Jetstar Recruitment

For those that are interested..

A mate of mine spoke to Jetstar Pilot Recruitment this morning and was advised that they are currently screening pilots with 5000+ hours for interviews and those with less hours will be assessed within the next 3 to 6 months. With only 2 people in HR screening, this could take a while!

I dunno about the 5000hr bit (as I know someone who recently started with them with around the 3K mark), however the way it was explained to me was that they are looking for around 140 F/Os during this push, with around 30 selected so far.

Horatio, knowing just how busy you can be throwing your coffee at everyone in your office (including yourself)...... could you call me if you get a moment.

I recieved a call the other day and I only have approx 2700 and I know of at least 10 others with quite a bit less than 5000 being called as well.

Good news is at least they are hiring and I keep hearing the target is around 140-160 pilots.

Anyone got a contact number to speak to Jetstar pilot recruitment direct?
Is this possible, or do they "maintain a distance" from applicants until they need more info?

And where are they going to find co-pilots with 5000+ hours prepared to work for those conditions? Tell em their dreamin !! This is HR spin,nothing to do with the reality of supply and demand.They will have to take suitable candidates with 1500+ hours.So if your in that range start pushing your case.Good luck everyone.

I talked to an HR girl around Christmas and she said they were recruiting 140 pilots over 2010 and were constantly hiring a few each week.

5000 hours on the 'bus, nothing either.
Wondering if A) Overqualified, or B) All too hard for them, as I'm living in UK at present?

I'm just wondering what Jetstar's policy is on having all Australian ATPL subjects completed as mentioned in their minimum requirements;

Quote:
Have passes in all Australian ATPL subjects or equivalent;
'or equivalent' would suggest that you can still apply if you hold credits for ATPL subjects from another authority, like JAA?

Dunno. I have both ATPL's, but I'd imagine you could convert your UK JAR ATPL to an Aussie one without too many problems.
