Residing in Adelaide.....flying for major airlines
Hi guys,
I was just wondering- is it possible to reside in Adelaide, and still fly for the major airlines (ie Qantas, Virgin Blue, Tiger, Jetstar)? If I were wanting to reside in Adelaide, which of these airlines would I have to target? Would I have to fly long haul, short haul, or either?
As well as this, are pilots able to choose whether they prefer to fly long haul or short haul?
Thanks!

Hahaha........ I just like the city!!!!
Do jetstar really have a pilot base in ADL? Can anyone confirm this? From what I have read, Jetstar only have pilot bases in Melbourne and Brisbane.
As well as that, does anyone know of any pilots that base themselves in Adelaide and fly for Virgin?
Thanks guys for your help

If people live in the blue mountains and communte, then I don't think ADL would be a problem.
But I have to agree.... Why Adelaide?!? I lived there for 5 years. (about 60 months too long if you ask me!) Hehe

I hope there is plenty of work in Adelaide as I want to be based there too. All you guys that live on the East Coast can stay there. Lived in Syd, Melb and currently in Bris. None of them compare to Adelaide!

I agree kids I love Adelaide!! In Melb temporarily and it sucks @rse. But realistically even with staff travel (and then it is a roll of the dice whether you will get on sometimes) you'll be looking at $150 ADL-SYD per trip return. Whats that gonna be, between $300-$600 a month if you do 2-4 trips a month?? Considering alot of us are paying off flying debts, thats a fair chunk that could go to better use. Its what I'm planning to do too in the long run, but not sure if it is doable?
I could be totally wrong here, just off the top of my head.

Last I was in Sydney I found Pale Ale AND Famer's Union Iced Coffee. I'm now packing my bags as these were the last two things stopping me getting outta here.
But seriously. Adelaide is a great place to live ... to raise kids and die.

ADL lovely town, if yr a God botherer & yr into rtooting like rabbits like 'tinpis' said(lucky buggers) But being a pilot & combining the above is asking for trouble. Pilots have enough hassles with multiple wives/divorces never lone worrying about whether God is watching !
