Jetstar Flight Department has just been approved to hire some 80 pilots starting straight away.
New hires will be for either J* Int or J* mini.
Growth will be vertical over the next 5 years and it is said that ANY FO in the company now will have a command within the next 12 to 24 months.
No agreement has yet been signed re a pay deal for J* Int so any $ amount you see quoted as of now is purely speculation.
Jetstar over the last 12 months has hired about 90 pilots and this trend looks like continueing well into the medium term.
