Did anyone else note in today's "Australian" that AJ is talking up the opporunities in "J* Pacific"? Clearly, the plan is that intended operational similarities will mean junior pilots will be
able to promote into J* Pacific LH seats and then, in time, return to Oz. It is "a huge potential retention activity for us long term" says AJ. And, "Joyce also believes the new airline will help Jetstar keep its pilots".
Did J* pilots expect this? DECs right now for Oz basings, and yet any current non-captain's first promo may come via an indefininte Hanoi/Ho Chi Minh basing. Good deal!
Of course if any current pilot employee is so ungrateful as to decline such benevolently inspired & considered opportunity then AJ will undoubtedly find alternative sources of suitable pilots.
CX, QF, EK may not be so bad after all again? Good luck folks.
