hi stillontheground! I just put in my application for jeststar yesterday! 
I havent been for an interview or anything, I know that nans here on pprune just recently got a job with them, maybe you could send them a private message and ask them some questions??
(nans, I hope you dont mind me saying that!!)
I would really like to work for JQ, I think they are a young, fun airline, and as the only airline in Oz with a base in Hobart, it would be great if I didnt have to move.
we should use this thread to update each other and other hopefull people on our progress!

Paris Flyer,
Good Luck for Thursday at the Seminar. My medical was last Friday, and I was told I would hear (or not hear) if I was successful for the job this week - (I have no nails left!) but Im sure you will do fine.
Nans, how is Training school going???

I got rejected from Jetstar about 2 months ago. I found the seminar really tough! Basically, the first 30minutes was info on Jetstar where they fly to and so on. Did you guys know if you are CC Melbourne Airport based, then you don't do any overnights, so that means no allowences, I think they said that base rate is about 38k. You do, however, you get comission for what you sell onboard, don't know how much that would be though. The actual group activities are confusing. Our group had this really confusing problem solving thing and I was just trying to say something that related to the problem solving, but that is quite hard when you don't really understand the damn thing. And then my group had a couple of people that reallytook ova. Oh well better luck to me next time.

Hi Guys,
I was just wondering if anyone has attended the recent Jetstar interviews and made it through to the medical stage and attended the morning tea with management.???
I went for my morning tea last Wednesday (November 10) and went for my medical the same day, but I still haven't heard anything. If you know of anyone who is in the same position as me could you let me know
thanks

Hi guys,
I don't want to bug anyone out there, but still I haven't heard anything from Jetstar.. and I had my final interview 2 weeks ago.. and they would have received my medical last Tuesday (17th).
I wouldn't normally be this anxious, but at the interview they told me they would let me know in a week. It has now been 2 weeks and I haven't heard anything good or bad...
Is there someone out there that could advise me what to do - whether or not I should ring and find out or if I should give it another week.
Thanks.

From D&G Reporting Points...
The timing of services to Perth will depend on the outcome of Jetstar's bid to continue operating and maintaining the Boeing 717s for Qantaslink. It is competing for the contract against incumbent Qantaslink operator National Jet Systems (NJS).
Joyce says winning the contract would push Jetstar to move on establishing facilities in Perth and would accelerate the timing of its own services.

Anyone know what the likelihood of a PER CC base be? or would they move people over from QantasLink? Wondering what they will do for ground crew - contract out or use new hires???? really want a ground crew job, it'd be great if there were suddenly a heap of jobs going!

Hey kids,
At this point in time there does not seem to be requirement of a crew base in ADL.... but u know how things change in this environment
The current JQ ADL schedule is covered by the existing bases.
Perth, well we'll see what happens there when the announcement is made re: the operations of the 717's
from my point of view it makes sense to have JQ operate the 71's for qantaslink, as they already have the Tech crew, Cabin Crew, Engineering Staff and facilities to be able to move into these operations seamlessly. Obviously not all crew would be able to, or want to, transfer to whichever city the 717's will be based from
so there would be the opportunity for new positions i spose, and the planes could go back into the paintshop (AGAIN) and have the Roo painted back on it's tail. Geez! another uniform change (and one thought the change was ova
)
Rumours are the next cabin crew recruitment is scheduled for Syd and Bne early next year
Safe flyin all.

HEARING TESTS AND MEDICALS!
Hi guys
I'm a seasoned flight attendant who's applied to Jetstar (amongst others) since a career lapse. I have worked for Monarch and Emirates amongst others, however got knocked back for a job offer with United Airlines 5 years ago due to failing the audiogram! I was mortified, I never knew my hearing was that defective, apparantly my higher frequency hearing has been damaged although my every day hearing is fine. My question is to anyone who can help...do most australian airlines expect you to do a full audiogram test ( sitting in a booth with a beeper) or is the once over from a doctor sufficient?
Any answers greatly appreciated.
