Interested to know if new hire AUS based JQ Cadets are placed onto the Aus EBA or NZ/overseas?
I understand there was the AIPA legal action which succeeded in securing the current (at the time) cadets a place on the AUS EBA, what about new guys?

5 days sick leave a year? This is half the usual standard for most jobs!
So.....you're allowed to have a single minor cold once per 365 days? And no other minor ailments. Or just fly sick......
On ya' Jetstar!

Yep, Dutchroll. Unfortunately Jetstar NZ has just based its contract on the legal minimums set out in the Employment Relations Act her in NZ (which is crap in most areas). 5 sick days is just the national requirement under the law. It is nowhere enough, as you say ONE cold or flu in the year and you are out of sick leave for the remainder

Any progress?
New contract currently under negotiation between NZALPA (95%) union membership and the company.
I heard an (unconfirmed) rumour this week that a senior HR manager had let slip that the Aussie EBA figures in Kiwi dollars was a not impossible outcome...

When it's all said and done i am led to believe that the current conditions will have a skipper doing about the same (in Kiwi dollars) as an OZ skipper. Can anyone shed any light on this?
The extra hourly rate kicks in at 65 hours as opposed to 75 hours in OZ.
Either way it can only get better.
BTW does anyone happen to know the comparitive wage of a Air New Zealand 320 Skipper?. If an agreement were to be arbitrated on in NZ then this is the comparative wage that would be used.
Any update to where these negotiations are at?

Rosters
What are the rosters like if based out of Auckland or Christchurch? How many overnights and what routes do they fly? I have herd they are better than the PB rosters.

standard
The rate (before the incentive kicks in) is about NZD 203.4k, after Nov2011
Edited to add..."at the 12 year rate" (few, if any, would not be on this rate)

Hurry up and WAIT
Hey Beau,
If you wait for 'Jetstar' - son of Qantas ie. better than the rest (read best)- you will collect your (delayed) pension first. I hear people who applied back in Jul 2011 have still not been called for an interview- BEFORE any of you start, these are 10,000hr Capts with world wide experience, not just Aussie SHARK PATROL pilots. Has anyone told Jetstar that in Europe and N America 6mth contracts are a standard thing ie. 6mth Europe SUMMER or a 6mth N American WINTER. They advertise approx 3mths before the season start and have pilots released to line within 3mths- and that includes LVP. The Downunder fraternity would not know what LVP is. They only have Cat1 approaches in sunny Oz. I also hear the 'assessment' includes a 'Behavioural Interview' with the 'People and Culture Team'. Can anyone decode what the F*** that is all about ? One can only guess its the latest BULL$hit for HR and some pissy wissy Qs on "what do you do at parties?" or "give me an example when you saved the world from destruction ?"
Not for me Beau. I enjoy the world too much to be immersed in the fish tank politics of Oz aviation.
