Have Qantas pilots been welcomed at Jetstar?
-Don't know however I doubt the MOU guys would have. Anecdotal reports indicate they have not been. Direct entry i.e. at the bottom of the seniority list guys/gals who were not covered by MOU would probably have been as long as they don't mention cost of endorsement... I would just suggest not mentioning paid endorsements, someone/anyone 'stealing' someone/anyone else's flying and/or going back to a red tail in 3 years to hopefully maintain flight deck harmonics.
What is an expected salary?
$87,262 for first year.
$98,051 for second year.
(Approx figures based on expected checkout, year on type etc)
Can a base transfer be expected in the 3 years?
How long is a piece of string? They say yes you can go where you want within 12 months but then you have to think realistically don't you? Are they just trying to BS you and hope you don't mind being based somewhere you don't want to be for the full 3 years.
How long is the training and how long are pilots without pay for?
Depends if it is done in Oz or the UK, shorter in Oz but expect to be without pay for 2 months.
