Jetstar has advertised a base freeze in Darwin for 3 years for captains.
The 3 years starts from check to line. Rumor has it that training for these positions will not start until the end of 2012, therefore pilots that take these positions will be unable to leave or bid on other positions until 2016 or possibly 2017 (depending on when the next allocation is advertised after the freeze is concluded)
Good luck to anyone taking these BS positions!!
