You are are new here aren't you? Your ignorance of what's going on stands out like dog bollocks.

Those pilots that went off overseas took jobs at the going rate in that country, they did not under cut the locals to get those jobs. The vast majority of these pilots got the jobs they did because there were not enough locals to do the job. This is not what is going on here.

In the case of Jetstar

1. There are enough appropriately qualified local pilots to fly these aircraft.

2. The wages being paid to the "imports" undercut those paid to locals.

3. The whole thing is being done in an underhand manner to get around the local immigarion rules.

As you mentioned many of us pilots aren't Einstiens and this is not "very special pilot logic"

I trust you have the mental acuity to understand what is actually going on.
