Jetstar is to offer Australian Workplace Agreements (AWA) for future Pilot and Engineer recruits, which, according to the airline, would help support the airline's growth initiatives in both Australian and international markets by pursuing a more direct relationship across its workforce. The AWAs for new Pilot and Engineer recruits will be of five years in duration.
The carrier is using AWAs for the recruitment of new Pilots and Engineers entering the airline on conditions including terms and pay that will "broadly mirror" the current Enterprise Agreements (EBA) which separately cover existing Jetstar Pilots and Engineers.
Jetstar presently offers a range of workplace arrangements across its 1,600 strong workforce including collective union and collective non-union agreements, common law contracts and AWAs.
The airline has existing separate Enterprise Agreements with both its Pilot and Engineer groups developed in consultation between staff and Jetstar management.
Jetstar CEO Alan Joyce said that while there would be no change to the existing EBA arrangements now covering Jetstar Pilots and Engineers, the broader introduction of AWAs within the airline was "well suited to a young and growing company", which required workplace flexibility to underpin its next expansionary phase.
