I honestly haven’t seen this “mass exodus” but more of a “mass hiring”.

Mass hiring or mass exodus is irrelevant.

The issue for all Australian Pilots is this GA Company’s Pilots are operating on an expired EA and their pay and conditions are rapidly falling below the Award. What’s being done about it?!

Hit the nail on the head. Anyone choosing to live in HK after the last 3 years is lacking some critical thinking skills…

A high percentage of WA based pilots have little or no experience outside of the state. Some would need to practice their bed wetting skills before venturing beyond the 129th meridian.

Mass exodus. I call bulldust.

Apparently some discontent with a number of pilots on the mainline hold file but NAA management unwilling to release them, or only release them very slowly.

So the same as every other entity?

Yeah because flying an ILS into Cairns, Sydney or Melbourne is really tough.

Go and get a trade and then tell us how hard being a pilot really is.

So what happens when you get East of 129?

Do the laws of physics change? Perhaps SIDS and STARs are much more challenging?

Please educate us.

Or the sun setting in the wrong place. It's just too confusing.

Perhaps Daylight saving?

Every company I have worked for has had gunna's-going back to PNG, mate wants me to do check and training for his company, CASA want's me as an FOI, or the old I have been offered a gig setting up a new corporate jet operation.

The biggest whingers in any organiasation, tend to have their tongue planted between the bosses arse cheeks.

For a start 31° 25' 0.00" S 116° 17' 36.00" E is one place they can't seem to cross on time.

Why? I've been here everyday for the past 3 years. My boss (stupidly) kept paying us a decent salary. If I chose to return to Oz, I would be working more, for less money, paying more tax and going straight to the bottom of some a$$hat seniority list.

Can you please point out the floors in my critical thinking skills so I don't make the same mistake again?

I’m not sure what’s wrong with the floors in your apartment there in Hong Kong, apart from the fact that you’ve probably spent a long time staring at it (and the ceiling) over the last 3 years as you do your mandatory quarantine after every trip.

I know a few guys who have just left HK, some after 20+ years. They didn’t have anything nice to say about the place when they left compared to the place pre about 2018.

For some people who have had an overseas adventure, a cruisy stable job in a seniority based airline sounds like a pretty nice way to see out the last 10-20 years of their career.

They won’t ever understand that SIDS. Narrow minded people willing to sit in the RHS for 20yrs and think that Oz is the best place in the World will always have an excuse. I’ll continue to take a flat tax rate and better pay than prostitute myself down there.

In general ActiveLurker is right…there were adventures to he had abroad, and once upon a time great pay and COS. CX has fallen a long way from the ‘A’ scale, EK and the others have demonstrated the complete disregard they have for seniority, loyalty, utility. Not so much anymore the swanning around in a linen suit at the Jockey Club on six days off.

As far as high tax goes…it is vexing indeed, but name me one english speaking non-****hole that doesn’t have high tax.

Different horses for courses. I'd rather **** in my hands and clap than live in the used needle bin of Asia where you've been locked up by tyrants for the last 2 years. I'm quite enjoying prostituting myself in the RHS after spending the better half of a decade in the left seat of a wide-body flying freight to your dumpster fire of a city. Sure, I had some good nights out at Dusk 'till Dawn etc, but those days are gone. I'll happily be taxed up the wazoo if it means I can enjoy my modest 645m2 of paradise (that's south-east QLD for the record ) most nights of the year with my family. I could give less than the proverbial about which seat I'm sitting in.
