"The airline has yet to get regulatory approval for its proposed launch and needs permission to fly its twin-engine planes up to 180 minutes away from emergency airports.
Qantas pilots, who are worried Jetstar will be used as a weapon to erode their pay and conditions - Jetstar pilots are paid up to $100,000 a year less - have urged the Civil Aviation Safety Authority not to grant the 180-minute approval, for safety reasons

."But did you read The Australian yesterday? Basically the article was saying that it was an attempt at a stitch up by the pilots union.
Jetstar is paying its pilots $180K whereas Qantas pays its pilots $280K. The pilots are worried that Jetstar will influence overall market salary levels and so is (allegedly) causing problems for Jetstar by playing the safety card.
Unions playing dirty? In Australia? No way!!
