I courted with Ansett back in 89 when they tried recruiting in UK. The money they offered then was similar to UK salary and they claimed that I would have a higher standard of living in Sydney or Melbourne. It was all a bit acedemic in the end as I failed the Licence exam. They offered me a mech's job, but Mrs Growler was none too keen.
I have since obtained CASA licence with 757, 737, 767 and A320 type ratings. I would love to go there, but now with 3 kids in tow I would have an even harder job convincing Mrs G. I would like to keep updated on developments though LAME just in case.
Reasons for :
climate
good place to bring up kids??
quality of life (if the soaps are to be believed!!)
