Game Over 457 scam?
Moderator
So US tech companies are complaining of a skills shortage and say Trumps immigration reforms will stifle the tech industry in the USA. On the other hand we take "skilled" US citizens on 457 visas to work in the tech industry in Australia?
Britain is also claiming a IT skills shortage yet we manage to poach them too?

Stop mentioning the Chinese massage parlors will you!? They're much cheaper than another marriage, another divorce settlement, and another house I bought in the northern suburbs I'm not allowed within 200 meters of

Quoting the Boeing Aircraft Company:
“As global economies expand and airlines take delivery of tens of thousands of new commercial jetliners over the next 20 years, there is extraordinary demand for people to fly and maintain these airplanes. To meet this tremendous growth, the 2016 Boeing Pilot and Technician Outlook forecasts that between now and 2035, the aviation industry will need to supply more than two million new aviation personnel—617,000 commercial airline pilots, 679,000 maintenance technicians, and 814,000 cabin crew”
Where are the Australian aviation industry training programs to produce the personnel necessary to fill these positions?
Both here and to compete within the Global Economy?

What is the real impact of the 457 visa in the aviation industry in Australia? If the trend of getting rid of expats expands and many Aussies have to return home, there will be any room for them? That wouldn't create a bigger hurdle for those wanting to climb the ladder?

Who is getting rid of expats other than India? There would be less than 20 Aussie Capts in India anyway.
Emirates, Qatar, Korean and a host of other airlines are hiring expats like crazy. If you already have jet time of course.

Apparently Vietnam Airlines as well. And the Americans First policy might have the same effects in the future.
Lead story on news.com.au right now is about a very gifted IT guy who worked in the US on big projects but can't seem to get a job at home. He's young, super qualified but seems to be left out because Australian tech companies want "3 years experience" for whatever it is they are hiring for.
Just another example of stingy Australian employers unwilling to train people.
