question

Interesting to note there has been no response to my post that Qantas cabin crew receive double the pay, 20% less hours and drastically greater rest periods both at home and while overseas than their colleagues they work next to who are employed by QCCA.

This suggests we are more worried about the rest periods and fatigue management of foreign crew working on Jetstar aircraft, than the well-being and safety of Australian crew.

The foreign based Jetstar crew situation brought to our attention by the media through Senator Xenophon is also happening right under our noses, in our OWN country. No less, these tactics are happening at the "flag carrier", the "premium airline" and the "national icon". So it is not just the low cost carrier guilty of employing such poor standards.
