Don't think anybody's going to touch that job with a barge poll whilst they're offering a pittance.
Why would you accept $80,000 NZD when your counterparts in Australia are being paid over $100,000 AUD?(And I don't believe that there are compulsory super contributions from employers in NZ so, that's another 9% less)
The need for 73NG and 767 experience would be a fairly blatant attempt by Qantas/Jetstar to have the capability of doing there own ground handling (engineering wise) in Christchurch.Hello everyone at Air New Zealand/ANZES
Sadly, for the bean counters that come up with such scheme's, there are not a large supply of surplus engineers with the qualifications that they're asking for (particularly Avionics) awaiting any chance to grab what pittance is offered them. That's despite that fact that QF management seem determined to destroy the irreplaceable skill base that they have in Australia with the outsourcing of it's Heavy Maintenance maintenance. (where do they think Line Maintenace people start out?)
If they seriously want people to work for them in Christchurch, they're going to have to have a serious rethink on the remuneration package at least.This is just market forces coming back to bite all these globalisation/outsourcing exponents right in the bum.
Or, God forbid, take some people who don't quite have the qualifications that they're after, and spend some money to train people up.
Of course, this is money that could be spent on executive bonuses so, that idea's probably a non starter.
Looks like Jetstar will have to use people from their already insuffient numbers they have in Australia to keep the Christchurch base going for a little while longer.
