Jetgo - have they gone?
 

I guess I was more interested in the discussion as to what would motivate the company to combine pilot recruitment and operations together, difficulty finding young talent for its operations perhaps? As I say, just curious. I don't meet the requirements so won't be pursuing an application even under a carefully disguised alias. Feeling that warm inviting pprune love already!

ERJ-135ER ?
 

think most of above, rather than the ERJ-135LR's, have MTOW of less than 20,000 kgs, which would mean no security & enormous sayings in costs for any RPT operation.

What Bull****! the cost of $4.69 or so dollars a head for screening ( Dubbo example only source Dubbo airport website) x 36 pax ( $ 168.84 ) is minuscale compared to an ER having to take on fuel at Dubbo or any country airport, with fuel close to $2.00 litre VS a bit over a dollar at hub airports.

1500 litres @ even .60c difference is $900 ! How could an ER be cheaper. It appears that the owners of JG have done a little more research hence their all LR fleet than that of the "Expert" PPrunNers

I believe the 20k MTOW rule applies to non-jet aircraft. The E135 being a jet I believe would therefore need to be screened if running an RPT operation. Happily stand corrected though.

if.they flew essendon to bankstown

under 20k no security .

20k or over need security whether 1 flight a day or 10

full time security amortized over only few flights incredibly expensive

If they were interviewing this week did anyone get the call up for one?

Isn't the 20K security screening only if terminating at a primary control airport???

Jet dream

I believe it will now be in 2 weeks time in Sydney

Hi Bandit,
Do you have any idea if they are still calling guys/girls for interview or do they have their quota for this round of interviews?

Not sure I believe they are still sifting through apps. Sounds like a pretty good outfit overall and would probably more suit guys/gals looking at slowing down their careers than those wanting to progress. Then again, a job is a job. Biggest concern I see is contractual based around mining. Who knows though they may have some solid contracts. Would be good to know more about them.

bagthrower you seem to have no idea.


If under 20k MTOW, no need to use terminals.


Eg. at BNE if using terminals then it costs around $11/passenger departing & around $10/passenger arriving that's $21/passenger. If similar at airport at other end, that's $42/passenger just to use the airport terminal, which is why alternative terminals are popping up.

Alliance Airlines has there own terminal at BNE for FIFO where none of these charges apply & could be used if under 20k MTOW.


If at an airport that doesn't existing security, eg, Bankstown, then equipment has to be sourced & workers found on minimum number of hours. Huge costs !!!

Does anyone know if they have contacted guys regarding interviews yet?

Mach, had a look at the advert and admittedly I'm a couple of reds in… Where was the bad grammar? Drift I know, but after you point it out isn't there some irony in the fact they're asking 'Have a very high degree of English literacy??'

Tautology is bad grammar.
e.g. Police- speak "the body of a deceased male person" when "dead man" would suffice.

Okay, re the grammar, I'll bite!

Really - Bad grammar? Typos? Spelling mistakes? Who gives monkeys nuts!
JetGo have some excellent plans lined up including growing the company, adding aircraft and pilots, and they are meeting regulatory requirements. They have solid financial backing and have more announcements to come this year :ok:

Hey cactus, it's "who gives a monkey's nuts":O. Lighten up, I'm sure 99% of pilots wish them the best :O

My Bad,

I wasn't very well edumacated.. But we try hard.. As per earlier questions in the thread, a final list of applicants for the first round of interviews has been compiled. Requests for interviews will go out shortly. Many experienced people out there, shame we can only take a few. Interviews for Crew will be in BNE. Operation Cadets in Sydney. Thanks to all whom have applied. Overall over 500 applicants for all positions. Also looking for experienced flight attendants for Sydney based positions for all of you whom may know someone interested.

Jetgo Management,

How nice it is to hear something positive from someone in head office. All we get these days from the usual culprits is "The world is falling in."

I have not applied for a job and don't know your business plan but I do remember when airlines in Australia actually flew their own branded aircraft and were proud of it. Now all the talk about is codeshares, subsidiaries and partnerships and how far a passenger can travel on someone else's network.

I only wish you well and hope you charge an appropriate fee for the services rendered in order to survive. It's a race to the top not the bottom.

Hopefully your initiative and success may make others wake up to themselves and begin trying to work out how to make a dollar instead of saving fifty cents.

Good Luck to you.

Clearly was the red:ouch: ....and that's why they only trust me with boxes.

Good luck JetGo! As stated, nice to hear a good word in this place.
