How about these conditions to further entice you home!
Cannot blame anyone for considering a DEC in their home country, but you will want to read the contract carefully before committing.
Any dead heading/ paxing will be in Economy Class.
Maintain your own set of Jeppesens.
No Home Transport provided.
Intention is for 10 days off per roster period (read- month), contract actually reads 10 days per 6 months! Good luck argueing that one in 18 months time. Days off in slip port can also be counted as rostered days off
Rates of pay $147,809
From first full pay period on or after 01Aug2007 $152,243
From first full pay after 30Nov2008 $160, 701
FO's will be on 60% of this rate, Cruise FO on 60% of FO's rate - don't expect to have too many drinking buddies down route - they won't afford it!
Note. This pay rate is for any Wide body aircraft Jetstar will operate. No more pay for B787 (or A380 if applicable!). Must also pay for any new endorsement.
Remember this is a new Low Cost Long Haul Carrier - expect the appropriate low cost conditions.

This is ugly sounding. Reminds me of a friend from back home who described the pilot fraternity (no gender bias intended ladies) as " a bunch of people who wear spiked track shoes to work and use each other for astro-turf".
We are doin' it to ourselves...

Sounds more and more like Dubai construction firms. They employ you to help them get the A330 operation off the ground then demote you for your troubles. What do you think they will do with construction workers here in Dubai when they are no longer needed.....make out that they are absconding, hold onto their salary then deport them. Sound familiar? Thought we had it tough here but not much better in Oz unless you want to half you income and the rest. Bring on the 380!!!

There is a whole team of airline semi-pros that will be out of a job soon in Abu Dhabi, Chairman all the way down to the tea boy, they will even throw in a VPC in the grave, a real one stop shop drama included morrocan style, if jetstar wants it of course!

Herbie,
What goss do you have?... Give it to us.
Is the broom coming to long awaited dirty little corner of EY ?
Thankfully my favourite pigs bum has been terminated out of the ops building
and the air smells so much cleaner now I have observed!
(Edit)... Sadly just found out the porker was only shuffled sideways... enjoy my posts piggy I know you love to sit on your fat ass all day reading this forum crying about the nasty true happenings the slaves write!

I believe the J* package has been improved a bit to around 170K Aus, still not great but getting better. They have ambitious plans for expansion, including 787's going everywhere.

JetScar???? I dunno.....
Do they treat their pilots like Vice-Presidents of the company at JetScar?
Do you stay in 5-star hotels, on the "concierge" level (whatever the hell that is...
)?
I don't know if I could leave what I have here...

JetStar in Dubai
Does anyone know what venue JetStar will be using for their Recruitment Roadshow between 24th - 28th? 
If not for entertainment more than anything else considering some of the proposed Terms & Conditions of their EBA? Refer other Threads!

Jetstar only the begining of enmasse resignations
There is many companies looking for pilots now, the smart ones with bases and high salary as well as possibly job share will do well.
Example:
Rumoured that some senior guys are going to take there Jetstar offer of employment to HR and tear it up infront of them if they can provide at the least initially commuting rosters and a plan for bases ib the next few years otherwise goodbye.......................

O/S Bases or Commutable Roster.

If true, I hope that it doesn't happen again as it would set a dangerous precedent for others who might aspire to going home someday.
The Sands of time are shifting in the Gulf.
