You can bet the Pay and Conditions won't improve. QF shorthaul have been offered a 3 year pay freeze with a once off 3% bonus. Australian Airlines I believe have been offered the same, and the company wants offsets for it. I'm sure longhaul will be next. What do you think they'll offer Jetstar? If you think that somehow there different, I think you'll need your head checked.
So, in veiw of that, I guess you leave. Sort of flys in the face of working for Jetstar so you can live in Australia.
Each to there own, I guess. But the excusses are drying up. Good luck to all.
