"JetStar" the name - 23 A320s ordered
Nunc est bibendum
Oicur, I don't know for sure but I suspect that the deal was done when the LCC was first mentioned. My feeling is that AIPA was cut out of this one a LONG time ago!
Will be interesting to see how this plays out!

I carn't believe all you mainline drivers, these guys have been flying the 717 at that pay structure for quite a while now an nothing about pay conditions has come up on this forum to suggest there was a problem with that, as soon as a new type is mentioned and you guys perceive that you might be dissadvantaged then all this bull**** starts getting posted
The 717 has taken over most of the east coast operations of NJS and a lot of people have been moved to different parts of the country to continue the Qantaslink operation, although this is a difficult time for NJS Qantaslink crew they accept it because it is part of the job.
I can fully understand why these guys have protected there positions.
You mainline drivers have your conditions protected and if these guys are happy to fly an A-320 for 120,000 + per year then let them.
All this crap about the industry being degraded by this is just that CRAP.
Most young blokes out there would almost give there left or right nacker to fly an A-320 at these pay scales.
I think it actually offers these young blokes a great opportunity and if you mainline drivers can allow your ego's to accept these guys into the mainline umbrella it offers all pilots a good opportunity.
So if NJS pilots are able to accept change of a massive scale then why carn't you guys be accepting of this decision of your management to protect all jobs in the Qantas empire,
you lucky people I wish I was in that position.

Out of everything that has been said about this topic, what fruit bat has just pointed out is the best point been made. I've got nothing to do with both sides but how correct he is
