I interviewed 2 months ago and still awaiting a reply. Is anyone else in the same boat?

When I started back in 2007 I had waited for four months between the final interview and any further correspondence at all, it became clear after some time that in fact no news is sometimes good news. Eventually they did call with the good news.

Tough wait but hang in there, the wheels of Jetstar recruitment move slowly.

I know what people say about hanging in there, but I have been on the hold file since Feb with no word. I heard at the interview they were looking at starting 12-20 a month. Does anyone have an idea of the actual numbers of new starts in the last 6 months?

There is a sim down at Ansett and will be down a sim for longer than what was first thought, which means the in house training is struggling to be done - this takes priority over induction training.

February isn't all that long to wait, the guys I started with had all been in the hold file for over 12 months. They will call when they call, in the meantime don't put your life or career on hold waiting for the call. There are plenty of options out there and if you get snapped up into something else before you get the call, then you would be stupid not to take it.

PLENTY! Anywhere from 8-20 per month, depends on the month.

Any reason the Jetstar website has no pilot jobs advertised at the moment?

Thanks for that, at least it gives me some idea of where I stand, that is at the bottom of the hold file.

Jetstar is having difficulties with training logistics so don't assume that you have been passed over for selection.

From what I've heard the courses for this year are completely full. This is secondhand info, but I'm sure someone with inside knowledge can confirm this, or correct me.

Courses being full who knows? It does change a bit. The sim however has an ongoing problem with slots and that’s for existing employees!

Are the brakes still on recruitment with the current trouble finding training slots even across the pond at J* NZ? Will the website be taking applications again this year?

I was called by the Qantas group in regards to interest in other parts of the company, after the recruiter asked if i was interested she made mention that there will be no more sims booked this year for Jetstar past the august course (which has been filled), at this stage.

Would be helpful if Tiger could hurry up with its A320 disposal program so the sims can open up.

Worlds slowest fleet conversion.

Tigers A320's aren't going anywhere soon.

What I don't understand is why all this recruiting is occurring? I know Jetstar has been losing pilots to QF but I would not have thought that those numbers are large enough to warrant two years and counting of massive recruitment. Normally expansion of the airline generates that level of recruitment and that is not taking place either. Anyway good for the pilots getting selected.

its because they were very short of people to begin with plus as mentioned they have lost a few, not just to QF but to the other subsidiarys in Vietnam and Japan. I forget the exact number that was quoted to me but from the 100+ that was recruited last year they only saw a rise in FO numbers by 40. Recruitment has slowed because as has been said on here many times that sim slots are very limited (globally) not just in Australia, and FO numbers have come up. It will of course change again in the not too distant future as we are short of captains and once the shuffle is made through the fleets to fix that current issue, we will be short again of FOs. Also with the new aircraft coming in 2020 will see an expansion and route shuffle

Aren't the new aircraft replacing existing aircraft?

not entirely because we are getting 321LRs which will shake up the route structure.

All times are GMT. The time now is 10:26.
