The point is that this is targeting countries that don’t have the same living conditions as Straya.
The money might not be the best but the perceived QAL is.
You and I know that living on this amount in Straya does not equal QAL, however someone from places with civil unrest etc this would be the light at the end of the tunnel.
I hope I’m wrong but I reckon there will be a steady stream of applicants.
At least in the US of A it’s the same money as locals (ok you could argue locals could take the job here). From what I see the US of A operators are not using E3’s to drive wages down overall, it is a genuine shortage of qualified pilots.
This visa looks like a direct attempt by companies to keep wages down and drive them lower, shame, shame shame…..
