Jetstar Aus/NZ Positions
Going off the list from last night, you will be either ML or SY initially, a lot of FO in those bases went to wide body. If your next question is command then it’s looking like 9yrs from same list and would be in SY, could be 10+ easy by end of yr as most commands are under 40yrs of age and as young as under 30 even. if the wide body sticks around lowest was about 4yrs. Commands are stretching further and further now, it could turn to be quicker at QF as their work force is older.

Can anyone shed light on when bases are allocated? Just curious if bases are assigned before you accept a job offer? Is mentioning you want a Melb base a big no-no during the interview? Also any guidance on how long a base transfer (Syd-Mel) would take? Thanks in advance all

Why are Jetstar pilots not initiating industrial action?
No flex takeoffs, full approaches with hold flown every approach and no working on RDOs would force them to the table.

I can only imagine there's a very limited time frame for the company to stop stalling and finally, after 4 years actually come to the party and give some sort of participation.
i can see the PIA application will be submitted in the next month of two, followed by actual action, whether its work to rule or significant actions similar to last time.
It's been well documented Jetstar have not bargained or participated in good faith, especially with their inflated and embarrassingly pathetic coasting's. The Fair Work Commission has also made comments on this so i guess when this does finally go to arbitration they will be less than patient with the Jetstar stalling tactics.

There was already a heap of people left over for propstar NZ who were already in the pipeline pre covid. I think they’re finishing them (or starting them?) off before any more NZ recruitment.
Remind me what happened last time? What I remember from 3 years ago was a lot of hot air and big talk but in the end the planes still flew and the opportunity to get a payrise was lost as Covid sucked the life out of the industry. But then again I may be missing the "big picture".
