If you're an expat and you are chasing lifestyle consider Bonza. A few guys have returned from the Middle East, HK and alike and taken a punt on them. Some claim that Bonza is the best airline that they have ever worked for. Obviously who knows what it could be like in a few years, but commands are quick, pay rises keep coming, HR is a pleasure to deal with, and it's not a SOP to have one's head up one's own ****.
Imagine landing at OOL after a three-sector day and going for a quick surf at Currumbin on the way home. Unreal.
