should they be successful they will be running the two operations, Jetstar out of Perth with the 320's, and the QLink 717 ops.
Looking at the schedules recently, a number of 320 flights have been canned, asking whats happening apparently not enough crew for the current 320 operation, let alone expanding to the west.
Seems the ex-impulse A320 pilots have woken up and realised that thye are getting paid close to half of A320 pilots elsewhere in the region, with a strong demand for 320 pilots at the moment wispers are about that jetstar are looking at decreasing wages, not incresing.
So decreasing wages, coupled with a contract that says if you go in as a direct entry A320 capt on a 146 drivers pay, and the company will bust you back to FO in 24 months as the impulse EBA has all their pilots having seniority.
And you wonder why people are saying thanks but no thanks, sure you have a million eastern pilots wanting to get in, from what I hear even those people are thinking hard about it, for some its a pay cut, and pay for your endorsement, and no recognition for your service with Qantaslink in terms of seniority, except if your ex-impulse flying Qantaslink.
