Gents,

I'm one of those displaced Aussies that would love to return home from overseas. I've got about 6000TT, 3000 Jet and 500 P1 Jet. My CASA ATPL is up to date as far as the Class 1 and IR renewal are concerned and I've yet to get a nibble from anyone other than NJS.

If I was in my 20's and didn't mind being poor again, I'd have given NJS a go but I can't justify going backwards in terms of pay. $62k is simply not enough for a right seat, jet job.

I'm amazed that Australian pilots have been as quiet as they have about the Yarpies heading over to work for QF Link and Jetstar. It's a very slippery slope and will have serious repercussions for years to come.
