Jetstar require far higher minimums and standards than CX require
From a quick google search Jetstar HK FO applicants require a minimum of:
- in excess of 1500 hrs TT with ATPL
- 500 hrs multi engine experience
- 250 hrs Command Experience
- Airbus endorsement or experience preferred.
Jetstar Hong Kong Recruitment: Attention
CX's minimum requirements?
ZERO hrs experience. That's why so many simply can't apply to Jetstar. And even if they could you'd find most still don't get the implications of a bonded SO position with a P2X rating as opposed to logging recognised hours in a control seat of (any) aircraft.
Who would've believed that a Low Cost Carrier would require better credentials than the almighty CX!!!??
