There should be a flood of complaints to Bourke Street from bypassed FO’s who meet the current OM1 command experience requirements.

EBA 19.3.5

If Jetstar promotes a pilot over a more senior pilot, the more senior pilot will retain his/her position on the seniority list and will be advised in writing of the reasons prior to publication of the allocations. If the more senior pilot disputes Jetstar’s assessment, and the pilot prima facie meets the criteria for appointment to the position concerned and has bid for that position (including a standing bid), they may elect to dispute the matter and Jetstar may be required to demonstrate why the pilot should not be paid the salary applicable to the position concerned.

Should be easy money due to Jetstar’s lack of forward planning, (has anyone laid eyes on Jetstar’s forward planning department)? Or have the JPC been complicit in allowing this to happen – stand by for 6 promotions to cushy jobs.

EBA 19.3.6

To the extent that it is necessary to overcome immediate problems of crew shortages arising when additional equipment is introduced, Jetstar may need to utilise pilots out of order of seniority. Jetstar will consult with the JPA on each such occasion on the conditions that will be applied.

Looks like the glory days are returning and we will see our career prospects back to where they were a year ago!

That's just fantastic news!

It almost makes me forget about:
a.The overwhelming vote of no confidence in the J* CEO.
b. Offshoring of pilots to New Zealand & Asia.
c. The dead dog MOU.
d. Senate enquiry into training standards
e. poor engagement levels.
f. Stagnation of career opportunities in mainline with 15+ years to command.

The sun sure is shining upon us.

...On the other hand, Flight Crew expressed some areas of concern...

A temp upgrade and transfer out of seniority to cover a shortage that cannot be filled from any other base OR is it to avoid paying out another forced move when Perth closes?
