Re: MAM or Jetstar?????

Hi andie,

I don't know about MAM not ever having worked for them, but hear you on the whole "casual" thing as I have friends who do.

Here's my list of JQ benefits:

Full time permanent
Can put name on list after 6 months for part time (yes it's a long one)
Staff travel benefits
6 weeks paid annual leave
Paid sick leave
Rostered up to 140 hrs mostly 130 hrs for the calendar month
10 days off for the month
Available days that can be nominated live to earn extra income
6 preferential bids to ask for days off, lates, earlies etc
Swap system with other crew if you need to change things
Average day 8-9 hours
Home every night in your own bed with your loved one
Easy service on board
Great people to work with
Huge expansion domestically and internationally

On the downside

The money's not great but it beats David Jones or Big W, and it is regular income and you know the banks love that!

So I may be biased but as you can see there are some great things about us.

Good luck with your decision. My advice is go to the seminar, see what they have to offer and if you get to the end then make a decison. Don't throw away an opportunity until you know what it is.

Cheers
