And also Realise that flying for Pacific Blue has nothing to do with Virgin Blue despite what some people may tell you. You are employed under contract. (which means you are paid alot less, get no super or fulltime work rights)
Be aware there is also a lot going on (virgin work rule and EBA negotiations)and under industrial contract law you only need to be given two(2) days notice if the contract is terminated.
Talk to anyone else you know that may work for Virgin about PB not just to the PB pilots and the contractors hiring. They will have you believing long haul fantasy stories which I can assure are not true also. Always do your research.!!!!
