I don't think you understand. These gals and gals are being paid similar money plus or minus, (sometimes they have been ahead and sometimes behind) to other flight crew employed/based in New Zealand flying similar equipment. They are under cutting nobody so don't go around slamming them.
Some of them started off when Qantas NZ picked up where Ansett left off in New Zealand. Originally they were only operating within New Zealand. If you want to blame anyone direct your venom at Qantas management, as it was they who decided to replace the Qantas brand in New Zealand with Jetstar and redirect the Qantas NZ operation to Trans Tasman operations.
By the way in case you're wondering I don't work at Jet Connect and I have never worked there but I do know some who have or still do.
