I am certain that many experienced Airbus pilots would be mortified at the Jetstar practice of
"TOGA TAP".
Those in management who endorsed and taught this dangerous practice and now run away claiming "no knowledge" should be dismissed.
CASA is well aware of the truth.
Ultimately the animus, cronyism and nepotism of the three warring parties that attempt to manage Jetstar is what leads to this and other incidents.
Given that the "chosen mates" are now being slipped in through the back door in preparation for the 787 introduction, what other highlights can we expect?
Jetstar has copped massive criticism for the shonky and blantent unfairness of its employment/ promotion process. Take for example the JQ pilot (who had
not flown an aircraft/ been involved in aviation for the past seven years, who has not flown a widebody, who has not flown longhaul,) being promoted to CHECK CAPTAIN
A330 after just SIX MONTHS as an A320 F/O!!
Good bloke or not, it smacks of cronyism, destabilizes the company and leads to non standard dangerous practices such as Jetstars' "TOGA TAP"
