Jetstar to close crew bases
RFN,
If you look on the doorstep of Darwin, SE Asia is serviced predominately by narrow body aircraft. ALL the low cost carriers in Asia are using narrow body aircraft exclusively!!!
Time to have a look outside your front door and draw a 1500 nm arc around Darwin, you might be shocked by the number of countries and people there.

That will be good news for those who stick it out in Darwin then. Jetstar will pay to move them up there at great expense and then pay to move them back after a couple of years.
It will be a bit like an all expenses paid holiday in the top end.

Had to laugh this morning, Westerway was being interviewed on local radio as the media are saying Jetstar is pulling out of the state, he was asked if Jetstar would reconsider the axing of the Overnight / early flight out, he said " No, now that we have closed our crew base we cant do overnighting aircraft due to the crews needed" So is it to hard to out a crew up in a hotel like Virgin do at many ports......
Is there something in the EBA that says crews must be at there home port of a night?

Just heard from a mate that although J* are saying that this big move or shuffle of the chairs will result in no new jobs, or promotions, why are they offering jobs to new hires to start in Darwin in a month or so as f/o's??? I now of atleast 2 guys who have been offered jobs with Jetstar based in Darwin, and they were asking them to be on course in 4 weeks !!!!!
Is this because they are thinking they wont get enough guys to go up there??!!
Sounds like the management are telling the troops one thing, and doing the opposite!!!!!
