Still worked out well for them, they have had training costs cancelled, a healthy payout from the company, an EBA seniority number, 320 and 787 type rating and over $100,000 per year. Not bad for guys only out of flying school 3-4 years ago. Compare that with say a Jetstar NZ FO who had to pay Jetstar $40,000 for the endorsement, has no right of move to OZ and is earning less, only comparing them as so many cadets are now on LWOP in NZ on a supremely better deal than the ex-link experienced guys who are already there.
