Jetstar Cabin crew

My understanding is that to work in Ausralia you need an appropriate visa. I understand that foreign cabin crew working for Jetstar Asia are doing a tour of duty domestically on Jetstar Australia. The issue is not pay and conditions that these workers receive but foreign workers taking Australian jobs. Allowing the free transfer of labour across borders Through time and market forceswill have the effect of reducing pay and conditions for all workers in Australia as the pool of workers is far greater in asia then here. Conceivably this could be done with Licensed Engineers as well. The new licensing system seems to support this process.
Fed Sec this issue needs to be addressed through the combined weight and association of ALAEA the Australian pilots federation and the Flight Attendent Association. I would think that this use of foreign labour is in breach of Australian Law and requires a legal response.

One would think that the operation of this "domestic sector" may be in breech of visa and other "immigration" type issues.

It would certainly seem as though the issue is worthy of some professional advice.

Section 33 of the Migration Act has a broad reach re air crew.

I am thinking that they might be waiting until after 24 August. Better to not give Joyce an excuse to send more work offshore and if we take action after then because they have attacked us the peoples will be on our side.

In my opinion, it's all over by then.

Why it's the 236th day of the year in the Gregorian calender.

It is also the anniversary of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, and the Annivesary of Air Transat Flt 236 that ran out of fuel over the Atlantic ocean in 2004. (And the terror explosions on the airliners near Moscow in 2006).

Google more, post less!!!

Thanks for NOTHING as$hol*

I hardly ever post now because of people like you.

Just on these 2 threads about QF because as I said, IF you could read, my Wife is flying Qantas on the 25th and I am worried about all the talk here on PPRuNe about something BIG happening on the 24th.

Unfortunately it's people like Ngineer who have made these pages little more than drivel in the greater scheme of things.

Post a contrary view and you are branded a company stooge, ask for information and you are vilified.

You seriously have to wonder at times how we manage to maintain a professional appearance when we have so many numskulls in our industry.

Maybe I was a little harsh, but I was just trying to find out what is the big deal about August 24th everyone is talking about, PURELY because I have already booked my Wife to travel QF on the 25th, NO sinister reason, just concerned that she will be able to fly QF that day, and safely.

August 24th is the day Alan Joke announces his plans for Qantas' future, or should I say Onestar's future. No immediate impact expected, however, in the months after expect major changes.

I think Ngineer was just pointing out that lots of bad things have happened on August 24. Qantas are announcing changes to their business on that day. I don't think he was having a go at anyone apart from the CEO.

I have a very good sense of humour thank you, but NOT where the safety of my Wife is concerned.

Thank you, that was what I was trying to find out, though more details would be nice.

Hopefully as ''her who must be obeyed'' is flying out on the 25th and returning the 31st she will be okay.

Okay, thank you also Steve.

Maybe I am a little too sensitive when it comes to the safety of my Wife, but I have had her for 42 years and I do not want to have to find another one.

And YES there is NO danger she will read this.
