mainly from experienced ex-full-timers wanting a reduced work lifestyle.
That's where limited casualization can work well for a company.
On $36k a year, and with a line up out the door and around the corner of eager kids ready to replace us, we truly can't afford balls....
And that's where it doesn't. It produces bad enough results when you're only looking at customer service such as in a shop or hotel environment, but to trust airline safety procedures to a revolving cast of 18 year olds on 36K (if that's an accurate figure) is irresponsible and asking for trouble. It's a job with important safety related tasks that need to be done correctly.
Wouldn't working in a decent restaurant or shop get you more than $36K pa? Why work for Jetstar?
