What other professions require to you to pass either one or two (age dependent) medicals per year and six or more checks (simulator, route etc) plus have to make quick decisions in an unnatural environment without the possibility of any external help? At least other professions can get a second opinion. What other employer expects you to hand over around $30,000 to pay for your own training once they give you a job? Shouldn't that be an employers responsibility, particuarly with the profits produced and the excessive executive wages in place? The Jetstar fellows don't paid nowhere near enough for the responsibility they hold.
