Jetstar quietly drop their requirements
Minimums don't really mean much it's the average experience of those being hired. QF minimums have been at 500 forever but they don't actually hire many (if any) people with that sort of experience.
They are not lowering their requirements, they are just having to look harder for the sort of people they need. They don't want to exclude someone suitable just because their hours may be a bit short of what they would like.
Ten years ago they could set the bar high and choose from experienced people. Now in order to get what they want they have to look at those with less experience.
1500 hrs good in the sim, easy to train, good attitude = hired
5000 hrs poor sim, difficult to teach, bad attitude = rejected
