Hi! I'm in the same position as Victor Charlie...And any answer would be more than welcome...
I can only recall reading or hearing about the phone interview, when one was asked only questions which were not related to aviation, such as the last book he/she read, etc...
if any one could help us...thank you very much!

I would appreciate more in-depth details about the selection process.
Regarding the telephone interview: I looked through all JB threads and all I found is that the ask questions like: your favorite colour? The last book you read? Can you add some questions they ask?
Group presentation: what exactly happens there? General knowledge technical exam? Stuff like maths and physics or aircraft related questions? No psychological questions/logical tests or stuff like that? Maybe some examples.
Thanks to anyone who can give some input.

Has JetBird now started flying paying passengers now we're post the September 1st launch date?
Been following the progress and interested to know whether any of you guys have moved to Cologne and started working your rosters?
I for one think JetBird has a great business plan, and wish I could have accepted the job offer and flown the Phenom, it's pretty appealing considering where I am sat now.
Good luck guys
and any news is appreciated.
