This is the first ad that I have seen requiring an ATPL since the new rules,
Jet-Connect in NZ require an applicant to hold an ATPL before being considered for an interview. Several would-be hopefuls were refused interviews despite having over 1000 hours as first officer on the Boeing Classic/NG with Australian ATPL subjects.
To rub salt in the wounds these hopefuls are not permitted to undergo an ATPL flight (simulator) test because they don't have an Australian MCC course and there is no CASA MCC approved course in Australia for other than airline sponsorship like Cathay or Dragonair Hong Kong which are not CASA approved anyway.
