Qantas Bases ?
Hi, silly question from across the ditch, but what cities are available as permanent bases in Australia?
Specifically is Perth available (and/or desireable so what would be chances of getting a base there as new s/o?)
I have been searching but can't find out and as I am on Dial-up it takes forever to search sites so please don't flame me for asking.
Thanks

All SO's are based in SYD, as I understand it, but commuting is not a problem for most of 'em.
I had a mate who was living in PH as a 744 SO and later as a 767 FO, and seemed to manage it OK.
Standby is a bit of a bugger though - you gotta sign-on within 2 hours so that means sitting in SYD a lot

Yup, sydney only for s/o's, but with the longhaul flying commuting is a piece of cake, as long as you're not right on the bottom. Perth is now available for f/o's and capt on the 737, and slots are going quite junior too at the moment...

Thanks for the replies people, much appreciated.
EP, best laugh I have had all day. I was thinking about it till my hot water cylinder blew up 2 weeks ago ($1500) and 2 nights ago my wife backed the ute into our other car (sigh...) so there goes BBand for another year...
Cheers
