No one has to defend their decision to join
any airline. However, you must be prepared to support statements made by you, on this forum.
The tax recovery
is a furphy,
unless you are already employed by the Company and are claiming it to further your career prospects. I have approached the ATO and they have confirmed the same. That's why I questioned your statement - in case things had changed. Salary sacrifice for "umpteen years" does not instill confidence in me for long term, good employer/employee relations.
I would respectfully suggest your statement
I'm not sure if my 8000 hrs jet command and training experience has any bearing on that.
would have had a
huge bearing on your two years to Command. Please don't imply this,two years to command, would apply to most applicants joining Jetstar without vast experience.
The aviation circle in Oz is
not as big as you may imagine and there is
always someone who knows someone else, somewhere else.
how could they unless they worked for the company in question?
does not always ring true.
