So phoenix, where will you go if you quit jetstar?
Jetstar won't hire you back on a better contract, Virgin won't be any more likely to take you than a GA guy, Qantas (if they are hiring by then, or even still around) won't take you because you quit jetstar, Air NZ same as
VB, so what are you going to do? Have to go overseas to somewhere like Europe, Asia etc. where these low hour cadetships actually have some traction.
Or go GA, and have the option of Jetstar, Virgin, Qantas, Air NZ, regionals, corporate aviation and so on. With jetstar you are putting all your eggs in a very rickety basket that is owned by a farmer who make no mistake is using you.
