Which they have now by entering into the contract with the 4 guinea pigs, oh sorry I mean Cadets!
The best these 4 guys can hope for now is that the contracts get quashed by the Federal Court and any pressure from the Senate Committee and they get their contracts reissued on the EBA.

The problem is, in the contract these Pilots (If we can call them that) can be sacked by the company for any reason in the first 12 months.
You don't think the company will sign them up on the EBA do you? They will be 'let go' and forced to pay back their bonds.
In fact, there are incentives on these contracts for Jetstar to let you go in the first 12 months. They save at least 27k by hiring you over an EBA Pilot. Plus they make at least 12k on your type endorsement and a GST credit on top.
Straight away they are 40k ahead by hiring you over an experienced Pilot.
If they can find any reason to let you go in the first 12 months they will. They have financial incentive to.
Disgusting.
Funny how there are Emirates advertisements on all these threads!
Funny how Emirates require 4000 hours minimum to fly one of their aeroplanes. It can't be that they place value on experience can it???
