Okay...hot off the press (and sort of explains things.)
The 59 yr old
737 driver is a long time mate of those high up. Word around the herd today was...
hush,hush he is a "mate". So he will be a 330 Capt for the next 12 months and then be a Checkee (which means he can still fly, but the other Captain will be the pilot in command???) Some sort of "pay as you go" deal for the endorsement....
The other guy is well...just another "mate".
To the "Jetstar Woomera"; Clear to close this thread if you wish.
Wind your neck in mate, there is no such Woomera around here and in any event we practice a policy of discriminating equally between all of the airlines.
