I know applications are open until 18th Nov, but has anyone been offered the aptitude testing yet? I have heard nothing since the application.

I received the aptitude test 2 days after applying and then an invitation to an assessment day 1 week later.

Been about 4 weeks for me. On the bright side I guess I have longer to prepare if I do get the call.

By assessment do you mean, the skills assessment, or the stage 3 group interview?

I mean the assessment day where we do a group activity, panel interview and sim ride.

Does anyone know if Melbourne base as a new hire is possible? Does it need much seniority to bid for. Some info on rosters for melb/Sydney would be appreciated

Sydney and Melbourne are the bases where most newbies end up in aus, Auckland for NZ hires.
Sydney more so at the moment. Usually 3-6 months wait if you’re unlucky enough to get the wrong one. if you want one of the other bases, ADL, CNS etc can take a year or more. People do commute but it’s pretty tough on a JQ roster and with a 6month staff travel wait, also expensive.

Is it still the case that JQ don’t pay until you have completed your A320 TR?

GA Driver 14th Nov 2019 01:31

Yep, your start date is your Head office visit followed by groundschool.

How sought after is a Perth base and how long could one be looking to transfer if based on the East Coast initially?

Cheers

Perth is typical WA. People go there and then wait to die.... So little movement from the captain front, f/o a LITTLE more as they usually realise a command will come up there never. You will generally get the base you’re after, but it’s all just a waiting game as has been said above.

AviatoR21 18th Nov 2019 16:05

Any other base you’ll have to wait 12 months if you’re unlucky. Perth atleast 5 years from what I’ve seen.

Thanks mate, do you know where they are conducting the TR and/or how long the TR it is from start to day one with the company?

Are they hiring are they? Has anyone actually done an interview?

It depends, many MANY TR’ings have been completed in Southampton (known to be a Rubbish endorsement) the last few have been done at Ansett and also AirNz. It would just depend where the availability is. How long? Usually 8-12 weeks, but mine isn’t recent, so that could be a bit off nowadays. Obviously a bit less if there’s no travel to the UK.

Do you guys think the EBA negotiations and the possible disruption over Christmas will have an impact on hiring and training?

Lookleft 25th Nov 2019 22:26

It will have no impact whatsoever. The people looking after the hiring and training are different to the people doing the EBA negotiations. Never assume that JQ use a coordinated strategy to be energetically efficient!

Does anyone have a gauge on the usual wait time for feedback following an assessment day? I am quickly wearing out the refresh button on my emails.

Back when I applied it was anywhere from a month to a few months. For the new/recent applicants I’ve heard as few 2-10 days... It’s all over the place.
So are their start dates, as I’ve heard ‘early 2020’ and have also heard ‘after May 2020 due NZ closures’...

Sorry I can’t give you more

Until they tell you no....usually it’s at least a 6 week thing. But if it’s a no, it’s pretty quick.
