Anybody considering Jetconnect take note of statement from Alan Joyce quoted in the Australian.
"Our Christchurch operations are really going very, very well and domestic New Zealand and extra flying across the Tasman fall into a category we would want to look at as well."
The Qantas group will take your money for a B737 type rating and as they proved with the introduction of the A320 across the Tasman you will not automatically move across to Jetstar just because they take your flying and your money for the B737 type rating. If they do grant you an interview you will have to jump through all their hoops and for the minority that may be successfull you will have to pay for an A320 type rating.
