No.
Pilots to the opposition? Not likely.
It'll take about 18 months but my money is on the following..........
JetConnect "Sorry boys, we're closing up shop. Thanks for all your help."
JetConnect pilots: "****."
Jetstar "Hello boys, we've got some shiny new planes here, complete with a sh!thouse contract and payscales. Give us a call when you got A320 on ya licence..."
JetConnect Pilots: "****"
To say JQ and QF and NZ and PacBlue are all going to survive on the NZ maintrunk is insane.
Sadly, if its cheaper to make someone redundant than train him for the new job, can it go any other way?
Anyone see it any differently?
Edit: I apologise if it seems insensitive to any JetConnect guys. Just an opinion.
