Jetstar pilot life expectancy

I have just completed my medical. Apparently little Alan was quite outspoken at a recent forum attended by a number of DAMEs. He said he expects JQ pilots to burn out in 6 to 7 years, but he is not worried, they will be easy to replace. Aussies overseas are becoming more desperate to return home. The most recent 330 recruiteing program has proved this. He also confirmed AWA's will be introduced at JQ.

JQ International pilots will all be doing 930 hours per annum

I called another DAME mate who confirmed the statements were made.

Nice to know he is thinking of the welfare of his pilots and doing something positive about it!!!
