Gnadenburg.......I have to agree with you with regards Cairns, I know people who are not keen on returning. Just as HK is not for everyone, nor is Cairns!
Off topic but with regards to your comments on SOs and B scale, it was forced on them in as much as a large chunk of promotions at the time were going to be through the 737.
The 73 captains accepted a pay deal which created the B scale just prior to this. The pay deal increased their lot at the expence of future FOs.

I was wondering the same thing....
can anyone here shed any light on these questions ?
(1) how does the ATO treat australian based people employed by foreign carriers like CX or FJ ?
(2) how does the ATO treat australians employed by foreign carriers like CX or FJ and based in some other port?
can they actually tax you if you are based in another country and employed by a foreign company ?
I remember reading recently that foreign ATM cards used in australia have their numbers recorded and compared against the ATO database to weed out those with undeclared offshore accounts/earnings

Cairns!
I remember. The human aromatics - a cross between Cairo & Calcutta. The unwashed North Queensland masses. All the culture expended in in the Table Land yogurt too.

Granted. But all the more the reason to leave? Are the junior pilots disenchanted with the apathy & look after myself attitude of the senior QF group?
The grapevine suggests QF & VB pilots are lining up for Dragonair, but politely declining invitations to interview in the sandpit.
I think exchange rates and rumoured dicontent in Emirates dulling this option.
Why don't you all just draw a line in the sand in Australia?
