so if I was in J* there's no way I would want the MOU deal thrown out.....
Why?
There is only 130 Pilots in Jetstar that could use it. All are captains, many on the A330 and the soon to be 787. Most if not all are in the base they want to be in. Why would they want to become junior captains possibly in 5 years on the 737 and maybe in another 10, a junior captain on a widebody to be screwed by the senior bidding system in place at long haul, working ****e rosters until they are 60 and too old to enjoy it? The A380 ain't that special, and it doesn't go anywhere that conjures visions of paradise. Unless whinging poms, obese Americans and camel racing is your thing......
Whilst I have the utmost respect for the QF guys I work with, your airline is just another airline. The guys I've flown with from Qantas are nothing special. They are just like any other Pilot I have flown with.
In all honesty and money aside, Jetstar is a better place to work. Why would the senior guys want to leave?
