I am not doubting you one little bit, but whats the next step I was referring to?
Fire many staff Australian at a base you keep open, they move on, and feel hard feelings.
Another base is shut down, staff kind of expected to move if they want a job. They know what happened to the last staff at the open base.
People annoyed all round, Boeing can't fill positions from a limited talented Australian. Next step 457 crowd. It is a great opportunity for many in this crowd, it's no wonder why they come, but, if they question working conditions, they also get fired and , well, visa invalid and next plane out of the country.
