I was surprised to learn JQ withdrew from the MEL-SIN-MEL route 2 weeks ago.

Connections on the other end probably count. I remember Tiger Singapore said Perth was one it’s best performing routes profit wise. Yet Jetstar said it was one of its poorest performing. They have had issues making much in Asia work for a while now. |

Interesting how some laugh at the possible loss of 50 jobs....
Obviously not your job that is on the line otherwise you would not be so flippant about it. |

50 has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it? A good round number to send a strong message to all.
It’s been used before against pilots: The Stalag Luft III murders were war crimesperpetrated by members of the Gestapofollowing the "Great Escape" of Allied prisoners of war from the German Air Force prison camp known as Stalag Luft III on March 25, 1944. Of the 76 successful escapees 73 were recaptured, mostly within several days of the breakout, 50 of whom were executed on the personal orders of Adolf Hitler. These summary executions were conducted within a short period of recapture.. |

They have had issues making much in Asia work for a while now. Over a decade of no tangible profit, other than some window dressing leases to cover substantive operating losses. Grand strategy right there. The Singaporeans quite rightly laughed them out of the place. |
Having to sack 50 pilots when there is a perfectly good MOU available...🙄 |
If they use the old 7 crews per aircraft numbers it’s not too far off. |
About the only smart thing that Geoff Dixon ever said was that “a fare that you can’t charge all the time is a sign of an unsustainable business”. The problem with the low fare model is that it doesn’t pass the test of increasing business costs. If JQ fares can’t cope with a reasonable increase in labour costa and conditions, charge more. Simplistic I know but what you charge has to cover your costs. |

Besides, if they did, they’d have to hire you again within a few months (as per the eba) as soon as hiring recommenced. With your old seniority number. So it’d essentially be a paid holiday. The long term plan always was for the 787s to go to mainline and replace the older 330s for domestic ops. From what I hear. Which could be wrong. Or not. However an all A320/1 fleet makes sense for JQ |

Can someone explain how the possible loss of 3 787s equals 50 loss of jobs and a further 50 demotions? How full of BS are these morons? When you’re next up in cruise with nothing to do, read your EBA (likely your first time) regarding the bit about seniority and reflect on how many crews (full compliment) per airframe an airline may have.... |
