It also doesn’t help when the other premier carrier has a list as long as Santa’s of pilots they need to recall first.

If you meet the minimums (I don't) and don't have comittments in Australia you'd be stupid not to apply. 320 f/o with command in like 5 years.
Also random question: Is there anything that could stop the cargo carriers from offering positions that enable pilots to live in Australia by offering lines commencing in Australia or Asia?

This Ravn ad appeared at the top of the stack today. Reading between the lines, it's aimed at E3 candidates who've been flying in a US Part 121 operation for the magical 1,000 hours that allow a captain spot. So, "...air carrier experience..." must be Part 121 ?
"...2500 hours in a fixed wing aircraft, of which 1000 hours will be multi-engine turbine flight time, and 1000 hours total flight time will be air carrier experience..."

Although, you will find DEC into these jobs that are below acceptable conditions.... that is the point.
How long does it take to command in a jet in Australia/USA?
What is the per hour rate at Qantas, Virgin, Spirit, AA, UAL, Delta, what's your min guarantee?
What do your reserve/rostering rules look like? Can you swap trips? What are the rules surrounding roster building?
What does your super/401k look like after 10/20/30 years? Can you retire at 50/55/60 in Aus v USA?
What did the top FedEx/UPS Captain/FO earn last year, 2 years ago, 5 years ago?
Can you commute? Is your commuting company supported? Do you have KCM in Aus?
What does your seat lock look like? What are the rules surrounding seniority and seat lock look like?
And more importantly, do you own your RV6/7/8/9/10/14 prior to retirement?

US 10 year Regional Captain at PSA (one that is taking Aussies according to previous posts) on about $140k AUD. Some bonuses but the biggest ones are if flow through to AA.
Mainline Oz? Well dependent on carrier and fleet but with 10 years service you’d be making more than that.

a 737 VA as a 10 even 15 +yr FO does not have that high a base -Prior to Bain yes, circa base $157K year 3 FO. Let alone makeup the last 2 years of lost income. Weren't US pilots paid continuously during Covid.
$130,065 VA 55 hrs MCG - $175.50 hr productivity

What does your seniority do for you in reverse? Last I heard A380 capt was the most senior position in Aus, yet they got booted out first when the **** hit the fan...

I used to chuckle when Aussies would bang on about how well paid they were compared to Americans. My reply “well you need to be because you couldn’t afford to live here, otherwise” generally jammed a cog in their heads.
