JQI
This is the e-mail regarding recruitment for Cairns base.... I have copied and pasted this e-mail I received yesterday. Any thoughts on what this means for the AO crew up there. I really feel for them.
Dear...........

CheekyFly> Thanks so much for the reply! You definitely gave me something to think about! Honestly, I never thought they paid that much! And you're right this whole Qantas takeover thing is making it all that much more interesting! Will have to see what happens! You're a crew I take it?
The Japanese crew part sounds interesting! I knew I should've finished my Japanese course ages ago! ..
Was reading in previous pages that JQI utilises BKK based crew for its flights...how is it that they can do this for flights other than from Thailand to Australia???

futureflier,
same as Qantas - The Bangkok based crew fly to Australia, overnight, then crew to other ports on the network.

J* International interview
hi there guys,
I have an interview with J* Int coming up soon and for those of u that r currently flying ( with J* Dom or J* Int ) I have a simple question:
Q: Since J* insnt a corporate airline, and its uniform doesnt have a tie, what to wear to the interview? A full suit , corporate look ? A suit without tie ? Or just long sleeves shirt no jacket ?
Not sure what to wear cause I have been through interviews before where I had to wear a full suit due to the airlines image, but, when comes to a leisure/budget airline, is that necessary ? Dont wanna be to dressed up for the ocasion.....
Thanks in advance .

thks GIGS
thks for ur reply. a friend that currently flies J* dom. said that he did not wear a tie at his interview... and he got in. he said do not wear one, but, like urself, i kinda like the idea of " dress to impress ". when u went did u have all the boys wearing ties, or a bit mixed ?
many thks.
im a bit unsure to be honest, would that really make a difference ? tie or no tie ?

I've never seen Alan Joyce wear a tie - there's a clue

Hi guys, I would love to fly again, I miss it, but have a child now and would find 140hrs just too much. Are there any reduced flying lines available or would my child be a teenager before that would happen !! ?? Thanks

galleygirl - it wont happen.. no matter what they tell you. the PT list is years long and is not looking great for the future anyway. i suggest MAM casual if you need less hours
bla_bla - go the full suit. they wont think any less of you, trust me and if you dress 'down' then have someone interviewing you who thinks its more respectful to wear a suit you will lose points. JQ is not like virgin in the way that they like a more casual approach, most of the management and crew alike prefer a more professional grooming level that you would adhere to if interviewing for a mainline QF job.

Recruitment standards at mainline are a long gone concept. So desperate are QF for cut price flight attendants in AKL that front teeth are now, optional.........
I kid you not!!!!

^^ oh thats just sad. and what about the new VRs... they are trying to turn mainline into JQ.
Anyway.. i still stand on my ultra professional grooming approach for Jetstar. They would look at you more strangely if you were 'casually attired'

Jet* International CNS base ( HELP !!! ) $$$
thanks for all the help guys in regards to " what to wear to a Jet* interview ".
Are there any JQI FA's out there that wouldnt mind give me some info in regards to the pay and conditions?
I know a fair bit about the conditions and that, but would like to know more about the $$$ . As I am currently flying as a casual for MAM, and I know quite a bit about the game, Id like to suss out a bit about the MONEY, put the figures down, and decide if its worth or not, u know, as a casual the money is really not all that bad, but no holidays versus less money and holidays??? and also less of all the crap thats been happening at work atm, u know, it seems like the company must be laughing at all the politics thats going on lately, A versus B versus C versus FT...
I have figured that theres no comparisson between JQD and JQI. The JQD FA's are far better off than their counterparts... EBA versus AWA, but anyway.. my interview is for JQI.
So anyone out there that is weeling to help ?
RUMOUR: a friend that flies out of CNS JQD base, heard that they have not yet decided if they are going to overnight the JQI CNS crew in Japan, meaning they r gonna do a rtn trip CNS-NRT-CNS. Anyone heard anything about that? Considering that JQI FA's can be rostered for up to 18 hour duties and 21 hours with a delay that wouldnt surprise me...
Thanks in advance.

before any more rumours begin, JQ will not operate CNS/NRT. They will fly from CNS to KIX and NGO.
If the duty limitation fo JQI cabin crew is 18 hours, then they could roster a return duty but it would be tight. The duty would probably be around 17 hours. Doesn't leave much room for delays. It will be interesting!!

Who would want to go to work for 17 or 18 hours anyway? Maybe if they payed you well, but I don't think JQI is dangling that carrot... Is it true there is no overtime?
Aren't there laws which prevent this type of thing happening? Could you imagine the JQ or QF executives sitting in their offices for 18 hours? I don't think so...
To all those applying make sure you weigh up the pros and cons. Is it really worth missing half your life for the measly amount of money and conditions JQI are offering. Do JQ domestic! At least you can see your family every day and there is not that much difference in pay...
