Keep going.
oh yeah i was only joking of course jetstar Singapore etc set the pilot salaries
based entirely on arbitrary figures. nothing to do with how much Singaporean pilots are willing to work for
those damn Australians exploiting those poor Asians by paying them twice the average wage and giving them the option of working for them or not working for them

see i am being as patronising to you as you are to Asian pilots (those poor uneducated sods cant think for themselves lost souls. cant even decide for themselves whether the wage they are offered is enough remuneration for them they need lentern to do it for them)

doctors/surgeons are overrated fucks

plumbers and janitors and sanitation engineers prevent far more deaths than those losers

You imply employmer/employee negotiations are a level playing field in some sense.

yeah we have huge shortages though and racism keeps a lot of them out
we had a few apply for my bosses job and they were pretty highly qualified too
none got an offer
How would you like if if your boss was able to offshore your job to the Philippines for only 15K a year?

I'd be asking why they'd be able to do my job for only 15K a year tbh.

I am working towards my pilots license and I can pretty much fly a single engine cessna better than I can drive around Sydney city.
fuck driving around sydney city it is the worst

flying a plane cant be any worse and certainly any more dangerous

you imply that is isnt

poor downtrodden asians cant even do their own collective bargaining (inferior asian genes y/n)

condescending

my job cant be sent offshore so the correct analogy would be how would i like it if my boss was able to give my job to an indian/asian migrant for minimum wage

and the answer is i would be in a different career path if he could, but engineering is in extreme demand so he has to pay us all well to attract decent employees

amazing how this whole system works

I don't understand why it can't be offshored though? Unless it requires your physical presence that is.

Isn't there a lot of smart Chinese and Indian engineers though who would be happy to work in Australia?

maybe we should set up an 'asian protection board' to protect these poor urchins from exploitation

like we did with the natives!

yes it requires a physical presence

in a perfect(the future) world i could potentially be sent offshore. further integration of survey systems, gps, satellite imaging and CAD/design programs could mean that all engineering decisions could be made remotely, but we are a long way off yet

Why can't it be sent to India or China (via the WWW Internet) currently though?
