..............JetStar are recruiting BIG TIME!.................they are so desperate, they are now re-assessing applicants that were previously knocked back and giving them slots ! If NJS pilots opt to stay on the 146 instead of coffing up for a 717 conversion the sh!t will hit the fan for NJS....................they will of course say "no 717 rating - no job"..................to which the pilots will say "stiff!" and go out and apply to JetStar direct!
NJS would be wise to tread very carefully on their re-tender for this contract........you're not dealing with mining companies here boys !!!!!!
