Those are actually two different advertisements:
(1) A220 Training Captains (Melbourne based) @ QantasLink (aka NJS)
(2) A220 Simulator Instructors @ CAE

I suppose it doesn’t specifically say ‘Melbourne’, could be based in Mildura or Wangaratta.

That’s for the QF flying job. The CAE position is a different ground based position.

There's a famous check and trainer moving over from Jetstar to NJS for the 220 training and set up.

Going by descriptions and stories going on in this thread, he's going to make things significantly worse.

Good luck everyone at NJS and Rip.

Perhaps the trick to getting the incidents investigated is declaring MAYDAY instead of PAN?

Well they have 717 bases in Syd and Bne so naturally you’d expect the A220’s to follow them there too

I doubt NJS would employ someone like this given the record breaking morale problem they currently face, but IF what you say is true, the operation will see continued outflow of pilots. As I’ve said, I doubt they would provoke an already angry work force…..what’s left of them.

Initials SP. The Jetstar guys sound extremely pleased to see him go.

That is disappointing. I know a bunch of guys and girls who absolutely gave the new COO (I think that’s him) an earful over their lack of trust in the regime. What is it with upper management employing people who destroy their business?

Nothing will change the morale at NJS and upper management know the majority of the guys and girls left don’t have any self respect and will continue to put up with the degradation in conditions. Jetstar’s most hated (soon to be) ex pilot SP will give POH a run for his money.

You could be right. I am told there are a number of pilots who intend to take the free (unbonded) 220 endorsement and a few hundred hours and fvck off. Not to use the endorsement necessarily but just to use up one of the companies included endo’s prior to going elsewhere. “Army of one” springs to mind.

Grab the Aussie endo, see if you like the plane, then piss off to Breeze for ~$220k AUD base first year captain.. after getting 1000 hours FAA 121 time that is.

This mob must be running out of creative names for ‘management’ positions. Seems to be an ad every week for a new random position.

- A220 Innovation Consultant
- Chief A220 Change Agent
- A220 Development Lead
- Head of A220 Vibrance and Engagement
- A220 Pilot Relations and Improvement Associate
- Head of A220 Outsourcing and Cost Management.
- B717 Ground Handler Reduction Lead
- Pilot Engagement Specialist
- Head of Base Closures
- B717 Catering Reduction and Pilot Meal Manager.

Who is it? If it’s the famous one I’m thinking of, you might end up buried in a National Park 🤔
