Why? Remember when link we’re getting jets ‘imminently’, jetconnect were ‘definitely’ going to be flying the 787 and 737 within oz, cobham were ‘getting a320’s’ and ejets...jetstar we’re going to be flying the 787 in qantas colours.....
They may well get something to replace the f100. They won’t be replacing mainline. Every time there is a new type each group puts a case together. It’s always gone on, it’s just that more info gets out there these days. If anyone was to be worried, It would be jetconnect and cobham crew...mainline are still recruiting, there will be more jets coming, and the 737 will be around for a long time yet. Of course ‘jetstarpilot’, this may not suit your agenda if indeed you are a jetstar pilot, still hanging on to that dream of being a jetstar captain, but making less than a mainline FO.

Right on Que~
Wash rinse and repeat!
- Read the Qantas annual report into the 'value' of the F100.
- Why incur capex because they ordered too many A320 hand JQ model is saturated
- The mining bust is on, the mining boom long since gone, so makes complete sense to add additional capacity!
- Is there a mainline contract coming up soon? Panic the mainline group again, who will literally trip over themselves to give stuff up for the aircraft.
- Cobham PIA is hurting them, so wheel in next favourite leverage group. Jetconnect is done, so Network it is, or maybe Qlink who knows!

They need something to replace the little fokker, they are ancient, nah there's no worries being a mainline pilot atm, it's promotion paradise! A little quieter on the Jetstar front though...

What would happen if short haul guys stopped working days off, stopped being flexible and helping the company while they are short of pilots?
If I worked for Qantas IR, and I had 717 PIA in action and a 737 EBA coming up, what would I do? Hmmm...
When all they have is a hammer every problem a nail...
Nunc est bibendum
Years ago a JQ management guy went to QLink. That supposedly confirmed that QLink was going to get A320s and variations on the theme. Seven years down the track?
Fast forward a bunch of years and Network have asked for EOIs from current crew who have Airbus experience. So it may happen, or it may be a fact finding mission, or it may be an IR ploy, or it may be a combination of the above. I just know from history that nothing is ever quite what it seems and Network crew should be cautious as to what this means over the coming years.

I think the biggest threat is for us here. Here you will have a Qantas painted aircraft in the same class as the 738, with crew wearing Qantas uniforms, operating on routes that could operated by mainline aircraft and crew. Combine this with Jetconnect operating VH registered aircraft I think the concern here should be with us Mainline crew not Jetstar.
Thin edge of the wedge if you ask me, AIPA need to get on top of this quickly.
Hang on you lot, I'll be back in a minute.
