I agree with some of the posts above, there seems to be no rhyme nor reason when it comes to who gets interviews/check flights/time of day from the companies up here. Broome is still hollywood for pilots, the taxi driver, check out operator, bouncer etc. that you meet every day are all probably wannabe pilots.
There was certainly more people up here earlier in the year than there is now but I'm sure there will be a new influx soon and when it is damn near impossible to see at least 3 of the chief pilots I'm sure there will be plenty of disappointment too.
