The better wide-body jobs mentioned are out there. AF,LH,BA and the US majors, maybe QF,CX and SQ as well for some. But you only come to work here because you can't work there. The Gulf airlines are big players now but they are only ever going to get the overflow from the real airlines. Although there has been a slight but steady trickle from BA to this area.
We do the same job but without representation. For better or worse but mostly worse.
