Jetstar NZ News????
Any more news on the NZ gig??? Have heard they have filled some capt positions , and have had no problems getting the required f/o numbers.(could be some movement throughout mt cook/eagle/nelson very soon with guys moving onto jet*!!)
Any improvements with the package etc ??
Any improvements with the package etc ??
Rumour is that they only needed 37 F/O's and had nearly 100 guys/gals that did well in the interviews. With that in mind they are going to offer a reduced salary (approx 10%) to fifty or sixty and see if they can get the numbers. Starting salary now $57k.
If that doesn't work they still have plenty that are keen on the initially discussed salary.

People will do it..Just look at the uptake JQ and V got for those positions they so elegantly renamed CRUISE FIRST OFFICER!!
As long as people jump at these positions they will continue to offer less and less..Its appalling really..

Have people lost their minds. Don't worry about the race to the bottom for terms and conditions, think we are there.
You are going to fly a jet for $57K, and also correct me if I am wrong but also pay for a endo on the A320 aswell. Even if there is no endo costs, $57k, for an A320. You have to be joking.

No, the race to the bottom is when they introduce unpaid line training for 50,70,100 sectors depending on experience!
Thats when they hit fifth gear careering to a new low!!!!
How long will it be?

57K.........H'mm luxury
When I started I had to pay owner for the opportunity to come to work.
Lodging was under a piece of cardboard in middle of active runway, and if I got back on time, the aircraft owner would thrash me to within a inch of my life, and relegate me to sleep under a sheet of newspaper, near where they used to empty the honey carts.
..............and if I told the kids of today this, they would not believe me.
Apologies to the Monty Python team

Thats sounds a bit better....whats the DTA and when does it apply? There is probably an extra ten k in DTA alone. Plus the incentive pay Palau mentioned makes it more like 85k....still 15k short of all the other narrow body operators in town though.

DTA, I didn't ask and wasn't mentioned.
There was a 5k bonus that they expected you to achieve.
As a turbo prop capt this is a 20k pay drop without adding in the endorsement!.
Time to talk to the wife.

80-85 is not possible flying domestic around n.z.....that came directly from the recruiting manager..
also the bonus is payable "at the discretion of jetstar" (how it is worded in the contract)
the management of this outfit are a joke and anyone who accepts this a clown..

DTA of $5.00NZD only paid on an overnight, other than that no DTA. Ask Jet* management how many overnights you will have? I'd say diddly.
FO salary and bonuses exactly 50% of Capt. A piss take! Industry first.
You won't do anywhere near 70hrs domestic. can't do it and you won't.
If you think the company will pay your bonus have a rethink. Not guaranteed so I'd bet my left nut they won't in times like these.
Pay for your own Jepps, medical etc. You're all better off keeping your current gigs.
For the mugs about to jump into their fantastic new career flying a big shinny jet......good luck chaps, chocks away!!

You seem to forget that "domestic" NZ flying now includes Australia, and vice versa.
There will be lots of overnights, as the crews will be doing a LOT of Australian sectors (and replacing QF drivers and JQ Aus drivers).
Move your family to NZ and get paid NZ dollars, but you still get to fly back home for work!!!
