I think Qantas operates them. Definitely not NJS.

'Express Freighters Australia' operate the jets... EFA and aircraft are owned by Qantas. Apparently at least one more 733F to come from NZ, perhaps more.

I believe 1 is based in Hobart and another in Cairns... the other 2 in MEL perhaps? Not sure about rosters, but you can expect to work Mon-Thr nights with a three-day weekend each week. I think the HBA A/C does HBA-LST-MEL-LST-HBA each night, with the CNS A/C doing CNS-TSV-BNE-TSV-CNS or something roughly akin to that.

NJS do the 3 x 146s (2 x -300s ADL base, 1 x -100 BNE base) and the sole remaining 722F (PER base).

I'm sure someone out there can provide more (read: more accurate) details. :ok:

Apply HERE ! (http://www.bfound.net/detail.aspx?jobId=36918&CoId=742&rq=4) I hear the money is poor but the operation is a good step to gaining employment with Virgin.:cool:

Has anyone actually had a start with these guys in a while?

Any other contact details?

A good mate, no not DSC or BAe146, flies for Express Freighters Australia, base in MEL. There is no CNS base as yet. As mentioned above, NJS through Jetex operate the BAe146 x 3 and B727 x 1. EFA is a subsidiary of QF. AFAIK its the QF recruitment process.

$, about $120k ish region, no weekend work, no public holiday work, yet.

Some drivers have left for greener pastures, but not too many as I recall. I haven't heard of any widespread unhappiness.

They still have reasonablly high requirments i suppose due to low turn over. I have had details in for a while but have heard nothing.
