Well you are guaranteed to be home every night with Tiger. Jetstar has Darwin overnights and expect alot of time away from home if you go down Virgin's path.
Looking at around 105/110k for JQ/TT F/O, bit more with DJ. Tiger hopefully will be shortly paying more than JQ along with improved rosters for F/O's, all subject to negotiations with are still proceeding.

A few questions please.
Have a lot of the ex Ansett guys returned to Australia after going overseas? Are they going to Tiger or any of the other LCCs like Jetstar or Virgin?
At Virgin, do you start on the E170/E190, or is the boeing an option?
How do you get on the A332 at Jetstar? Is that senior compared to the A320? Jetstar is owned by Qantas, correct? Do those guys get the option to go over to Qantas, or do they have to stay at Jetstar?
Is MEL the primary hub of Tiger? Is the pay really that bad compared to the others?
Where do the Sunstate guys want to go after Sunstate? Do they tend to go to Qantas, or onto the LCCs?
Thank you and Cheers!

Is there a pay difference between the boeings and the EMBs? How many legs are normal per day? Do the E170/E190 pilots like the planes, or do they want to go to the Boeings? Also, do Virgin Blue guys fly Pacific Blue planes? And, can Virgin Blue pilots bid the 777s at V Australia? Are those senior pilots flying those 777s? Cheers!

There is a pay difference between the 737 and EMB enough that some of the EMB guys want to go over to the 737. However there is a EBA due soon so all that is negotiable.
Sectors vary from 30 mins to 6 hours, with EMB doing more shorter sectors on average than the 737. The number you do depends on what you bid for. You bid shorter sectors you will do about 4 a day. If you bid long sectors you will probably do about 2 day.
VB at the moment wet lease for Pac Blue for Bali and Phuket.
Voz is a separate company all together and you will have to apply like everyone else and resign from VB. Not to sure of the finer details there. Voz guys are predominately expats with a few VB guys in there. At the moment you will probably have better conditions and more money at VB but that could change soon as Voz are trying to negotiate some sort of a EBA and the VB one is due soon.
