Having more 121 time or even 121 PIC doesn't help and may even hinder as you're much more likely be bail in training or first year.

That's why they handed out nearly 100 CJOs to Australians recently at the roadshows, even those without any turbine time or an ATP certificate, as they won't run off to a legacy.
Show your work on the 100 CJOs to Australians

Can’t say 100 but certainly a fair amount walking around the training center. 5-10% depending on the class

I look forward to treating them the same as Aussies treated expats that came and flew in Australia a decade before.

HA! Of the ones that were allowed to go. I was told “it’s our country, mate. GTFO”.

Don’t give these guys any crap. Focus your hatred towards management.

TBF, I do understand why Australian pilots don't like foreign pilots after what happened in 1989.

Sorry 4.3%-10% depending 😜

Also no one from recent hiring spree down in Australia currently in class so be interesting to see how much that ratio changes in upcoming months
