Wiz, my point is not the adequacy or otherwise of the JQ Terms and Conditions. My point is the fact that you CAN work in other countries.
If all nations adopted a similar approach to that suggested here then you and most Australian pilots working overseas would simply be UNEMPLOYED.
This is not a simple argument, there are numerous issues here including:
DEC's in Jetstar
Availability of suitably qualified local pilots
Jetstar Terms and Conditions, and
Government Decisions to grant s457 visas.
I am speaking in relation to only the last point.
