Last year QF underwent 13 CASA audits as part of regular checks along with 159 internal audits and 75 external audits by foreign regulators and various manufacturers and airlines.
I seem to remember that the Qantas Group has all aircraft fleets audited via means of the LOSA audit, except the Jetstar fleet that is.

019360,
Being safety conscious doesnt mean the audits were done.
I'd be interested to hear when exactly the LOSA audit was conducted by auditors from the parent company.
And when were such results provided to the crew after such audit?
The buck stops with the CEO, recall the July 21st 2007 missed approach incident at Melbourne airport involving a J* A320.
The ATSB contacted J* on the 11th September 2007 only after media reports of a
Further information was provided to the ATSB &
The actions at the time of the above incident dont highlight your "safety conscious" culture.

potentially serious incident.
the ATSB re-assessed it to be sufficiently serious to warrant the immediate initiation of an investigation.

GD's latest announcement re "CASA review" shows he is either the worlds greatest bullsh*t artist, or has his head seriously lodged in his backside.
WTF!!!?
Too bloody right! Agendas such as $$$mill bonuses.
Recent suggestions, for example, that Qantas engineering has cut back on training......
Unfortunately, media interest in our operations also attracts ill-informed and, at times, totally incorrect commentary, some from people pursuing a range of agendas.

AJ safety conscious? You mean the man who is on record as saying he expects to burn-out his pilots in 6-7 years, but that's ok because there are plenty more of them to be found? That AJ?

A Mouth that Bites
Some of the stuff that AJ said to ingratiate himself is now coming back to bite him in the bum.
He will most likely laugh it off when reminded.

Captain Kremin,
Did AJ actually make that "burn out" statement? Really? If he did that's enough to cast serious doubt on his suitability as an AOC post-holder. If you have actual court-room level first hand evidence of his having said that in front of witnesses then could you post that please? I have friends at JQ who deserve to know the truth and other friends considering going there.
Otherwise, and I say this with kindly sincerity, withdraw that post and the comment therein, lest you be labelled by some less generous than me as a mindless and rabid JQ hater who doesn't care to let the facts (or absence of them) get in the way of a good sledge. I have no idea whether AJ is the litigious type, but a post like that is a good way to find out.

Captain Sherm.
Here's a cut & paste from a thread title Jetstar Pilot life expectancy.
Sounds like Captain Kremin was referring to this thread.

Jetstar pilot life expectancy
I have just completed my medical. Apparently little Alan was quite outspoken at a recent forum attended by a number of DAMEs. He said he expects JQ pilots to burn out in 6 to 7 years, but he is not worried, they will be easy to replace. Aussies overseas are becoming more desperate to return home. The most recent 330 recruiteing program has proved this. He also confirmed AWA's will be introduced at JQ.
JQ International pilots will all be doing 930 hours per annum
I called another DAME mate who confirmed the statements were made.
Nice to know he is thinking of the welfare of his pilots and doing something positive about it!!!
