The Federal minister for Industrial Relations and work place, and the Federal Minister for Immigration both stated that the Jet* application for 457 visas were not supported. So it is a simple question. Has the Federal Government issued any 457 visas to South African pilots for the purpose of working for Jet*? Now I know Julia Gillard loves getting on T.V. Perhaps the media or AIPA can ask some direct questions.
Secondly, Fact. Around 15 South Africans started at Jet* around 1 month ago. Under what provisions? There is plenty of information and examples that this IS HAPPENING. If the union was serious about protecting pilots best interests, than they would do something about it!
