I didn't know very much about Rex's pay scale/work rules, they were just the only ones that I saw that were recruiting here. Majors are slowly ramping up hiring here, but the industry has been so stagnant there are thousands of guys with thousands and thousands of PIC hours that are all going to get hired first. The short answer basically is my dream has always been to live and fly in Australia, I like it a lot better down there. In terms of money, I'm not sure about that. Regional first officers here start off at roughly $25,000/year and I'd say regional captain pay usually tops out at say $85,000/year. The cost of living in Australia, for argument's sake, is about twice as expensive as it is here. FOs there, from my understanding, make a lot more than A$50,000.
