Clown, nice and apt name btw..

Maybe well qualified pilots aren't that desired in the Australian market right now (absolutely remarkable considering Australia wearing its safety record like a scouts badge), but around the world they would be gobbled up.

Sure the s/o's lack window seat time, but over the next few years the landslide of retirements is going to happen at long last and from the other end the lack of experienced pilots around the world is going to force all real airlines to look hard at how they are going to get their new pilots.

I'm not saying there will be huge payrises etc as there will always be commercial reality but as for 500-1000 odd ex qf guys looking for a job...well I know a couple of middle eastern airlines that would take them all in a flash...maybe even on basings (QR).

So, there you go clown, some facts for you. More constructive than the rubbish you came up with.
