Got around 8000 hrs, No jet time but mostly shiploads of Dash time, offered J* interview. Decided to give them a miss after reviewing the pay-for-endo, the crap renumeration and the anecdotal evidence from friends inside getting flogged, having to pay for everything etc. Perhaps we should enlighten the general public on these realities.
One bloke said "just like a large disorganised GA operator really - with jets"
If you ask me, most people may accept Jet* conditions just to get their foot in the door - with future plans not involving budget carriers at all. No wonder they are having trouble recruiting experienced aussies. What have they got to offer? The 457 visa is unbelievable and unwarranted in this case.
