Jetstar is preparing to make major flight schedule changes through January in anticipation of pilot strikes continuing into the new year, as it braces for pilots to walk off the job this weekend
.
Jetstar is yet to tell customers if any flights will be cancelled this weekend, or how services will be affected, with a decision expected by the end of Wednesday. It is the first time Jetstar pilots have taken protected industrial action since it was founded 15 years ago, and it comes as industrial tension across the Qantas group rise to their highest level since Alan Joyce's grounding of the Qantas fleet in 2011.
International pilots will not operate Boeing 787 Dreamliners from their home base between 2.30pm to 6.30pm on Saturday or between 9.30am and 1.30pm on Sunday.
