Some may mock but 'heavy' time can mean the difference between a candidate successfully and smoothly transitioning onto other more complex and weightier types or not quite making the grade.
An old sim instructor of mine once commented that he could tell those pilots who had flown heavy singles like 206s or 210s compared to those who had only operated light pistons such as 182s by their finesse. In fact said same sim instructor said his most impressive student was a young Russian who had Tu-114 time! |
Who really gives a **** what's defined as 'heavy' for recuitment purposes - I know guys with Baron time who got into JQ. Do what you need to do to get the interview FFS
|
There's always one.
As far as turboprops go, the Q400 is a heavy one. It's also a medium weight catagory aircraft. Meaning similar separation standards for light aircraft following it, to a narrow body jet. It's not a Boeing or a bus, but it requires a similar workload and standard to fly it. |
Are they still steadily hiring dash-8 f/os based in orcs
|
Has and Jetstar Aus Pilots been given anymore info on LWOP opportunities to Vietnam?
|
So has the ADAPT test now being used in the selection process replaced the SHL psychometric tests? Or is it in addition to?

Hey guys
Where do you actually apply to JSTAR A320 DE FO position? I can't seem to find that position on the careers page. SN |

Roger that. I would say they are having a cleanup of the applications on file. Probably be re-advertised soon. SN |
Now back open (with a new careers site for JQ)

Hi guys
Apologies if this has been answered before or is in the wrong area I’ve been invited for the cadet testing in Melbourne and don’t want to get ahead of myself but still just want to get a clearer picture of the lifestyle once you’re actually on the books and how rosters work in with the greater work life balance of today :} I see a lot of talk on here about how many young captains there are at Jetstar, this has the obvious impact on promotion so at the moment how long could you expect to be a second officer for and then first officer? I know you have to be prepared to move (which I would be fine with), but just wanted to confirm that the 787 bases are Melbourne and Sydney? Or can you get based in another capital? For the A320 I imagine you get based in whichever city you’re needed the most, and then wait for appropriate seniority before being able to request a move? A few years ago there was a lot of news about pilots getting sent to NZ/Asia – does this mean a full on move to these countries is required or are you still based in Aus and just flying for these entities? Can this still happen? Also what would a typical monthly roster on the 787 and A320 look like? On the A320 I imagine short haul is different, is it 5 days on 2 days off sort of thing? Thanks again in advance |
A friend of mine has a mate whose cousin has twice the advertised mins, and a decent amount of multi turbine command but hasn't got past the 'thanks for your application' stage. Does anyone have current info on the sort of experience needed for interview?

They are processing huge amounts of applicants, most guys on courses at the moment are either from jet or regional turboprop back grounds

Anyone have an idea of time to widebody FO, and time to narrow body command? Supposedly VA is looking around the 9 year mark for command...
|
As of the latest seniority list:
5+ years to Wide Body FO 8+ years to Narrow Body Command |
Can anyone give me an update on the Jetstar cadet positions that were advertised just prior to Christmas. Is anyone on course or have been told of their selection for a course this year?
|
Any AKL based F/O willing to send me via PM a copy of recent roster for comparison purposes? De-identifed is fine, just want to see what an average roster is like.
Cheers 40b |
