Well our legacy carrier hasn't recruited since 2008, and it takes on average 8.5 years to become an FO just on a 737. The tax rate is near enough to 46%, the country is broke because of the last wits running the country, the average rent in Sydney for a 2 bed unfurnished joint is $600/week, property prices are skyrocketing because of investors overseas, so I'll never be able to own a place here because an actual house costs an average of $1.1million, school fees are $4000 aud/term and some of you have the audacity to sit there and say we're not good enough to make the grade where we come from, so we 'settle' for EK?
