They have sunk to a new low. Should we also place a gold coin 'donation' as we enter the building to cover carpet cleaning costs and smudges on the glass when we open the door? What a joke!

Please correct me if i am misinformed, guys appliying for J* are prepared to cough up $30K for endorsement, suprised they'd notice another $100, hell why don't they make it $1000.
Well, I for one will now apply for a position with Jetstar.
The reason for doing so is to advise them on being told about their "administration fee to partially recover the costs associated with processing the thousands of applications Jetstar receives for each vacancy.", that, sorry I'm not interested. If however, they change this policy, then I'd be more than happy to meet with them. And the same response will be given to "paying for your endorsement".
This is nothing against the guys and gals that currently work for Jetstar, but if enough of us guys that don't wont to work for this airline did the same thing, then we may bring about a change.
post edit- Just been to their web site to apply, and it seems if you don't agree to their terms then you can't proceed any further.

Ultralights, you make a joke about being charged 100,000 per year to
work for these shmucks. Well you actually are, because their pay rates
are such that JQ pilots are being paid about 100,000 less than a reasonable
salary. With the level of productivity asked of JQ pilots they should be
on about 100,000 more per year- schmucks!

I remember a few years back a guy was diligently reading junk mail posted in his letter box and then sending invoices to the company concerned for "consultancy fees". They were reasonably small amounts sent to large companies and for a while he was actually getting cheques in return.
Add up the costs of an application. Valuable hours tabulating logbooks into command/day/night/cross country/sim/ etc, printing and postage costs and of course the cost of acquiring the computer/printer/internet for online applications.
Send an invoice to Jefstar/Qantas for "recruitment specialist services"
and see what comes back.

I thought I'd reapply, after withdrawing my application a few months ago.
Came across this application fee. Its 15 dollars, which isn't much, but I thought, bugger that, its an immoral company as it is, let alone taking a little bit deeper for their satisfaction.
There are better companies out there...be stong people, DO NOT succumb to these half wits.
