Why is it that the min hours for FO on jetbird.com is 280 whereas a lot of talk here of min 500?

Am I having illusions? I think that the question has already been answered two times now - but the answers seem to have disappeared!

If they are looking for highly experienced FOs, why not hire CPTs in the first place - there should be enough people on the market?

Me to start in the beginning of June

suitcaseman

I'm confused! In your previous post you stated you where starting the begining of June, its the 23rd of June now?

They obviously didnt say which year.

Fireboy

That post was made on the 20th May, I take it that he/she means this year

suitcaseman

Really! Thanks for clearing that up for me.

any Liar around here??

I can't see the justification for making something like that up...think you are barking up the wrong tree!

suitcaseman

That's maybe a bit harsh. I think he jumped the gun a bit. Those who have been in aviation a while realise that you can only believe it when you sit in the classroom the first day of the course.

I have contracts and even signed training bonds for conversions / jobs that have never materialised.

I understand there are some delays due to training aprroval of the Phenom.

Sim-ride? Interview?

Any info is welcome!

Cheers!!!!

Hi! I'm in the same position as Victor Charlie...And any answer would be more than welcome...
I can only recall reading or hearing about the phone interview, when one was asked only questions which were not related to aviation, such as the last book he/she read, etc...

if any one could help us...thank you very much!

suitcaseman

The telephone interview is very casual and laid back, not something you can really prepare for. They will also explain some items of the operation and check you are OK with it (bases and roster etc).

As long as you dont come across as a complete idiot you will probably make it to the proper interview. That takes the format of a group presentation, a general knowledge technical exam and then individual interviews - again, fairly relaxed and informal. They are a nice bunch so dont sweat it, just be yourself.

Hey guys, is anyone currently due to start flying with JB actually permanently moving to Germany and if so, what options are there for your wives and girlfriends (WAGs) regarding employment!!

Any other thoughts regarding living arrangements etc. would be interesting to hear about!

Cheers, JSR.

It seems they´re sending e-mails for the phone interview.
Any info from the happy selected ones to see if i have some chance...
I mean, quantity and quality of flying hours...

I would appreciate more in-depth details about the selection process.

Regarding the telephone interview: I looked through all JB threads and all I found is that the ask questions like: your favorite colour? The last book you read? Can you add some questions they ask?

Group presentation: what exactly happens there? General knowledge technical exam? Stuff like maths and physics or aircraft related questions? No psychological questions/logical tests or stuff like that? Maybe some examples.

Thanks to anyone who can give some input.
