Good for you KYBO.....the positive signals are now loud and clear, and I feel sure that you will emerge from this fiasco a winner.
Don't know if you are interested in moving offshore, however as daunting as it may seem right now, opportunities will emerge and you will never look back. Having been in your position some 12 years ago and subsequently spending a decade O/S, the positives are enormous, not just for you but for your family as well....in fact I often wish I had done it years earlier.
From what you said in your last post, you will find you are welcome anywhere. (see Betelgeuse's post in the "Virgin Blue are etc.." thread)
Stay positive and good luck for the future.
