Wasn’t too long ago expat pilots were getting harassed by Aussies when they were applying to Rex down in Australia, so expect the same.

What the heck are you guys talking about?
Melbourne Rocks!
We even had a DC-9 base in KMLB 25 years ago. Had to stop in KMYR for gas half the time in the winter but it went very senior. All the captains were check airmen. Something about cheap golf courses, and if you were a single lonely guy, they had these neat clubs where you could dance with the local girls for $5 bucks. Just like WWII England. A little smokey but a giant stress reliever if you were in training.
No Kangaroos, but a lot of Harley's, they did have something called "Chicken-Heads", which walked a lot like an Ostrich on A1A that I heard from the other FO's would even dance in your rental car! Their was even a special venturi "smoking" switch that was demonstrated by the check airmen with cigars and cigarettes to demonstrate "Cockpit Smoke" emergencies.
I hope that Franke guy or that heavy set JetBlue guy realizes the lost value of that goldmine and restarts service.
As the young people say "Haters Gonna Hate" I guess.
