What makes OZ so complicated is all self inflicted such as terrible airspace design, a set of rules developed in isolation to the rest of the world and terrible ATC and Infrastructure. Daily flying in Europe is infinitely more complicated than OZ.
All this talk about here is harder than there is just rubbish.
I have flown in Aus / Europe / Africa and it’s all the bloody same - some is complex, some is painful, none of it is “hard”.
You’re a pilot - deal with it FFS. Stop the size competition.
Cadets are no more dangerous than non cadets - depends entirely on the individual. Not all hours are equal. Get over yourselves.
