I agree, seeing as WA-based guys with families or commitments here are far more likely to STAY, XR are being very bloody smart about it. I know three or four guys who fly for them, most with families so of course they are happy to be based here.
RENURPP, I was not trying to say that all their ports are glamorous, just giving the orginal poster an idea of what s/he will be flying to should they get a job there. Yes some of the places are boring, then again you sound like you've never been up to Shark Bay or Exmouth for a holiday - really lovely nature spots. WHo cares if there's no night life, there's more to trips than that...
COnsidering that you could be o/n at Meekatharra or Argyle, I think I'd pick Exmouth or Darwin/Bali any day!!
