Sitting next to a certain person very high up in the food chain on a flight recently, (not management) I was told there is NO J AUST HOLD FILE.
It simply does not exist.
You go to the interview and if sucessful are told you can bend over and start straight away in Sing or NZ or wait for an Australian base on the imaginary Aussie hold file.
A good mate of mine had been waiting for an Aussie base since March 2010 but recently started some where else.
J are laughing all the way to the bank because they make money by charging people to be interviewed anyway so they don't care if you are on the imaginary hold file for 17 years before moving on with your life.
What an industry!
