Just had it confirmed from a well placed source this morning.The Jetstar Recruitment Ban is in force.For those who are confused, or want to use being naive as an excuse after they join Jetstar, here it is in simple terms:-The Jetstar pilots have initiated a Recruitment Ban on ANY pilot joining Jetstar on any contract outside of the 2008 Pilots Agreement negotiated for a 5 year term until 2013. This applies from the 18th May 2011. Those who accept a contract will be blacklisted, and will find their careers going down the toilet very quickly.The Jetstar pilots want you to be a successful pilot in Jetstar, but not on any of the third world contracts they are currently offering. If you join Jetstar it must be on the EBA. The pilots are currently fighting their hardest to ensure this can happen, and to stop Jetstar management from destroying the company, and possibly the industry in Australia. Accepting a contract is a slap in the face of every Jetstar pilot, and will be met with reprisal.Stand up for yourself, and tell Jetstar you will not accept a contract. You want a long term career, not to have your work/family life completely controlled by imbeciles who have no ethics and no morals. The pilots who are on the EBA know how hard it is to have a life in Jetstar, let alone without those protections built into the agreement.So if you know anyone considering accepting a contract, please refer them to this site, and explain to them they will be comitting professional suicide if they accept a contract whilst there is a recruitment ban in place. There is so much anger in Jetstar at the moment. Newcomers do not want to be on the end of that for their whole career.The Jetstar pilots are trying to look after their EBA, and to look after new pilots who want to join. Help them to do this.
