Magicbox, minimal training? are you kidding?
they have condensed the same normally 6 weeks of training into 3 and it is gruelling with 80 - 100 pass mark and an exam practically every day and if you don't get alot higher than 80 you are given a lecture implying you aren't studying hard enough!!! Even Virgin do it in 5, Qantas etc in 6 and bearing in mind the aircraft fit outs are not uniform as they are for Qantas crew, I think they deserve a medal just to get through without it doing their head in. Age ranges from 18 to late 40's with same entry requirements as full time crew just none of the benefits
I know cabin crew who were employed by Qantas at 18 who wouldn't have stood up to this amount of pressure
so in my opinion, i think they would be an asset to JetStar and any future employers.
