New 'Bonza' LCC launches middle 2022 with B737 MAX
You can thank VA and ZL Management for driving that agenda (or achievement to them). 2022 and we are paying wages from a decade ago.
In the long run it will bite them all on the @rse. Very important that Team JQ gets a decent agreement up, at this rate they and QF will one the only employers of choice long term, the others will be too busy trying to outdo each other on how little we can pay our pilots.

Alternately Jetstar Management will just give the middle finger and say ‘it is 2%, nothing more’.
Seperately , anyone who takes 175k for a left seat for this clownshow deserves what they get.
No really, I reckon you're awesome, most people think you're a dick, not me, you're ace.
You think that’s bad you should see what they pay the Canadian offshoot ‘Flair’
LHS $118k
RHS $70k
Nothing else on top of that unless you work days off, overtime. You will make more at Air Asia Indonesia.

Looks like it will get here the same time as the Qantas groups first A321 Neo! I wonder which one will get the most media attention. I think Bonza might have had a bit of luck with their launch timing, every other domestic airline in Australia is definitely on the nose at the moment, plenty of people looking to try something new.
Fluffy media coverage won’t help get a AOC.
You launch on CASAs watch which could be this calendar year, next, or never. You will get a rough idea September ish where this will be going. Silence from all parties indicates Canberra is back and forth asking more questions.

Bonza will have their work cut out for them and any sign of a good load on one of the $hit routes they’re operating any one of the 3 will put an airframe there.
Tim Jordan has already said he will be going to the ACCC should one of its competitors launch alongside them on a route (doubtful, just let them die by themselves). What are the chances the ACCC saying to Jetstar.... no you cannot operate on this route because Bonza is and they need to make money. Coles builds a new store and Woolworths follows a few years later if they get wind of some success from a new location. Nobody jumps up and down citing terminal decline. It's just business. I mean, I hope they don't go down the path of the Rex Playbook ie full time whinging. Don't bitch and moan us about your problems on some fantasy led network. Nobody asked them to start a low cost carrier.
ACCC would only be interested if there was a clear predatory motive to the addition of flights. That is they were clearly aiming to operate at a significant loss just to push an operator out of business. If an operator joins a non regulated route and offers what would be considered normal competitive fares without excessive dumping of seats there would be no cause to do anything about it. So if Bonza started to make a profit with reasonable loads then a competitor joined the fray to take some of that away for their own business there would be nothing they could do.
Who would want to work 75 hours a Month!
It’s not GA anymore, the aim of the game is to get paid the most for working the least. Jetstar pilots need to get into some PIA ASAP. Join the engineers and come at the company from all angles!

AFIK base for an A320 skipper is 225K before overtime and allowences, so Scooter might want to check his "facts"
