So all the angst aside how many pilots have J* actually employed on 457 visas and is the pilot scene different now to last year when they applied for said visas?
My information is that the situation has changed dramatically post EBA 4 and they now have what they didn't have before...experienced expat ozzies applying to come home in sufficient numbers to obviate the need for 457 visas.
So have they actually hired 1, 5, 10, 75?
Or is this a storm in a tea cup?
