Jetstar Cabin Jobs Thailand

just passing through Bangkok(BKK) and noticed display ad in local "Bangkok Post" for local cabin crew for Jetstar:

quote word for word:

"Jetstar Airways, a Qantas Group Airline from Australia will begin flights late this year from the east coast of Australia to international destinations in the Asia Pacific region including Bangkok, Phuket, Osaka, Ho Chi Minh City, Bali and to Honolulu. Jetstar is planning to set up a CREW base in Bangkok and has engaged Tour East (T.E.T) Ltd to recruit Thai nationals for cabin crew positions"

"as a value based airline, Jetstar will offer two classes of service for its international flights. The cabin crew will be responsible for meeting the customer service and comfort needs of passengers (no mention of safety). Crew will be rostered to be away from home for multiple nights, flying to various destinations in the international Jeststar network"

If Jetstar is a "Qantas Group Airline" then are they bound by Australian laws......

Requirements in the ad:

Female minimum 18 years old.......(not allowed under Thai Law to enter a bar until 20 so how can they serve alchohol on an AUSTRALIAN aeroplane)!!!

Male must be 21 years old and have military exemption certificates

Interviews commence near Don Muang airport(BKK) on 24 August.

Well the most probable pay will be about $7,000 Australian dollars per YEAR if they are lucky......yes thats right most probably about $7000 dollars GROSS per annum. Lets double it to $14,000 dollars a year...they will have all the staff from TG applying overnight!!!!!!

By the way, they must be a University graduate.(at 18?????)
