recently, (like 2 days ago) we discovered Qantas bought NJS

NJS began operating BAe146 for Australian Airlines (now Qantas).
Qantas made the decision to change from 146 - 717 in 2005.

Through those changes pilot conditions were determined by their current agreement.
Initially AWA now the current EBA.
NOTHING has changed for the employees except the owner Advent - Qantas and hopefully a little more security.

People dreaming they will be fast tracked to mainline are doing just that “dreaming”.
the best template is Network. Look at their progress and you will probably get an idea of the NJS progress, minimal at best.




In the future, yes maybe changes, no different to before. COVID may/will create the biggest opportunity for more or less aircraft.
Well put RENURPP.

The only significant change to career prospects will be the ability to apply for QF group positions as an internal applicant vs an external for those interested in moving.
