Well technically they are available should an Aussie citizen go down the green card / FAA route. A former colleague of made the financial investment via a lawyer and now has the green card. Took him about 12 months and < 20K USD. He previously had the FAA but no former employment or family ties in the US. He made the investment as others who had recently done the same were successfully recruited by US majors. Well played I’d say, taking advantage of the window of opportunity that’s currently open in the US, given time to command at a major is < 2 years…(have another mate who joined Delta 18 months ago as an A220 FO and now is on a 757/767 command course.) Couldn’t the hundreds of Aussies who went to Atlas potentially do the same?
