At drinks with the Jetstar Boss
At drinks following the JQ check and Training meeting in Melbourne yesterday (Thursday 29th Dec) AJ asked the gathered mass why pilot moral was so poor in JQ and why the "lads" wont accept his offer. When told, he got irate and launched into a tirade about how well JQ treats the pilots and how good the current offer is.
But the punchline.......
He said if the pilots don't accept his offer he will only deal with pilots on EBA's. (Perhaps he was asleep or otherwise occupied last Saturday evening or maybe Ian has inside info from his pals)
and the parting shot.......
He went on to say that any movement in pilot salaries will destroy the JQ LCC model.
