Nice idea on the Job swap, however not really something that can be achieved for various reasons. Would make life easy though!
Australia is fairly limited in the areas of employment in the operations area. The biggest players in Australia are:
1. Qantas (mainline)
2. Ansett Australia (mainline)
3. Virgin Blue (mainline)
4. Kendell (regional)
5. Hazleton (regional)
6. Sunstate (regional)
7. Eastern (regional)
8. Southern (regional)
9. Airlink (regional)
10. Air North (regional)
11. ****** (regional)
Qantas and Ansett are very hard to get into as people make their careers from these airlines and the turnover is very small. The other issue is that they tend to employ internally rather than going to the marketplace.
The best options are actually Virgin Blue and National Jet who run the operations for Airlink (QF regional).
Virgin Blue (Brisbane) have been recruiting for some time now and are paying about AUD$50 k. National Jet (Adelaide)pay around AUD$40 k plus overtime. Both Brisbane and Adelaide are great places to live.
The work is good and the turnover reasonably high. If you want contact details for the relevant people at National Jet or Virgin, let me know.
Good luck
