Yes, the black cloud is still hanging over JHAS. 30+ redundancies in the last couple of months inc 10 from the line/ perm night shift - plus a few who tried to get voluntary redundancy and weren't successful and have decided to leave the ship before it sinks!
Tiger & Jetstar at present have re-signed until mid 2013 and talks on going with VA. Trouble being it appears there are no more 'V' checks booked in at JHAS after 31/12/12..............a little bit ominous I feel! If that is the case then the axe will certainly be wielded!! Guys are certainly looking elsewhere and hope that Jetstar/VA do some heavy recruiting or they'll be joining Ford on the handout queue - but at least they got a decent payout.
Word has it a guy who was made redundant hadn't reached his target hours for the past year, so JHAS deducted the hours short from his redundancy payout leaving him with virtually nothing - what an absolute disgrace, surely illegal??
