As far as I can ascertain -
there ain't no pilot shortage in Oz. Am I missing something here?? Rex go overseas to recruit ?? All the while there is an abundance of well qualified Aussies (and Kiwis) here and abroad who can't get a peep.
What in the world is happening here - is there still an old Ansett blacklist or what ???
Regionals (and majors) appear to `throw out muddy water when the creek is dry'.
No wonder Ozzies nick off o/s , they go somewhere else where they are wanted and who could blame them.
Maybe there is such a thing as overqualified, who knows... and it appears that anyone over 40, smell of death - dead men walking, sorry, they have a foot in the grave and God forbid a Regional would hire them, yet they would most probably turn out to be the most dependable, reliable and loyal employee an airline could hire (irrespective of their experience).
Can anybody educate me on this madness..?? I hope the airline boffins read these threads and explain why this nonsense is occurring.
