Jetstar NZ A320 FO
Hi Ppruners, Anyone got any info regarding Pay and Conditions for J* NZ A320 FO. Are they on a separate EBA to J* Aus? If so where can this be found?

The Jetstar NZ pilots are on their own seperate CEA for NZALPA members. When you join you automatically go onto the CEA (collective employment agreement), you then have 90 days to join NZALPA and if you don't your contract becomes an IEA (individual employment agreement) and you are on your own. I think they have around 95% union membership. The CEA is currently under negotiation as the current one expires in March.
I dont have a copy of current CEA but a brief outline is:
1st year A320 FO : $97,000 base + $3,000 when Queenstown qualified.
Overtime above 65 hours per month of $130 per hour
Overnight allowance of approx $120 per 24 hours.
No DTA at this stage.
Performance bonus can be paid when the company feels like it, they have had one paid in the last 3 years.
5 weeks leave + stats (8 days).
Staff travel in line with Qantas policy so is quite good, very cheap domestically in NZ.
5 years probably about right for a command but that could reduce due to an expected exodus of Qantas guys back to mainline over the next 18 months.

Not 100% sure but from what I've gathered from various sources its salary sacrifice but I stand to be corrected.
On another note, I just had a phone interview yesterday...anyone else had one or progress to the next stage? Any help would be appreciated

Best of luck with the next step 00000111,
Interesting to note that Jetstar have now changed the location of the job.
'Various locations' instead of NZ based. I wonder if they weren't getting enough bites at first? Also heard there's 15 or so cadets starting in SY!! Not great for direct entry candidates.

I applied a week ago and my status went to under review on my profile when I checked this week on the website. Currently TP Training Capt NZ based 6000hr+(Hold new oz part 61 Licence too). Does anybody know if I hold a good shot at a phone call.

I got called for a phone interview with less than that. I understand they are short now and a few more airframes for NZ on the horizon as well, so potentially plenty of jobs coming up.
I get the impression there are plenty of Australian guys and girls lining up to move over the ditch for these jobs so plenty to compete with...

Don't get too worried. Two weeks could be a month or more in Jetstar world.
They may have put the recruitment on the back burner while they plan training. I know they couldn't get sim time for type ratings until about March.
They're still desperate for crew over there..... I was over for 6 days this month..... Two weeks last month.....

Not the same position as others who have phone interviewed already but I got a missed call a couple of weeks ago. She asked me to call her back which I did but it went straight to answering machine. Tried another 3 times over next few days then gave up! Seems something has definately changed since then.

They have probably cancelled recruitment again. It has happened to me twice before in Australia. Because I had the pre-interview or psychometric testing and had started the recruitment process, I had to stand down for another whole year even though I never failed it.

Does anyone actually know what is going on here ? Have they hired anyone ? I have understood they are desperately short of crew and with new routes coming. Also soon to potentially loose a few F/Os to air nz.
I know jetstar NZ put the call out on the wire for those interested several months ago but did any actually get interviewed ?
I haven't heard of any which is why I ask...
PM would be fine

They have hired 16 FO's for the NZ operation, I think the majority of those (12) are straight from the Cadet program as CASA and the CAA have signed off on Cadets being based in AKL.
You are right though, since that hiring there have been a number of FO's resign to go to the desert and more will go if Air NZ hire externally again so there will be more recruitment in the next few months.
