I guess it depends on your individual circumstances. If you are young single and flying props it could work well. I wouldn't assume that because you are beneath VARA and possibly Tiger that you will have to wait for every pilot on that list to move on to get a slot on what you want. Half the VARA list is in Perth and most of those guys aren't interested in east coast bases. Some of the VANZ guys want to live in NZ. Some Virgin FO's won't want to go across to Tiger should the opportunity arise. Anyway I say, take what you can get. Good luck with it.
