Hi all,
I'm looking to return to flying after a nearly 3 year hiatus and Qantas Jetconnect are currently recruiting for long and short haul international based in Auckland. Is anyone out there currently employed by or have worked for Qantas Jetconnect in long haul? I understand Jetconnect is a subsidiary of Qantas, just wondering what the contracts are like, are they fair? I used to work with someone who had previously flown long haul for Jetconnect out of Auckland who said the contract wasn't so crash hot, this was a while ago though and I know the industry is constantly changing so I expect things may have changed since then. Also what are the rosters typically like for long haul? Do you get to spend any significant time at home? I used to fly short haul international based out of Christchurch and we would often get several days in a row at home, 3 or 4. People would often ask me if I ever worked :P however I wouldn't know what to expect from a long haul roster, aside from you should obviously expect to spend a fair chunk of it away from home! But after a lengthy trip what might the rest period be back at base? Just trying to garner a fair idea of what to expect, otherwise I'm looking at short haul for Air NZ :) thanks!
