Hey Gentlmens,
lets stop arguying about why to come back and what for?

I am a qualified A320 skipper with 1000 + hours a s PIC and 2500 + time on A320.
Get me a job on A320 and I will be the first one to come back home.

I have applied so many times through PilotstaffCV but no joy.

Yeah, I don,t wanna live in the sandpit but I have got a family to feed.
I am living here cause I am earning good enough money to support my family.

You fi nd me a respectable job and I will come back tomorrow.

looking forward to hear soon from any one?

happy Landings:ok:

c560xl...........you need to contact the AFAP. The real purpose of this thread.

HOT TUNA:.........go back and read my posts again, now explain what part was wrong? Double standards? Not even close pal.

.... and of course everyone is going back and joins as FO at the end of the queue ....

No?? It will be as DECs?
Not that i would blame them myself, but some of them will have been endlessly complaining about DECs in the middle east and suddenly it's ok, mainly when the fourth stripe replaces the chip on the shoulder.
How's that for a double standard, but i think down under the water spins the other way around.

It's your head spinning up your rear.

Well the Rabbit thinks waiting for things to improve in Aus may take many years. Not wanting to waste the best years of my life in the Dessert im going for it and the wage from my calculations is not much less than EK after tax.
Best to go now because next year the rest of you may finally wake up to yourselves and there will not be enough jobs for all of us............

Your finally making sense Rabbit whos the contact at Jetstar............

Cheers

Hi ya Brett la!! unless you are really unhappy at EY , stay where you are... there is a perfect storm brewing and Ozz Aviation is not going to be pretty in the long run!!

Just my 2 bits worth ... and VOz wanted to offer me the same real salary I was on 9 years ago as a 146 F/O with AN to be in the LHS of a B777 now... hmmm just seems wrong but then depends how much ya wanna go home..

Hows the pistol shooting going!!

Sounds like lifstyle in Aus will be way better than the sandpit although the job not quite as good. We seem to spend more time at home than at work so it makes sense to go for lifestyle. Unless the EK boys spend more time at work than in the pathetic city of Dubai.............

Got the yes, so long suckers....................

Woodja!! Howzit

Just wanted to see for myself what the Jetstar numbers are, always good to keep an ear to the ground! :}

Pretty surprised to hear what VOz put on the table for you, but then as you say, depends how much you want to go home..Tis a personal call as to what value one puts on getting out of our lovely part of the world!! :ugh::ugh:

I see our man rabbitwear is pulling the pin - good luck to ya :ok:

Sounds like Rabbitwear will fit right in at Jetstar! They deserve each other.
Six months of being treated as one of their pilots and I'd bet he'll be back on the net posting his cv out to all.
However anyone who has done their time hard as an expat deserves to at least re-learn why they left in the first place. Good luck to those who need the change.
I too am leaving the sand pit but rightly or wrongly still have to much pride in my profession to beggar ( or should it be bugger?) myself for what they and Voz offer.
The guy who wrote that pride is a sin would probably have made an excellent airline executive in OZ! Be meek and humble and accepting of the wisdom and judgement of your new masters, you would have at least learnt that from being over here.
