Just announced in the last few days from my sources, qantas cadets from the 2003 course awaiting industry placement have been placed with Jetstar Asia flying A320's out of singapore as first officers with only 250 hours total.
Qantas have decided to implement this halfway through the 2003 cadets course who have been placed on the metro. I would be pissied if i was them, seeing as they did top the course then get a slap in the face. Maybe they are better off though, who knows.
As with previous industry cadets they have had to pay 10000 dollars for their conversion. They go to brisbane or aukland for their sims, then fly as FO on fifty line flights with either Air New Zealand or Brittish Airways.
Then ending up in singapore they stay there for two years with an option of a third if qantas arnt employing and then go in as second officers. But with 4 years seniority, why seccond officer, why not first officer?
Thats just the news, you give the opinions.
