Pylet and others -
I'm sure you are right about your EBA, 6 months notice etc. etc., but I think the issue is also one of opportunity for those junior "at risk" QF mainline pilots.
Jetstar is definitely looking for F/O's right now, but who knows what the situation will be in 6 months. AIPA as a matter of priority should be facilitating a process to give these pilots some "permanence" with long term transfers into Jetstar.
Some may elect to run the gauntlet and wait, but I personally know several of this group who would grab this opportunity and run with it.
