Angry Good old Geoffrey Thomas

didn't know that Mr Thomas had extended his role as Skywest mouthpiece to now include Jetstar. From today under the byline of Geoffrey Thomas, Aviation Editor, The West Australian April 2, 2011, 3:00 am:

Jetstar was in the news on Thursday over an alleged email from a pilot telling colleagues not to be "princesses" over rostering complaints. It was reported at a Senate inquiry that the pilot was a base pilot or a chief pilot, whereas as he was only acting in a mentoring role and had no authority.

It has been revealed that he was from Perth and he feared that if his colleagues kicked up a fuss over rostering, Jetstar would close the Perth base.

It has also been found that the rostering for Jetstar's Perth-based pilots was, in the main, easier than for pilots based at other airports.
Given Mr Thomas has reported as if these statement were facts, I wonder what the source and evidence for those "facts" were. Or was the QF/JQ PR machine offering inducements...

Stay Alive,
