For what it's worth I think Cathay, Emirates, etc. would be a better fit for Aussies than Atlas. I also think we're better served by hiring American ATPs than recruiting foreign crew. That said we fly to Sydney and have schedules that allow for regular travel to and from Australia to take care of family. That would be a very hard thing to pull off at Spirit or Frontier. I also misread the OP's post and thought he was talking about an ALPA-led drive to limit total E3s. Oops.
