I'll answer the jet* problem with another post.
The conditions in jet* have been voted by pilots who will get quick commands, the Jet* condition will not atract the amount of pilots they need if the expansions plans they have a true. Wait an see.
With China expanding more pilots will vote with there feet and move abroad to better pay and conditions.
Supply and demand will see to this. A operator like Virgin may be smart and recognise this early. Personally I doubt it. But it will happen.
