Dear SWH,
With regards to the differences in training ,Not too hard to get the training syllabus' for the two organisations.
1 is 4" thick the other is 4 pages thick (metaphorically speaking), guess who belongs to which?
I suggest you go and ask corporate safety for a report on the parameter triggers for QAR alerts.
Also your statement that JetStar has had less QAR alerts than Qantas is interesting, was that QAR alerts in total, or per 1000 flight hour?once again you can make statistics say whatever you wish!
I think you will find there is a bit more substance to all this than what your feeble attempts to try and deflect criticisms in what is happening at not just JetStar but the whole aviation industry in Australia .
Just get qantasStar to release the safety audit that was done on JetStar and never followed up.
If there was no problems as you are alluding to then there should be no problems in releasing a report to prove that minimum training and rapid expansion are in no way conducive to an increased risk factor!
