How lucky for your friend, Bart.
Change of Government= change of heart on such matters I would hazard a guess.
Just how many Safa mates have been employed since the Federal Election?
I'd also say the NO vote on the JetStar EBA ref: direct entry captains may also have an influence on more of your friends joining.
P.S I stand by my statement.
Like they say, time and the EBA results will tell.

Max, he might be luckier than we first imagined... Just received this in the mail...

Seems your initial predictions may just prove to be correct?
Good luck to all concerned - it appears Lady Luck is visiting other "pastures" at the moment? Maybe she doesn't like to work in the dark? Or maybe the rising costs of processed fossil fuels has her concerned again?

Latest rumour
Some SA (not necessarily SAA) pilots have now been offered positions at Jet*. Fact. A friend has received the job offer in his grubby little inbox. The waffle about Jet* not having applied for 457 visa's is absolutely untrue. Looks like starting dates in June/July due to the time involved to get the exams written and medical done and then have the visa issued.
