This is the most ridiculous schedule I've seen in my life.
This flight is purely a SIN-PEK flight, and for Jetstar to market it as an Australia-China flight, and the worldwide media to trumpet headlines like "JETSTAR TO FLY TO CHINA TO TAP INTO CHINA DEMAND" is just so much bs.
For all purposes and intents, the flight will be operated by SIN-based crew.
By the way I have flow Jetstar Asia/Valuair many times and most of the pilots are not Singaporeans - the last flight had two Brits actually and many are Aussies.
With Singapore being a really expensive place for non-locals to live in especially for housing and education for kids, I can't imagine that these expats are relocating for tiny salaries.
Chong Phit Lian, the CEO of Jetstar Asia though is an asset to the QF Group. SHe has built a lot of relationships with secondary Chinese airports - and for years SIA has tried to get additional slots into Beijing and failed.
Tiger could have learned from that and put in senior management in Australia who understood the local aviation market, instead of Tony Davis' friends who have made a mess not just there, but in the rest of Asia as well.
