Disagree with you NN,
If what you say is true, there is a gross dereliction of duty and responsibility. This is not an advertising exercise, but a search for someone who actually has all of the qualifications to do the job (and I mean absolutely no disrespect to the selected person).
It is indeed good policy to sound out the regulator before any appointment is made public.
This process has been a rush of blood to the head of a few people who should have known better.
But remember, this is Jetstar and a hallmark and further example of many "odd" things this outfit does.
