For what it is worth, he went JitConnict in the end due to the 737 endorsement being more useful than DC9.

Thanks for the replies.

VD, 737 is very marketable, that's why so many JC guy's are leaving. Heard a few more off to Airworks B733 ops in BNE.

Is it true ALL 733s will be converted into freighters for AaE, with the JC fleet to eventually consist only of 734s? What effect does the likelihood of Jetstar NZ have on this? Surely that could be a very strong business model over there?

For anyone still in doubt about the long term prospects of Jetconnect I refer you to the words of Alan Joyce quoted in the Australian.
"Our Christchurch operations are really going very, very well and domestic New Zealand and extra flying across the Tasman fall into a category we would want to look at as well."
The reason many guys are leaving is that they dont want to be part of the impending train wreck.

Staff Travel

Does anyone know the staff travel policy for JC. What about commuting policy?

Thanks

I wish that was the case. But I'm a kiwi, and jet jobs are not that plentiful here.

Got offered an interview about 12 months ago with 2900 hrs and 950 jet

Turned it down when they asked for cash up front for the rating.

Full QF staff travel but no interlining. No allowance made for commuters. Not realistic to commute from Oz.

Redflags

Apart from from your 'Jump Seating' qualifications are you in a position to criticize a crew like this? Particularly a crew(s) who have kindly let you jump seat after you've begged to be sitting in the front with them..

No crew is 100% perfect but as a jump seater you don't have the right to slag them off. Did you have the balls to critcize them to their face? Somehow I doubt it.

Chill.

PS. Redflag... I've read some of you other posts and you really need to get out a bit more.

PSS. I see Redflags has deleted his offensive post preceeding this one.

The last of the old twitching AN corpse has still got a hold on this operation, therefore mismanagement reigns. There are plenty of other jobs out there.

Can anyone answer these questions?

1 How many overnights per month on average?
2 Are they still short of crew and likely to recruit this year?
3 What is the most likely basing, AA or WN ?

Thanks in advance.
