FluffyBunnyFeet,

Just so the IPG knows the difference between EAA, SSA and NJS,

Both EEA and SSA are wholly owned just like Impulse and are therefore Qantas employees.

NJS however is not owned by Qantas and as such their pilots are not Qantas employees. NJS contract to Airlink which is wholly owned.

I don’t have a problem with NJS, I would prefer that all Red Tailed aircraft (as you put it) were operated by employees of Qantas not contractors.

I also find it hard to understand Mainlines attitude to Impulse when NJS have for years operated Jets owned by Qantas over Qantas routes, at reduced rates compared to mainline, how many commands did that cost.....
Is there a double standard or have I missed something?

Now if Qantas decide to purchase NJS and call them Jetstar Light and offer them less than impulse accepted, while saying take it or lose your job…..
