I think the important question at interview is: will you cough up for the endorsement.

Are they still working under the shonky scenario of getting you to pay for the training from one organization, then getting the VB checkie to give you the check ride and then sign the employment forms before the endorsement forms only if you pass the Check?
Does CASA endorse this, or are they turning a blind eye?
How can the company's check and training standards be met with 1 sim ride? What does their AOC state about induction training. All the others have had to provide training departments. simulators etc because that is a condition of the AOC and is regulated by CASA.
What's the story at VB....... All on lease?
If this is the case it is shonky, disgusting and unprofessional.
So you pay to prop up the share price of VB and the management make even more money from dividends?
Are VB pilots members of the AFAP? What do they say?
And what do you get for your trouble peanuts.... Well, peanuts buys monkeys or maybe people just desperate to work in Australia.
Tradesmen can make more money with better tax benefits.

If JQ do the same then they are just as bad.

Go overseas. The world is a small place with lucrative jobs to be had, or become a plumber or an electrician
