I think it says in the PPM that you must have written permission from Ansett if you want to fly elswhere. I don't have it with me at the moment but I recollect it from somewhere. You can't really blame blokes for going elsewhere under the current conditions but we were told to get permission if we wanted to fly elsewhere after the administrators moved in. It isn't hard to get as long as it's not for Qantas or Virgin. They're resign jobs. At the moment there are about fifty AN pilots scattered around the world on leave of absence flying for other operators. Maybe they are the lucky ones?
