utter cock
Aussies are ONLY WORKING OS BECAUSE LOCALS CANNOT DO THE JOB.
I cannot just walkin and get a job in England or the US, why? because they DON'T NEED me.
I can walk into India or other parts of Australasia, why? because they NEED me.
DEMAND EXCEEDS SUPPLY. ( of locally trained crew )
let me say that again for those hard or hearing
DEMAND EXCEEDS SUPPLY.
Simple
This is NOT the case in Australia.
Any Aussie working in England or the US probably had the required Visa before he went ( family connections or born there )
What I'm objecting to is giving 457 Visa's to Pilots so they can come to Australia and work under a perceived shortage.
Anyone who already has the right to work in Australia is very welcome, I don't care where they're from.
So lets stop the utter rubbish said above right here and right now.
In my case if CX managed to find enough locals that could fly ALL EXPATS would be out the door quicker than you could say "wai"
And that's the same with SQ, KE, EK, etc etc etc.
