Interesting that a decade or so ago people went o/s when they didn't want to or couldn't crack the Aussie airlines. These days the Aussie airlines are what gets you the experience to cracking into the o/s airlines.

The grass isn't greener on the other side of the fence, the grass is greener where you water it. It seems too few people are prepared to water the Aussie grass these days.
