Unfortunately, redundancies are an unfortunate fact of life in the economic cycle. Perhaps mainline is no longer the holy grail of aviation that some thought it once was.

Why not consider applying for a job (on your own merits) and stop trying to hide the skirt of an MOU. What makes you think that just because you are a QF pilot it automatically entitles you yo a seat with a separate organisation? Get on with it and leave the sheltered workshop.

That is how 90 percent of the general population live.


Illusion,

Apply for a job on your own merits? Mate, we all did when we got into Qantas.
Jetstar is NOT a separate organisation, it is written on the side of the aircraft (QANTAS GROUP)... how is that separate?
Sheltered workshop? Perhaps it is, however NONE of the junior pilots in QF are sheltered, we have had to work hard for what we acheived.
Speaking purely for my group on the ground school, we are all ex GA (upto 10 years experience) REX check and training, Military from RAAF to British Airforce, Army etc... If we are all chopped, well, we have all battled to get to where we got to, we no doubt will continue to battle to get our next job and it's likely we will get one before you finish your GFPT.
