The Australian Federation of Air Pilots says the union's Jetstar pilots will undertake four-hour work stoppages on Saturday and Sunday and a range of lower-level bans from December 14 to 20.The pilots' action comes after baggage handlers and ground staff stopped work on Friday at Sydney Airport, Melbourne's Tullamarine and Avalon airports, and in Brisbane, Cairns and Adelaide.
Jetstar said the disruption had not badly affected flights on Friday because they had minimised fallout by cancelling 30 services in advance. Workers who walked off the job on Friday have pledged to do it again next Thursday should their demands not be met.
