Jetstar Aus/NZ Positions
The last NJS Pilots I had beers with said something along the lines of “this is the most dysfunctional puppy patting industrially grubby bunch of muppets they’ve ever been involved with”.
My understanding is Jetstar is on similar par… but what Aussie Airline isn’t these days.

exactly, I am sick of being presented with 29B when I check in for a paxing duty and the look of distain when I ask if an emergency exit is available. Business on Qantas doesn’t worry me, a guaranteed extra legroom seat with the ability to checkin online when travelling in my own carrier would be nice, Yet when raised with the Company they tell us it is a ‘cost’ issue, well with the advent of longer flights and trips I for one expect to be taken care of on those 5 hour paxing sectors.

I feel sorry for the poor guy, if pay and conditions were better the gentleman would have thought twice about what he could be losing.

Bulls@#$%t. Plenty of F/O's I fly with are buying houses and new cars. In the same way I don't have sympathy for the Captains who get the sack for changing the altitude knob with their feet. If you are that desperate for more money at Jetstar you chase days off or work at Bunnings. Trying to import drugs from Bali as a pilot has more to do with greed and quick riches than the base salary.
I also feel sorry for the F/O's you fly with.

They should consider themselves lucky if they only loses the job. Get caught on the other end, and life is now over. And if caught here, well ask the Malindo Cabin Crew currently in Barwon Prison how life is going.

The pilot regardless of their thoughts on income could have an addiction just bloody lucky they didn’t get pinched in Bali other wise there would be white overalls and a line up waiting.
Either way, the pilot in question knows right from wrong and deserves to lose their job and all other ramifications thrown their way!

We will never know the driving decision for him to do what he has done (apparently), but I do feel sorry for him, meth is absolutely evil when it get a hold of you.

None of the articles mention a positive drug test just a positive test in his luggage and some dodgy photos for which the AFP confirmed no criminal charges?
Drugs in his system, drugs on his phone, drugs shelved? yeah going for that quick riches champ. That's a dark and slippery path he has taken, feel grateful you don't know what its like.

No need to feel sorry for my F/O's, they get treated as professional pilots and are valued for their contribution. I do however have zero sympathy for anyone, regardless of rank, who decides that the job is just a means to enable their addiction or personality failings.
Vote 1: Death penalty

Some interesting characters in QF Group Pilot
Certainly more than one or two might have returned to Australia
after taking out Bank Loans overseas & getting on an Aeroplane & leaving
Declared bankrupt Overseas, but that's no big deal , just transfer to SH asap
Proper & detailed reference checks needed

Agreed. The sympathy should be directed at the remaining hard working, honest crew who may well get fxxked over on a regular basis at the end of a long duty as they may now deemed a potential risk and no longer receive professional courtesies from border force.

Now thats funny! Personality failings and airline pilots. Not everyone but certainly enought to worth a mention.

Why don’t we burn them at the stake while chanting “Witch, Witch, Witch”.
One knows half the truth, and zero insight, yet are willing to cast stones from a distance. The fact is, we don’t know. And to cast such a large dispersion of folly and buffoonery does beggar belief.
