Oh look, SO, cruise FO, however you would like to label them they are cadets who have been hand picked through the toughest of application processes then trained at full cost of the "legacy" carrier and then put into a cockpit environment with 3 to 4 crew, they are then paid a salary that is expected for a professional pilot who contributes to the companys bottom line profit. This doesn't sound anything like a Jetstar cadet.
Jetstar are running this course for profit. End of story. Jetstar can select from any one of the hundreds of pilots out there in GA. Why won't they? Because there is no money in it for them.
AH and his mates can rabit on til the cows come home about how great jetstar is and how positive all the screwing over of pilots T&C's is going to be and how taking on cadets instead of hard working EXPERIENCED GA pilots that have been waiting for their lucky break will be but at the end of the day it's all just positive propaganda from the jetstar spin machine to try to paint a positive light.
There is an endless pool of good operators in GA. Why not take them??? Why because is no money in it. Enough said
