The bottom line is the EBA IS THE MINIMUM!!!
Any Pilot wearing a Jetstar uniform, flying a Jetstar VH registered aircraft and receiving a salary from Jetstar, must be employed and protected by the EBA.
If a company can agree to an EBA, then start another company to bypass it what is the point?
If the company feels the need to employ part time pilots it must be negotiated and included in the provisions of the existing EBA.
Anything other than this is a farce, and clear contempt for every system Australia has in place to protect its workers.
If Gillard doesn't have the balls to do something about this, then it's time someone did!
