Just spoke to a mate who has been offered a contract with J*NZ. Capt is apparently NZ$130, F/O 65000. Hours are for 6o or 65 I think, and then an flying allowance of 120 per hour. 8 days off, 5 weeks leave and some kiwi super???? ( whatever that is....).Most months are around 75-80 hours, of which they are a mix of domestic and tasman runs.
Not sure how this compares to Pac Blue or Jitconnect??? etc. I think his start date (if he takes it??!!) is around june/july....

Never mind comparing these salaries to Jitconnect or PB, how about to Mt Cook or Air Nelson. It's an absolute insult! Anyone who takes this job is an absolute porn of the industry. Lets keep dragging our own industry down then we can all complain once we're all earning baggage loaders salaries.
Jetstar management are either ignorant or have very low IQ's?
Best of luck getting Visa's for the mexicans you plan to imigrate to NZ to fly these things. Better terms and conditions on a turbo props. What a joke!!

Hate to think what the ground staff and FA's will get then. Im sick to death of seeing that toolbag hughesy on the adverts. "All our aircraft have comfy leather seats" woo-f@#kin-hooo, so do most 172's.
Budget operators have been good to an extent because they have created jobs for pilots, but this time their just taking the piss.

When Sherm was a younger pilot, if you were approaching 28 and hadn't yet been hired by a "major"....you were dead meat.
The then majors, AN Group, EWA, TN and Qantas had everything stitched up. Rigid seniority, all AFAP members, common terms and conditions. And as for cheap fares to encourage market growth......hahahahahahahahahahahaha
Time to command for the young Sherm was 15 years.
The world has changed and there are thousands more jobs than ever and waiting for command nowhere near such a misery. Many options. Some entry level, some wonderful, some sideways, some doomed, some a mistake, some much better than imagined, many overseas on shiny machines not on the Australian register.
Those who don't want the NZ jobs should simply not take them. End of story.
As an aside: I had a friend who once knocked back seniority number 12 at Fedex...."looked dodgy" (or some similar yank expression). So be it. Some win, some lose, smart guys learn and move on.

From what I hear these conditions for AKL Command are approx 10k more than a current JQ F/O conditions at the moment-this is pathetic. Naturally in this industry the attraction of a job on a new shiny jet (A320/B787) may succumb to some.
For those considering this contract please consider joining a union first.

The race is on to see who's T&C's reach the bottom first. Those airlines who exploit their primary asset must understand if you pay peanuts you get monkeys. AKL Zoo's primates may not want to pay $181.50 AUD for the Psychometric assessment, but some monkey will
