What a fantastic opportunity and kudos to those who have a crack.

If you have the hours and are happy to leave Oz, what a great opportunity.

So you get -
Airfares covered for relocation
ATPL paid for
Type rating paid for
Wage while all of that happens
Sign on bonus depending on which airline and how long you commit
NO BOND
Decent wage and fantastic flying with a real opportunity to updgrade in a decent time.

Or

Stay in Aussie GA, pay for the next rating, or be lucky and get a nice gig with it all paid for. Will your ATPL be paid for, the next type rating paid for salary sacrifice or bond?

Negatives I'm sure there are many including -
Return to Oz join the QF, JQ or V and to the bottom of the seniority pile you go, not to mention you will probably have to do the Aussie ATPL written exams ��.

So many pro's and con's one must weigh up personally how it works for you.

Don't forget after doing this you could enter the contact world of China where the serious money is, certainly not for everyone though.

Good luck and fook the Aussie tall poppy wanka syndrome for giving it to those that have a crack!

Alas it only works if you have a sense of adventure and WANT to leave Oz!
