Geeeez give our mates across the ditch a break would ya!
They have a different aviation industry over there, not as many remote towns, and not as far between them. A much lower average wage across all industries, not just aviation. I have flown quite a bit with kiwi crew and they are, much like Ausi's, mostly good blokes with the odd tosser thrown in.
There are more Ausi's flying around there now than ever before and more Ausi jet operators there than Kiwi ones. How often do you hear the Kiwis crying about that? I never have.
One thing that irks me here in Aus is how much time we dedicate to talking/moaning about terms and conditions.We're at risk of surpassing the poms in the whinging stakes I reckon.
Framer....out.
