The culture comes from CASA not the pilots
And an industrial landscape where Australian airline management policy is to actively exploit the absence of scope clauses and where there is no more than 3% in base wage increases. Meanwhile our brothers and sisters at Delta just signed off on a 36% improvement on their current contract (and the other majors are not that far off behind). All air carriers in the US that hire E3s have seen wage increases greater than the paltry 3% offered in Australia.
Food for thought considering the jump across the pond...
