A minor spanner in your works, perhaps: you Antipodean types may not yet be aware but there is every possibility that by the time you would like to come, His Royal Highness, Field Marshal Lord Antony B Liar, President of this beknighted island, will have introduced a points-based qualifying system for immigration. Just like you buggers already have, in fact. I doubt a pilot would qualify.
Now, I'm not in the 'pinching our jobs' school, but it ought to be an equitable arrangement: either there should be a free flow of people in both directions around the Commonwealth and former dependencies, or it should be evenly regulated for all. Can't have it both ways, my old Kiwi.
