You're slightly incorrect there spinout.
the 717's are being operated by NJS on behalf of QF.
Pilots who have enough $$ to pay for their endorsement will be flying QFlink, although employed by NJS.
When first employed, FA's will usually start off working in the NJS charter division. After a year or so they can transfer to QFlink and fly for them, although still employed by NJS.
Qantaslink is also made up of Airlink, which is us.
We cannot transfer directly to QF. Sunstate and Eastern have progression to mainline (for FA's at least) as they are a wholly owned subsidiary. We have to apply externally like everyone else as we are contractors (and we are CONSTANTLY reminded of that!)
We have a memo at the moment telling us we are not to go near the 717 as it is still under Jetstar's AOC. Not offically ours yet!
Skysista - yes you should apply. Groundschools are ongoing atm. One has just gone through. Another should soon. We\'re short staffed, only to get worse when the 717\'s are rolled into action!
Go to nationaljet.com.au and click on the employment bit then flight attendant and you can email them to send you an application form.
goodluck
