So we now look to Jetstar as a comparison? Oh my.
Ooook then, (some points don't apply if you won the pre GFC lottery).
1. 787's. (Mate they look crap don't they? **** destinations also..)
2. FO's only for FO wide-body slots.
3. Business class staff or duty travel.
4. Staff travel on EK and QF long haul business about half the price of EY and VA.
5. QF group now looking at progression into mainline (based on performance by the looks of it).
6. QF group profits = not wondering if the job will be there tomorrow.
7. Previously offers of LWOP and the ability to try contracts elsewhere.
8. Career options in multiple countries with JQ subsidiaries.
Just a few minor points regarding the Low Cost Carrier Jetstar.
Have a look at the Virgin Blue Hiring page (in the GA forum) if you can find it. Nobody posts on it, zero interest. Not even from blokes in GA (yoohoo anybody home??!!).
Don't think atlas is the problem somehow, but better we hush him down. Shhhh.
Anyway it's a job not a holiday. As long as the wage goes in the bank...
Takes a while to get your head around it being a job and not a career. Atlas, enjoy the Jet, smell the roses best you can, chin up as life is short buddy.
