any Liar around here??

I can't see the justification for making something like that up...think you are barking up the wrong tree!

about the bond
 

3 year bond, valued at Euro 15000 initially, reducing exponetially by 1/36th per month of employment.

hi guys...

I've read the threads on jetbird, and the question has been asked before, but I can't seem to find any answers to it... here goes: how is the jetbird phone-interview..??? what questions do you get...AND...if you're successfull at the phone-interview, what is the rest of the selection..? Sim-ride? Interview?

Any info is welcome!

Cheers!!!!

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!

Living etc.
 

Hey guys, is anyone currently due to start flying with JB actually permanently moving to Germany and if so, what options are there for your wives and girlfriends (WAGs) regarding employment!!

Any other thoughts regarding living arrangements etc. would be interesting to hear about!

Cheers, JSR.

It seems they´re sending e-mails for the phone interview.
Any info from the happy selected ones to see if i have some chance...
I mean, quantity and quality of flying hours...

@suitcaseman
 

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.

Dont sweat the small stuff.......
 

About 30 questions from the ATPL course.... Nothing that will make you sweat !

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 :ok: and any news is appreciated.
