Horserun, watch this space. Borghetti is dispatching his 2Ic on the 8th of october to brief all Qantas NZ ( jetconnect ) staff on "quote" large expansion plans in the New Zealand domestic market to further increase our competetive edge.
There's just too many rumours out there to even speculate what these changes may be.
Seven resignations last week. Most to premier airlines, couple of Aussies going home etc. two to PB
My take on it is this - JC is a good place to be. It's not Air Nz and never will be, but it's got a great bunch of people, good route structure and probably the quickest proggresion the the left seat in the pacific rim. There"s no conditions in the contract ( at all ) but the renumeration is reasonable ( 95 - 100k ) for an f/o including allowances. You get to live in NZ and spend most nights at home. Sure beats the hell out living in Hong Kong, I'd say. Management is on the average side but the signs are there that things are improving. I worked 17 day's last month, not to bad.
anyway, enough said from my fine self, time to sit back and read the howls of indignation that someone dare say something good about this airline.
