Well Steve, you created a storm with this one....
However, it is unlikely Northern Hemisphere RW pilots do understand the hardship we all have to go through Down Under. Yes what Steve has said is true about what we have to do to get a job either in Oz or NZ. But it is also a path we have chosen for ourselves, without any pressures from others. So Steve, if this ex Mil chap gets in, well it is a free world, and only his employer will be the one missing out on a better or dedicated pilot in the long run.
Keep your chin up, only you know what you're worth and what we can achieve Down Under with cheer determination and devotion.
