If we actually had just the one employment standard for the entire QF 'group' then why not go with the one seniorority system? It would certainly ease the angst. The individual airlines can still pick whichever person they want but at least we know that EVERYONE has passed the same standard of entrance.
Keg, I can tell you that's the way it's heading now. Well, at least the employment standard, and right across the subsidiaries except NJS. P&S testing has been the norm for Eastern for over 2 years, and is now standard across the turboprop subsidiaries, as is the sim ride.
I don't know about
new hires into Jetstar, but they will do at least a sim ride in Sydney
Their Check Capt. did his training last year.
So you can see it's heading that way.
Then nobody can bitch about being better as the playing field becomes more level
