Thanks Effee
I assume that as the Oz version of Tiger will be based in Melbourne then the staff would have to at least have resident status. If they are paying a lobbist in Canberra they may have some ability to assist foreign pilots in getting that status. The big issue then would be maintaining standards under CASA supervision. I'm sure that Qantas and Virgin would be lobbying CASA to ensure that no short cuts are taken (you know what I mean - Jetstar getting 180mins ETOPS without the usual processes)
