Who wants a Jetstar Command??
 

Apparently not that many!
The latsest round of commands where allocated today with 4 NZCH and 2 YMHB commands left wanting!!
How funny is it that not one person in Jetstar either has the requirements or the desire to take a Jet command in NZCH or YMHB!!!
Or 28 F/O slots through-out the network...
BBBWWWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH:D:rolleyes::E:ok:
What a Fu%^ing joke of an industry!
but the EBA got up!!!!
but there is no pilot shortage!!!

Rostov, reading your post just gives me the screaming Sh1ts.

This is not a shot at the messenger.

I first listed my qualifications with JQ back when they were first starting, back in late 2004. Updated on more than one occasion. My first choice for bases was Hobart followed by OOL and then MEL. I have 1000s of hours on the bus. Still current even, have a right to live and work in Oz and even have an Australian ATPL with the rating. I have yet to hear anything from this mob.

Oh well.

There is a reason for everything!:=

you had to wear a blue shirt post 89 to get a look in, thats why.

Non-North American airline seeks Airbus and First Officers. Location Australia

I have been through interview, planning exercise and all of the hoops. Had an email to say that I had made it to the last stage and JQ would be checking my references.... That was 3.5 weeks ago and my references still haven't been contacted even though they have been sent emails to confirm when they are available. Everytime I call them I am told the references will definately be checked within the next few days, I pass that on to my referees and then nothing......!! Who carries out these checks. So now I feel like I am in limbo and the two referees are getting pissed off ... doh:}... so they can't be that desperate.

Well said dodgybrothers,

from what i hear must be a part of their C&T :ooh:

AH, I have a mate in OZ in a similar position. I hear everything is being put on hold to allow 35 or so visa 457 holders to start. Good luck to the 'promoted' f/o's with their 12 month wait for command training.:ugh:

Ready to be corrected on this one.

Did you maybe consider that these Commands may be subsequencial Commands?
New positions that come about when allocated positions are filled.
Just a thought,

waiting
 

4000HRS Total
2300hrs jet

Aus ATPL right to live and work in oz. Had my application in for about 12months but no news either. I thought there was a shortage too

An optimist might would would hope this is just bureaucratic incompetence, a cynic that you are not "vulnerable" enough.
You can bet the 457 visa holders escaping Africa won't cause any trouble for management... until the day after they gain permanent residency.

Skills and experience have nothing to do with your chance to get an interview or to be employed by an Australian carrier.
This is a fact.

So what is they are looking for in an applicant then?

Somebody willing to pay for an endorsement?

No, they where in fact the advertised slots in Christchurch and Hobart.

Well that explains everything. They are the bits of australia that broke off and floated away.

Yas, but some of them swam back across the Tismin and populated Tasmania:E

8000TT, 4000 Airbus 320/1, 330, 340. Aussie citizen. Aussie ATPL. Application submitted twice in last couple of years, not a word apart from acknowledgement email.
