Yeah but good luck being able to return to Australia when you want to. That time will come when personal or family issues make a return to Australia necessary and it just sucks when no one is interested in employing you. It's seems as if they think your overseas achievements are BS.
EY,
Several airlines here are interviewing right now. I very much doubt they wouldn't take your application & experience seriously. I'm sure QF would love to have an experienced S/O on the deck.
