Vista Jet Hiring CL 604 & 850
I see that Vista Jet are still hiring for these positions.
Their advert lists the criteria quite clearly and that includes the need for a type rating.
However I know they have recently taken on a non-rated nil jet time direct entry FO who will have his type rating paid for.
Er??
No sour grapes just an overwhelming sense of frustration that the process of looking for a job is challenging enough without this going on.
Thoughts please...

Welcome to aviation. If you are surprised, dismayed or feel hurt by this at VJ, you have a shed load to learn. It's not all on the practical exam.

When a company advertises for a position, you often see the dreamed or ideal version of the candidate. If you feel you can do the job just apply. But then you'll also need luck.

I just applied.
Rated, and current on the 850 with experience flying the 850 in VIP operations.
But I don't nearly fit the time requirement.
How stringent are they on this point?
Do they value experience on type, and in VIP ops highly?
Any input would be appreciated

Applied to VJ early summer. Just recently got PFO. I'm not type rated but meet all the hours mins (airline TP FO at the mo) and I know they take on non-typed guys so wondering if anyone knows what's happening internally?
Are there enough TR guys out there at the moment or is the recruitment policy just completely random/need to know someone?

I applied last summer when I was made redundant. (They were hiring at the time). I was available immediately, 7,500.00 hours total with over 1,500.00 hours on type. I received a Dear John! Not sour grapes at all, just bemused that I didn't get a look in....I work freelance now, very happy
