Jetstar The Poacher

[UNOME]

The genius management team at Jetstar have just realized that poaching the main players from Tiger Airways will hobble the rising giant.

I hear the Chief Pilot,Training Manager, Ops Manager, along with almost every other Tiger pilot, has been offered a very desirable position within Jetstar. Even senior Tiger first officers have been offered DE commands in Jetstar.

Many of those contacted have been rejected outright during the selection process in the past, apparently they are now very acceptable.

Although... many of the Jetstar key players have never been though the selection process or in fact, have failed it, only to be given a management position.

Ethical? Not a philosophy associated with Jetstar management.

That's actually good isn't it?

It should drive up the wages a bit?

Nothing like supply and demand

Hi UNOME, nice to see you playing still. Remember Tiger started it by contacting many of our drivers first including our management and trainers and checkers. They probably would have gone too if a decent deal had been on the table.

Great to see somebody not from J* acknowledge that J* offers very desirable opportunities.

OOOOH. Not sure about this one. Last I heard there were only two first officers checked to line. Given that Tiger has only been in operation for 2 months, it doesn't take much to be "senior" does it. But, given that J* has a need for DECs, then if they meet the experience requirement, what is the big deal? But I do think you may be being a little mischievious.

Very clever J*. I wonder who thought of it?

Tiger might poach Joyce.. there's a scary thought. Can't see why though, perhaps Aircraft could explain some possibilities.

320

Are JetStar really taking DEC's?

I saw the 787 ad a while ago, but are there also DEC's onto the A320?

[UNOME]

Tiger has about 60 pilots now (many ex- AN personnel) and the "senior" FOs I was referring to are very high time airline pilots.

I can confirm that Capt A.C. is offering DECs to both Capt's and "senior" FOs from Tiger.

Apparently (both new recruits and recurrent training) Tiger pilots are also being fronted at the Tulla Sim center and offered deals.

Jetstar has also successfully recruited a number DECs from the South African recruitment safari.

The barrel is looking fairly bare!

PS Fisty. Not being mischievous, just thought it was worth posting.

Not only Jetstar. I have it on good authority by someone who was at the Regional Airlines Association meeting that a very senior QFLink guy said to the REX equivalent," we are going to take all your pilots, starting with your best then to the worst".

As if we haven't got enough bloody Yarpies in our country!

Despite the thread being locked I find the use of that word particularly inappropriate.

It is a word that has been long banned on this site, in general, and is particularly offensive in this context.

gondwalla is outa here.
