I have been flying in GA for 6 years, piston and turboprop, and love it. I enjoy a set roster, plently of personal time and a personal and friendly relationship with management. I often thought I would move to the airlines when I needed more job security or a bigger pay packet to support a family or mortgage. My airline couterparts often said to me "I would do your job for my pay anyday".
It appears i'm earning more than Jetstar are offering now.
I have withdrawn my application and many of my colleagues have done the same. I pray there aren't too many who accept this offer..
