QLINK to get a new Manager Standards and Development (CAR 217 leadership)
Qlink have announced a new appointment to the position of Manager Standads and Development (CAR 217 leadership).
Apparently a Senior Checkie on the A330 at JetStar.
Make of it what you will, interesting times.

All bases will receive a model of a C Series
Crew will be allowed once a month to sign out the model and run around the crewroom with it making brrrrrrrrm noises.
This will be assessed for enthusiasm and authenticity of brrrmmm noises

Hold up one tick!!
Not again....
NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING has been ordered, so all of those who are perpetuating delusions of grandeur - back in your boxes. The previous CAR217 manager was ex-Ansett and Gulf Air with substantial Airbus and Boeing experience, so how does this new guy make a stand out difference?
Oh to be a pilot and to be so friggen naive...
Rant over

The old "jet" chestnut.............
Eastern and Sunstate have been getting jets for the last 20 years.
Well, now that Sooty's gone to finish off of mainline, and the snake's gone west, you might just be in with a chance
Good luck, boys and girls

Well you wanted to be jet pilots, now careful what you wish for...rumour has it jet or not you'll be doing a lot more flying and spending a lot more time on the road. Kiss the regional lifestyle goodbye

Sorry.......
The Manager of Standards and Development is being sourced from where?
NASA? FAA? EADS? JAA?
Did that really say Jetstar?
if the imaginary jets have a TOGA detent maybe he can show them how to use it for a missed-approach?

Hey Dragun, belt up or that verbal diarrhea you're dishing out will get things dirty... 
Few points that need to be corrected after that sweeping statement you bleated from your high horse;
- like I keep on saying, NOTHING has been ordered
- The regional jet scales on each EBA are introductory rates (which has been discussed over and over again...) Same left handed remarks were thrown at Virgin Pilots when they started in 2000. Now they're the company every man and his dog want in on.
- Just researched the EBA of another jet operator - Cobham. Now I know that the lads and ladettes there are going through their (albeilt painful) negotiations but as I see it with the NJE (not the NJS) agreement that:
First Year FO - $84667
Skipper - $153940
And if you want to look at the NJS agreement ballpark -early 70k for FO (and yes, well aware that the company has offered to match the NJE agreement, well done boys and girls)
Just looked at the Sunstate EBA - Eastern is very much the same because would you believe it, two pilots groups actually agreed not to undercut eachother!
In FY2014 if the type were to be introduced
FO - $94190
Skipper - $144908
So Dragun, I think you'll find that the QLink rate is on par with the market. Disgrace? It is in the States when their drivers are on food stamps.
Over to you...
