The AIPA president will meet with the minister for immigration and the minister for transport in the next two weeks to question the 457 visa loophole.
Jetstar has to prove there is a shortage of skilled applicants and prove they are training Australians before 457 visas will be issued.
The wheels are in motion guys to stop you people screwing our industry here. Either stay in SA or go to EK....dont come to OZ you are not welcome
Yeh and I am sure that Jet* don't know what is required of them. They have been recruiting for a substantial amount of time. After exhausting all avenues to find "suitably qualified" pilots they have resorted to employing pilots on 457 visas. Are you (or AIPA) sure that they have not done their homework.
Does anyone suppose that Jet* has gone ahead with this option without getting the necessary approvals.
