The Jetstar Game

Fellow pilots
I just heard this from my friend about a pilot recently got selected to join Jetstar.He has done his induction through this so called third party and got through the selection and signed the Jetstar contract .Some how after a week jetstar called him and ended the contract .
The reason given that he has an Full Australian ATPL and they dont want that.................
Can someone tell me can they do these kinds of things to pilots
Is this because they have to pay him as per the EBA about 85K if they keep him because he has an ATPL.
this make me believe that they want cheap labour
now if they have come with the ACP cadet but the are finding that they will have to pay because most of them have ATPL...
can some one enlighten on this
