The way I see it, Jetstar doesn't need to spend one dollar on training me any further... they could have me flying with them as a F/O in no time... and walking up the seniority ladder, maybe as a Captain one day too?
But this is the answer I got from them on May 5, 2006.... any thoughts from anyone as to "why"? ....still beats me.
