Jetstar International Boot Camp.
Hot off the press.......
About 60 people called for stage 1 so far and all will be required to pay around $40,000 for the 330 rating. (i.e. no rated/ airbus experienced people in this group)
Standards and Training depts to be made up of a mix from QF and J*.
If current J* (non-management) 320 pilots wish to apply for International, training costs to be met by the pilot.
Pay scale; 330 Capt $140K fixed, F/O $75K.
Launch date Sept 2006.
Don"t shoot the messenger.

Might attract some ex-DJ EK drivers already pissed off with life in the sandpit and regretting their move after being cluster-shafted by the pommy management in Dubai.
So why buy a 330 rating when in a couple of years you'll need to buy a 787 rating??
Or am I missing something obvious.........

No, surely management wouldn't take that line Mud Skipper - if they tell is the sky is falling, then it really MUST be falling...

The snotmeister raises a good point. If you are not already rated then you need to fork out roughly 50-60% of your first years take home pay to get the job. Only to be told that after 18 months that you either need to pay for a 787 rating or ta ta...
Anyone getting the job WITH a rating would be in a similiar position after the A330's time is up. Will be interesting to see what sort of desperado is going to apply?

$40,000 X 60 = a healthy bottom line start up cost!
Some guy on G.A D&G reports that he is 37yrs, 4300hrs (2300 rotary) and has a stage 1 call up.
So what happened to all the Aussie; EK, Dragon, Vietnam, Asiana, SilkAir, Brunei, China Air, Air Malta etc, etc Airbus guys (plus the 100s of other non-Airbus, but Jet rated) who applied??
Interesting selection process.
UNOME, do you know how many 330s are going to International?

E.P.
That rotary bloke must know 5 people in the company!!!
Makes all the difference between 'suitable' and 'non suitable' according to 21st Century QF pilot recruitment doctrine.

Can anybody confirm this for a wide body long haul. I here that the QF sub 'Australian Airlines' allowances do not make you money like the good old days, (still QF) I presume that Jet* Intl will be the same. Do you think they will be flogged like the Jet* (aus) Brisbane crews are?
Now comparing to DJ’s approx $30k fees for job to J* $40k fees for job, (thats after you pay for the interview) how much to DJ’s pilots make?
