It will be interesting to see who goes where considering 767 F/Os are going to the 380 as S/Os rather than the 737.
Of course some of the 737 slots will go to 64 year old 747 Captains.
The 747 will still be over staffed.
At least some new Captains on the 737 will be happy to have changed seats.

One F/O went S/O A380 when they had the seniority to be F/O A330!
Big pay rise. No responsibility. Better destinations. More time off.
And you get to spend half the flight in the bunk on your back getting paid overtime to dig for prime nose gold.

As the MOU has provided so inclined QF pilots with opportunities over the last few years, it will provide JQ pilots with such opportunities down the track. I'm guessing a JQ number would get you a 737 FO slot or (if it exists) a 767 residual slot maybe. However, probably in 10 years or so it will get you an A330/787 command if those slots exist. I can't for the life of me understand why an eligible JQ pilot (who would already have a command) would want to get rid of the MOU now. It doesn't cost you anything if you've already got your command and it can only provide benefits down the track.
Ineligible JQ pilots are the ones leading you down the garden path on that one.

So any guesses how low the lowest will go?
I'm guessing that will be Perth based stuff this time?
The new base really throws all guesses out......
What's the word on street. A lot of 767 crew/ east coast must be a bit jaded. Not a lot about if you are not prepare to move

There is only 130 Jetstar Pilots who have access to the MOU.
If it goes to vote, even if those guys want to keep it, the rest don't.
If the scope was broadened there may be more support for it. Right now, it's a waste of time for the other 90% of Jetstar guys, hence the lack if support.
It'll be gone this EBA unless it's derailed by the Irishman.

jetstar pilot.
The MOU slots are at the same clerks "in tray" as the JQ 787 slots and all other JQ promotions happening other than the Darwin quarantined base.
It's time that EVERY slot available both at QF & JQ are published & available to ALL crew per the MOU.
JQ guys & girls would certainly be in the running for 737 slots out of Perth & one would imagine not too far off 737 Commands in Perth.

I joined QF in 2002 and my seniority wouldn't get me within cooee of an A330 F/O position. If you are a JQ skipper who joined JQ the day JQ started in 2003 that would put you behind me in Q Group seniority. As such your seniority falls, at best, with a B737 F/O in Perth or S/O on the A330. I doubt you would even get an A380 S/O slot as these are being bid for by pilots senior to me.
Although since you're probably part of the entitled generation and expect to be given a command within 5 minutes of joining JQ I expect they should be creating an A380 command slot just to keep you happy.
How about a little bit if a reality check and get in F#%*¥G line pal!

The Jetstar MOU numbers wouldn't be anywhere close to any commands, as previously said possibly an F/O on the 737 but maybe even not...the time will come down the track where the numbers could throw up some possibilities so if I was in J* there's no way I would want the MOU deal thrown out.....
