Jet* Roadshows

[highflya]

With Jet* conducting the annual roadshows, can anybody fill us in with some details of what is being said? I'm hearing coments back saying the company will do any thing and everything it can

[Capt Kremin]

Give experienced QF FO's and SO's a valid career path and their problems will go away.

[Mstr Caution]

Does a "Roadshow" fit the LCC model?:8

[QF DRIVE]

It does if it is held on the road in front of the venue

[Capn Bloggs]

QF Drive 1, J* Roadshows 0. :ok:

[Boomerang]

Capt Kremin, likewise if Qantas Mainline does (had) give(n) progression for Qantas Regional all us mere (now ex-) prop jockeys wouldn't have defected from the "Qantas Group". There would be less demand for new SOs and QLink would retain drivers for longer because there would have been a light at the end of the tunnel. (ie KLM cityhopper F50 drivers)

Off topic: The guys joining Jetstar now are from various backgrounds, as are the QF SOs. Often the difference is they didn't get through mainline selection, or some, like myself don't want to be Sydney based, Longhaul, cruise relief pilots ;).

I actually know someone who was 'knocked back' by Jetstar but has been given a start with mainline! Go figure...:ok:

[captaintunedog777]

Howard wow u have got to be joking. I find that very hard to believe. INteresting times ahead hey dude. Fancy someone geting into one airline and not another.

Mate there are some genuises in the world

[Aussie]

Fancy getting knocked back from Jetstar, only to be offered the better alternative at QF....

Was his lucky day!

[UncleJack]

Any one know how many pilots Jet* are looking for in 2008?

[G Cantstandya]

From the training managers mouth, 14 per month at least for the next 2-3 years!!!!
