JPJP, your obvious frivolity aside, the reason for the different terminology is the ATR, F100 and A320 (VARA) bonds are Skywest originated and the 737 and 777 were virgin blue originated - the VB bond originally being 30 months.
30 years to practice them what’s the rush, enjoy cheap American clothes!

Whats with HR these days ? They are like Paris Hilton , they are there because they say they are important ? Qantas , TAA and Ansett all started and run by airline people . The chief pilot put you under the spot light and your mates vouched for you . Now a 25 YO uni grad does not like your tone and your done ! Can’t see how it’s an improvement ?

Looks like Vara are recruiting DECs for Perth. There must have been pilots in the group who would have been interested in this position rather than recruiting externally?

Had an email Friday for 73 in NZ but unfortunately can't make the move. This is the second time I have received this offer in 6 months since being in the hold. I told them during the interview back in November last year that NZ wasn't an option for me and the 777 is my only avenue. Not sure whats happening when you choose your preferences. Doesn't seem to make a difference.
Paul Alfred, they make the offer irrespective of your stated “preference” as people often change their minds and get the shits when they offer the job to someone else “I would have taken that” besides preferences are just that preferences. They also ask you for your preferred base and that is not guaranteed either.
While moving to NZ might be a challenge getting on to the seniority list is, in my opinion, the highest priority.
The list dictates how your career progresses once you are in the airline, so while where you start might be important now, where you finish is probably more important. With so few widebody aeroplanes the bigger aircraft are more likely to be crewed by those further up the seniority list. The later you join the list the lower you are.

One would reasonably expect the 'cap' to be removed from the new EBA currently in negotiation. A substantial increase in salary and general conditions is also expected to appease the current ATR crew. If these aren't addressed then expect an exodus of the senior crew off the ATR (which would have a very negative effect on the sustainability of the ATR fleet as a whole)
Belongamick, even with a cap the seniority list dictates where you end up.
The cap might hold people on the atr for a while but it doesn’t slide their seniority, so to the point I was making, someone might spend a few years on the atr, but they will still have the number to get something else like a widebody later in their career.
A later number ultimately means more in front of you for those positions later on.

Man of Steel (sorry couldn't resist) ClarkeKent - I would be very surprised if VA 737 direct entry 737 positions opened up again in the short term, there are a bunch of SO's coming off freeze who have bids in for the 73, so I would expect them to get first crack.
There seems to be a bunch of new 777 SO's out and about lately so there have been a few courses done by the seems of it.
