They will be setting up a Jetstar turboprop operation based out of Auckland. Don't know about pay scales or salary or work patterns. No common seniority list with the jets - structure will be similar to the link/air New Zealand operation. You will have to apply and go through all the normal interview crap to move from the turboprop operation to the jets despite having proved yourself capable/efficient etc.
Good luck in recruiting some of the many experienced dash 8 crews currently operating over here in NZ with that sort of attitude. As deltat says, look offshore for a career.
