Is jetstar about to operate illegally in NZ?
Word on the street is Jetstar are about to send a heap of cadets over to NZ with less than the required hours to operate under the NZCAA rules for part 121 operation. Hmmm very naughty Brucie, this could potentially hurt!
Operating minimums for part 121 under NZCAA rules are 500hrs TT of which 100hrs must be ATO. Rules are as follows:
c) ANZA activities in New Zealand authorised by Australian
AOCs with ANZA privileges.
Section 28BD Compliance with civil aviation law
(1) The holder of an AOC must comply with all requirements of this
Act, the regulations and the Civil Aviation Orders that apply to the
holder.
(2) The holder of an Australian AOC with ANZA privileges must
comply with all requirements of the Civil Aviation Act 1990 of
New Zealand, and of the regulations and rules under that Act, that
apply to the holder in relation to the ANZA activities in New
Zealand authorised by the AOC.
Any ideas how Jetstar get around this rule? This could be another Singapore, oh dear Bruce, things not working out?

I think you will find that they are based there for pay purposes but will be flying in Oz. I have been told they will be paid 43K NZ but will have to pay back the training in AUD. They will be the new working poor.

Regardless of the fact if they are based in Australia or New Zealand, if they are flying on New Zealand domestic routes, Jetstar must adhere to the local rules and regulations of the NZCAA.
So to fly on NZ domestic routes, all part 121 FO's need a minimum of 500hrs TT and 100hrs ATO.

Pilots subsiding on food stamps. You thought it could only happen in America? Aviation new-world order is global. Perhaps someone can remind me what airline executives to pilots pay ratio was say 15 years ago??

And people entered this willingly? I did my best to warn people of this outcome, a carbon copy of the CTC/Easyjet cadet situation.

JQ156 CHC-MEL on Thurs morning was cancelled due no crew and JQ166 CHC-MEL on Fri was delayed due crew shortages. It appeared the JQ domestic aircraft use VH rego.

Lookleft,
You are right on the money re these sprogs on NZ T&C's but working in OZ on the local network. A friend of mine has a son going through this very process now and he(the son) was told if he applies for LWP from JQ NZ he can expect to get it, and stay in OZ on the JQ NZ T&Cs.
I have said before that this outfit is the cancer of aviation and been abused for saying it. Go figure.
I am staggered at the new lows this outfit continues to trumpet. I am even more staggered by the fact that there are idiots out there lining up for this cr@p.

Well jetstar legally can NOT put these pilots on a NZ contract if they do NOT have the legal requirement to fly as an FO in NZ regardless of if it is in a VH rego or NZ. If these guys can not legally work in NZ then surely the must have to go on the Australian EBA.
Unless of course jetstar are hiring people in direct conflict to the local Australian EBA.
As I've said before, Bruce thinks he is very smart but he's a money man and not an aviation man and he will find out very soon what happens when you don't treat your staff with respect and integrity, they all leave and aircraft get parked up.
We should start calling him nurse Bruce, he's putting bandaid's on deep cuts, but soon the bandaid's aren't going to stop the blood.

Diffrerence here with the example of Vincent operating ZK reg acft in Aus is that the NZCAA requirements for Part 121 are actually more restrictive than on the western side of The Tasman (in this example at least).
Wasn't aware of the 500 hour TT requirement for F/O's before operating 121 aircraft but was aware of the requirement to have 500 hours 121 time before operating as PIC on 121 aircraft. This is not a requirement in Aus (VH reg acft).

I hope NZ change that to 1500 hours and an ATPL to stop this bastardization by Australian companies.
I sick of reading about this ****e.
I hope the mexican chokes on his burrito.

GASP!
GG!! Tell me it isn't so!?!? Your hoping for help from New Zealand....?!?!? Jeez that must hurt to say that?!
For what it's worth, if you ask any of the newbies what they hope to achieve, it's always the same...."I'm going to get some experience and then go somewhere that pays well" Of course, what they fail to see is, with everyone out there for "experience" there is no longer a need for an airline to pay a descent salary....vicious circle springs to mind
As for the 100 hour ATO etc, I know a number of years ago in NZ when the industry was in full swing, CAA was pretty quick to give an exemption to that rule. So don't hold your breath that the NZCAA will stop the rot. Sadly.

Recently spoke to one of the current group of 4 Australian cadets about to start line training with JS .They are all from the 'advanced' cadet stream and have 500+ hours. Basically it seems they all had to sign NZ contracts and will be nominally based in CHC or AKL.They have been promised they can fly back in Oz but will have to take LWOP from Jetstar NZ and be based in Oz on a temporary contract at NZ rates!
Once again BB is treating the profession of pilot with contempt but is he trying to be too clever by far? This attitude he has to his current and future pilot group WILL come back to bite him!

Like every other pilot body, it will only come back to bite him when you all STAND UNITED. As much as I wish it to be so, good luck getting that to happen.
