...And in that, you'd be 100% wrong. There are pilots from all over the world working in Ausrtralia.

Where you are misled is in the idea that the only entry position in Aviation is Airline Jet FO. In places like Australia, thousands of pilots are paying their dues flying piston singles and light-twins in the outback, hoping to one day to fly as a jet FO- a position usually only gained after years sweating it out in GA.

Of course, in Turkey, the entitled youth expect a red-carpet as they enter their Airbus with a whole 300hrs under their belt, and resent it when truley experienced pilots are given their due.
