Perhaps there is another reason for Jetstar recruiting Oz based pilots!
As Qantas/Jetstar management have been working on moving flying to non Oz based pilots, it seems strange that they suddenly start employing pilots for Australian bases. It could be in anticipation of a backlash from the politicians as a result of the Senate Inquiry (thanks Senator X) but another possibility is to quickly increase the number of pilots available to be used as strike breakers when the QF mainline LH pilots commence PIA in their attempt to secure jobs and career progression.
All Jetstar pilots need to consider their response very carefully because the only way that we'll be able to have long careers as Australian based pilots is to stand united against this narcissistic management who appear hell bent on destroying this great company.
