Oh yeh you'd have to be a real sucker to take a significant pay-rise from being an F/O here to a skipper in Singapore, paying much less tax, enjoying your days off anywhere on the Tiger network for cheap (beaches in Phuket, markets in Bangkok, Vietnam, China, India) getting some International flying experience and breaking the monotony of flying Sydney and Gold Coast runs day in, day out...
Pilot's who have taken commands in Adelaide have not had problems getting back to Melbourne when space has become available and have always had precedence over someone new being employed.
Might not be everyone's idea of a good experience but i don't know why you would have to be a "Sucker" to take up the offer!
