There are KA guys interested in leaving the most fragrantless of harbours and jetstar int would fit the bill. But not many at this stage would give up a command for a command slot in jstar only to be busted back to effoh in 3 years time. If this is sorted out then they will come.
There are loads of guys out west in the sand who would ditch the aye rabs and thier tinpot outfits to work back in oz with jetstar.
Build it and they will come.

Money being paid by Jetstar the pilots will be living among the aye-rabs of Western Sydney AnQrKa. But the Ex Ka lads enjoy good holdings on the Northern Beaches. Personally, Paddington is where my heart and homes are!
[QUOTE=Weapons_Hot]The rumor mill tells me that he is an ex-Ansett WA, ex-AN, ex-EVA and soon to be ex-Jet* (SQ based) to take up the position in MEL.

Hey, if I was overseas and desperately wanted to come back to Oz, if some outfit backed by the almighty Qantas or Virgin offered me a direct entry command on an Airbus, with the threat of being busted back to F/O after 3 years, I reckon I'd still grab it. Because 3 years is a long time in aviation and I figure that even the most stupid (read altruistic) management would change its mind, and the rules, when they worked out how much it would cost to retrain Captains to RHS and F/O's to LHS just to satisfy some
p!ssweak union agreement made 3 years earlier. Captains never get busted back unless they either fail a check or their airline gets into recession mode.
As for the money, if I had already made enough in the Sandpit or Honkers, of course I would prostitute myself for half the Qantas rate just to be back in Oz. Why? Because like the rest of you I am a pilot and thus capable of really caring, kind, compassionate and noble feelings - towards myself.
