Greencards and will be flowing to the majors. If you want to wave your Austronaut dick, check out the latest Delta contract, it's eye watering. And soon there will be Australia sucking on that teat. 4-5 months to command on some types at Delta.
The vibe is that Australia is an aviation **** hole. I can give you any number of 'peer reviewed' stories about the joke interview experiences Australian pilots have participated in in Australia. And the respect you are treated with in the US compared. I'll give you 10's of stories on the QOL that ****s all over the rubbish you work here and the list goes on.
I don’t usually agree with every one of your opinions but you’ve hit the nail right on the head with this one.
