As terrible as this may sound I would never be that desperate to work for them. The bad pay, the cleaning the aircraft after, the blah uniform. I don't find it appealing at all, maybe there is career progression but it's a long long long way away and too work for peanuts, for pax that pay peanuts. Not for me. In saying that though goodluck to anyone who is pursuing a flying career with them.

Jetstar International
I though Jetstar's airfares would be cheaper.....
For examlple, Flight Centre has a deal for $1099 to Phuket including 6 nights accommation and transfers.
Otherwise you can book just the airfare with Jetstar for $814.
So for an extra $285 you get 6 nights accommodation, airport transfers, full service airline (meal, blanket and pillow, free entertainment and can earn ff points).
I fail to see the huge savings you get flying Jetstar when you consider you still need to purchase accommodation on top of your airfare.

Has anybody heard?
Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has actually had offers of Jobs with JetStar International for Sydney Base? All seems to have gone very quiet and I for one am still in the dark. Referees were contacted some weeks ago and still no news.

hey pinklemonae
Usually there are about 30-50 candidates, depending on how many recruiters they have, as there is about 1-2 recruiters for each table of ten.
Dont let that worry you though, cause all you have to do is be yourself, and you will be fine!!

How can you know the conditions and listen to what people have said on these forums and still want to work there?
People like you accepting these conditions are partially to blame for the appalling conditions for most Australian cabin crew.
Sheesh have some dignity and at least PRETEND you don't want to work for them.
