I left Australia after the late 80's debacle and lowering of conditions. I would never come back there and accept the conditions J star offer and have serious doubts as to whether I will even retire there now.
Its a shame as it is a great place, but find it now hard to come to terms how you let it lower to the the level it has!!!! I'm sorry to say, but you have some amount of responsibility for what has happened over the past 20+ years.
Don't blame returning expats, although I do agree with seniority, but harden up and fight for the conditions you should be getting. Don't go buying ratings and flying for peanuts. I love this saying....."Harden up princess"
DO NOT blame us "expats" for your conditions, you guys did it!!
Now time to stand behind our QF (longhaul) friends, they are doing a great job
