Well done, a positive for Jetstar
Some real positive stuff here "folks".
No Cookies | dailytelegraph.com.au
What an excellent write up and display of pride and dedication to Jetstar. Right at a time when all Jetstar pilots are deciding on such an important vote, this is spread in the Daily for all proud Aussies.
With all the discussion going on about your EBA, negative and positive, I believe one must reflect and appreciate your fellow colleagues in the paper and expressing what great benefits Jetstar provide to all their pilots. Well done guys and great stuff for displaying your children for all joe public to see.
Something I believe the Daily must have inadvertantly overlooked is the fact that certain dedicated “folk” are actually part time and share a roster. One is home for two weeks, then the other is.
I’m sure the rest of the Australian work fraternity would also like to arrange such ‘entitlements’ and share their professions weekly work schedules around the kids. Hopefully, this will be the start of such great benefits that even Carla enjoys.
No doubt, all Jetstar pilots can appreciate what implied motivation and cause is on public display here and simply say……Thank you….. for a job well done.

Smiling faces... why?
This is no shot at the 2 Pilots in the article. They are both lovely people.
Would it be at all possible that Jetstar's rostering practices favours some and not others?
Would it be possible that some MFO's more than others go above and beyond in helping out some Pilots more than others?
Would it be possible that the MFO and Crew Planning have made it somewhat easier for these 2 Pilots to be rostered appropriately to be able to manage 3 children?
Madame Bandit, they don't job share! They are both Flexi-line Pilots and some how always manage to not be working at the same time.
It's okay for some. The article maybe good PR. Madame B, please don't go about promoting Jetstar as an advocate for good rostering practices and assisting Pilots with families. You're starting to sound like Carla dropping the kids off to school.
Stick with the facts. Some have it easier than others. That is why Jetstar's rostering practices are inconsistent and management do not treat everyone in a fair and equitable manner.
You have been exposed Jetstar. Think it over.

Holy Moly, it sounds like they never see each other from that article.
It must be fun having a date night when one is coming off earlies and the other has signed off at 3am.

What an embarrassment.
Obviously part of the grooming for the greasy pole climbing.
And as Madame alludes to. Next time one or two want to plant their private lives all over a newspaper for every deviate to look at in the due process of engratiateing themselves , keep your young kids and particularly their faces out of it.

WTF is the point of that article!! How embarrassing!!
I'm not trying to persuade the JQ pilots which way to vote but to give a heads-up as to what you can expect.
Yet I know of another couple with a baby that get NO assistance whatsoever and are always struggling with conflicting rosters. Their FDM has told them there is no favouritism allowed. Good on these too, but to me this is just a sign of an airline with rostering practices that favour the chosen few and the rest can get f&@ked. It kind of offends me that Jetstar is represented in this article as some kind of new age company that will accommodate people's lifestyles when it is us who are expected to change our lifestyles to accommodate some pretty dodgy rostering.

Jetstar can't be totally dysfunctional when their PR Department just pulled off a strategically brilliant coupe!!
I must be reading a different article because to me it sounds like their lifestyle would be terrible and could only be sustained for a few short years before something had to give.

I think the 'roster assistance' theme came from a corporate email which said something along the lines of 'this couple shows what a flexible and great workplace Jetstar is to work for'.
