To those who think guys wouldn't leave EK for "crap conditions" in Aussie, you are wrong. The guys who will turn up are not the guys who went to EK recently and haven't yet made their fortunes, but the EK old-timers who have had enough of living overseas as expats, and will return to OZ for the lifestyle as they have learned that lifestyle is the only thing that counts.

I know many guys in EK who would happily return downunder to fly a less glam aircraft for less money and poorer conditions, just to get back home.
Direct entry commands on aircraft they already have type ratings on are what would tip the balance for them.
