remember that 90% of the arriving SA pilots will be aiming for PR and citizenship so provided that they can subsidise their salary for a few years they will eventually be laughing and in direct competition with all other Australians.
And in doing so, continue to depress the T&C's in this industry for themselves and citizens below the poverty level. I sure when their done with SA, it will be the Philippines, Vietnam & other poor or desperate countries. In other words, these companies are in fact selling CITIZENSHIP to the desperate.
Can you understand why citizens have a problem with this? If there were no citizens that could do the job, fair enough, but there are. This is not about aviation, but about citizenship. At least we are close to the truth.
