Please tell me why you deserve to get into Jetstar when there are thousands of suitably qualified pilots in Australia who have a shed load more experience and have done the hard yards.
The invalidity of this argument is palpable. It is akin to Jet* saying they will have 20,000 applications.
There *may* be thousands of qualified pilots in Australia. But I will definitely argue as to their 'suitability.' Anybody can pay money and get a CPL. It just takes time and deep pockets. Anybody can also manage to get hours and tick the requirements box for an airline application. But that doesn't make them suitable for the airline job.
It is like saying because Johnny Ablett has played each week in the local competition for the last 5 years he is owed a position in any AFL team next week. He isn't. And neither is Johnny Yaeger who has 5 years of GA flying entitled to an airline job.
The arrogance of our industry where people think because they have got their licences and got the airline requirements they should be in an airline job is frustrating at best and simply pathetic at worst.
