Jetstar can be a great place to work. When you’re young, energetic and keen.
But it’s not a ‘for your entire career’ airline.
Unfortunately, the only career airline in Australia is Qantas. And you’ll be waiting most of your career to achieve your career goals.
When I was a G.A./regional airline pilot the mere thought of cadets invoked a passionate response. It wasn’t pure. It wasn’t how you’re supposed to do it. Queue jumpers. Selfish little wart faced gits. all that talk.
But - if you haven’t had a look around the boondocks recently, GA is a shadow of what it was when my contemporaries went up norf (sic). So cadets are the future. And I’d be a million ahead and in a far better career position than I am currently.
So if you’re considering a career in aviation. Join the QF group as a cadet and see where it takes you.
