For some that’s not an issue…for others that’s a problem.
Obviously this isn’t a new issue but joining the wave post COVID in an airline with little to no expansion over the next decade is the harsh reality.
Depends on one’s age, and how picky they want to be with bids.
I would agree that maybe someone 50+ is not going to hold a command. 45 and under though, I would say there’s still a good chance of at least a narrow body command. 30-35 and under will get a chance at a widebody command.
I would probably safely say that the days of expanding Jetstar are done and dusted, and with more demand for point to point travel in the future, I see there being a good chance of at least some expansion of mainline.
But, all this depends on how pessimistic or optimistic you want to be.
On the other hand, you could just go and enjoy it for what it is, a job where you get to travel.
