Just another scare I think Mac - the old cry "you will never get a job"

Think of it this way

  • 80 plus former cadets are now flying A320s with Jetstar
  • Jetstar unlike Virgin still actually hired DE FOs in Australia during 2013 - about 50
  • 22 cadets have just commenced ab-initio equal split between CTC & Oxford
  • Jetstar Australia is currently hiring direct entry FOs for Jetstar Australia
  • Jetstar still has significant aircraft orders
  • Jetstar only tells its flying schools at the very last minute what the requirement for numbers are, the next ab-initio intake is scheduled for start of August this year
  • You need to check your facts Jetstar wouldn't do anything right now given they have six months to evaluate developments
  • Remember they have been subject of a good deal of "knocking" about this program - this will only make them more determined to make it work, and given 80 are checked to line. At this point in time they have the score on the board.
