Yes fantastic, they have residency and a right to live and work in Australia I assume, that would be their earned right.
Not everyone in Australia aspires to work overseas and many many cannot anyway simply because they are NOT allowed to.
We should look after our own Citizens first no matter what their chosen profession, that's not racism or discrimination in any form at all. If we legitimately cannot fill those positions then yes we can look overseas.
It's not a hard concept to grasp surely, other countries do just that.
I find it very hard to believe there are no suitable Australian Pilots around that would be quite competent flying for QLink, I know a lot of Pilots that would love the job.
