Draven, there was only 830 Pilots at Ansett. Of these, about 100 went to QF and DJ and the rest either are in GA(not many), overseas or retired from flying. At the last 'census', about 520 AN pilots had found flying jobs somewhere. After AN went down , it took me 9 painful months to find another flying job, and I applied at every turbine operator in Oz and at every company in the world(except Africa and Russia) that operated the aircraft that I was endorsed on at AN(3 jet types). About 180 applications in all.
