Jetstar has recently had to raise its DEFO salary offer from an initial lowball offer (even though Australia and New Zealand have plenty of pilots meeting their hiring minimums). Lack of interest perhaps?
There has also been a recent Australian Government inquiry looking into Jetstar's plans to employ heavily indebted and indentured 200hr cadet pilots on salaries substantially lower than current FO rates. A resulting recommendation from the enquiry voted against this practice, which is now being further investigated for possible legislation changes. This is happening because voices within the Australian aviation industry, with the help of a conscientious senator, spoke loudly enough to be heard.
It takes time, but pilots (current and aspiring alike) don't have to roll over and accept whatever deal the bean counters throw at them.
