I would like to know what contract is better than jets? Emirates, Qatar, Etihad, all pay about the same or less and don't allow commuting at all. Korean is a commuting contract, but there is a 500 page threads stating how horrible that contract is. Sin isn't hiring, cathey is non commuting. Please tell me where this magical high paying, two week on two week off, home based 777 contract is, I have a bunch of friends looking for it.
Jet is the only company I know who pays guys for 6 months, who go out on medical failure. I know of two guys who will retire from jet having never flown the aircraft.
Seriously, what is the gold standard contract which jet is being compared against? You can't compare your local airline with an expat contract. Apples to apples.
