Without indeed going in detail about the job possibilities.
The interview is with someone from HR and one pilot. Just the regular HR questions, like why you want to work with JAF, about your history, education, personality,... Also one question is in French or Dutch, which is no problem at all if you're at least able to express yourself properly in French (or Dutch if you're French).
Then some technical questions from the pilot. Can be basic questions but also quite in depth questions, really depends on the pilot itself, so difficult to help you with that.

If there is a French and Dutch speakers forum you might get more responses since this airline did a great job of securing those positions for Belgian nationals only,even tho Belgium and it's EU flag,promotes freedom of movement of workers in the EU.Not being a bitch,but I doubt you get many responses here...either way,good luck

It was Gerard Brackx who founded the travelcompany in 1971 by the name "Jetair". It used Sabena/Sobelair as carriers to transport the customers to their destinations. In 1996 he sold half of his company to TUI travel and when he gave the company to his son Bart Brackx in 2001 it was completely sold to TUI not much later. Bart Brackx remained in charge of Jetair until he rose to the top of TUI where he became managing director of TUI Western Europe. AFAIK this month is his last month before he retires at the age of 50 to enjoy life.
JetairFly was founded when Sabena's daughter company Sobelair filed for bankruptcy in 2003/2004, first it was named TUI Airlines Belgium but since the "Jetair" brand is quite big in Belgium (Jetair is the largest touroperator in the country) the airline was rebranded in JetairFly but called by the people "Jetair" like the travelagency. Today Jetair is Belgium's second largest passenger airline and operates as a fully scheduled airliner rather then a charterairline like the other airlines in the TUI Travel group. It's a quite succesful airline today, it has the youngest fleet in the country (nearly all planes are delivered factory new with 6 new planes arriving in 2013). This year the operations of Marrocons TUI airline Jet4you were integrated in JetairFly with all planes now flying on the Belgian register.

Thanks for the hints!
I had a very relaxed interview with them; one HR girl and the training manager. It was more based on who I am than what I know. They asked questions about flying experience; specific examples etc.
Wait and see!

Which agency would you use to go to Jetairly? I heard Contractair were the only agency recruiting but now I have seen advert from CAE Parc. Anyone has any experience with either of them?

They performed selection processes for ab initio pilots. I am sorry to say this but I believe the screenings are over. They proposed one year working on the ground then if successful in a practical test (sr20 check ride) they might offer you a TR and a contract.
The last part is then not assured from the beginning, but given the actual market's situation, I see securing a job in an airline for an ab-initio a very good way to get started and learn how it really works in a company. Finally, if you go through and get a right seat in one of their shiny brand new 738's, its all benefic! to say the least...
Indeed I believe they hire contractors during busy summer months. Full time pilots are used to work on the ground few days a month during the winter.

Jetairfly interview
Hello,
I will have an interview next week with JAF. First they will talk about the airline then we will make an theoretical exam. Did someone make it? Is it possible to have some tips about this?
Thanks in advance

Just thinking about applying here for now - I'm 737 rated (300 - 900), but have more hours on the classic than NG. Is that a problem?
Also, are they looking for summer contractors only, or is there a decent chance of a full time contract if selection is passed?
Thanks
