Will This Stir Up The Pot Down There ?
This may interest a few Canadians from Porter and WestJet or some SpiceJet peeps in India. I can't see a flood of people coming.
I do like the lie in the ad about 45yo being the age limit for the visa. Glad it's an honest agency doing the job!

I mentioned Rex earlier, but for those with Dash 8 experience why not QLink, they are struggling for crew as well. QF group benefits and similar income to what I described for Rex. I mean to be competitive with both those regionals you will need to add at least another $20k and some CPI adjustments. So while it sounds ok, its just not up to speed with what others are already offering as well as confining you to Perth. Nothing against whoever is offering this, but hey, its a different world for crew now.
The point is that this is targeting countries that don’t have the same living conditions as Straya.
The money might not be the best but the perceived QAL is.
You and I know that living on this amount in Straya does not equal QAL, however someone from places with civil unrest etc this would be the light at the end of the tunnel.
I hope I’m wrong but I reckon there will be a steady stream of applicants.
At least in the US of A it’s the same money as locals (ok you could argue locals could take the job here). From what I see the US of A operators are not using E3’s to drive wages down overall, it is a genuine shortage of qualified pilots.
This visa looks like a direct attempt by companies to keep wages down and drive them lower, shame, shame shame…..

ps. I have no connection with the agency or employer. I think its safe to say most would only need two guesses as to who the operator is.

Qwark,
The agency ad said the visa is limited to age 45. It didn't say anything about residency. Here is a quote from a lawyer page.
There are age limits for most of the other Skilled visa, including the following:

Is there such a thing Down There ?

Pretty sure you just get a CASA medical, apply for recognition of your licence and the entry to the companies cyclic training program simexs and IPC will cover any conversion requirements. That is for relatively normal conversions from UK/JAA or FAA, if you have a Nigerian licence or ex Congolese airforce who knows, best to ask CASA about that. It's probably a lot harder outside of a commercial operation.
I know of at least 2 regional airlines who have recently hired experienced foreign nationals and they weren’t kiwis without too many problems, both on jets and turboprops.
All the pilots come with experience on the respective types.
I personally think it’s good 😊

I did miss the before tax statement in the advertisement/reference. It does quote monthly.
VA flight crew received a 17% pay cut. On minimum hours I was taking home $5200 per fortnight or $10,400 per month, hence my original post.
Thank you for your insightful post and word count.
