Both Bushy and Chad have very valid points.
I know quite a few Aussie B737 rated guys here in Europe (self included) who have never even heard a peep from
VB. Shortage……maybe, maybe not can anyone at the coal face actually say they have parked aircraft against the fence for the need of additional crew???
A young fella I know was given the ultimatum by the new wife, flying or her, he chose her. After being punted from pillar to post by operators who need the requisite 3 shuttle landings, 10 renewals, rated and current on every type in the fleet blah blah blah that we have seen in days gone past . Why would you want to.
Chad….. sunrise in the cockpit as you pop through the low stratus just past o-dark-thirty is very hard to beat as a career choice.
