I was in Kununurra a few weeks ago. The reality is that you really have to be there by the end of Feb, or not at all. I guess there is a small chance that something might come up during the year (perhaps if the industry starts to move a bit), but it's a tough call to make.
I think all that Maus is saying is it's going to be pretty tough there...and in a month there are going to be a lot of disapointed & unemployed pilots.
I also think they take a lot of consideration as to who was up there the earliest. So the people who were up there Nov/Dec/Jan have already got an advantage over anyone planning to go up. But yea...if you think it's better than sitting on your bum on the East Coast, then definitely go for it
