Jetstar have changed the way you pay for your endorsement on both the 717 and the A320.
Currently they are paying for the endorsement up front and that cost is deducted from your pay over three years before tax....hence the net cost of the endo is reduced by about 48%.
Not bad I would suggest.
Perhaps a sign of the beginnings of a shift back towards free endos followed by ROSO as demand for experienced pilots outstrips supply....perhaps not. An improvement none the less.
