I put it to you that Jetstar NZ Captains have higher Gross Earnings than Jetconnect and PacBlue Captains.
You might want to check your figures there fella, you may be quite surprised. Jetconnect Captains are actually on a pretty sweet deal, contrary to all the banter that is being thrown around. A friend of mine in Jetconnect showed me his gross earnings from his last financial year and it was close to $200k for working on average 75 block hours a month. So unless Jetstar NZ have had a massive pay rise I'd have to beg to differ on your post limitedrisk.
I guess that's why Jetstar NZ and Pac Blue have a constant stream of captains leaving for better paid jobs where Jetconnect seam to retain their Captains.
