Whilst i agree with PoppaJo there are many unhappy drivers overseas it seems there is still a reluctance to 'reintroduce' them back into oz by the major operators. I know of a few that got the nod from overseas but i know of many more good operators and good people who didn't even get close whilst others with very minimal experience did. I think that whilst over the past couple of decades the whole shortage thing has been largely B.S the baby boomer apocalypse might be coming within the next 5 years. There are many at QF alone who plan on going early and don't seem to have any intention of alerting the company to this fact.
