'Free Spirit Airlines' - Australia
 

I was looking around at job availability today and came across one for 'Free Spirit Airlines' which are offering a cadet program.
I'm not actually interested in it but it got my attention because it's a start-up airline in Australia I've never heard of.

I'm just curious if anybody knows much about them?

Nobody has heard of them, by their own admission they don't have an AOC yet (i.e. they don't actually exist), the website looks like a premade template off that free Microsoft program, there is no details whatsoever of who they are, what or where they might be flying ( although the picture is of a Nomad :rolleyes: ) and they want you to pay them $147,500 i.e. double the going rate, for the privilege of being "selected" for their training program?

And I love this bit i.e. they want the money up front

Obviously April Fool's has come a few days late in Australia :mad::mad::mad:

I thought it seemed pretty dodgy, between the website and pricing.

defiantly seems a bit risky :S
they stated that the aircraft they will be flying is a "36 seater jet" and they didn't name the model due to legal rights but all that come to mind is the 36 seat embraer 135 jet.

interesting to see these guys have gotten there act together and seem to be moving forward. Terminal @ YMEN and AOC approved, still yet to see aircraft though...

Free spirit running Melbourne to Burnie I hear on the grape vine, interesting choice of aircraft

Try this simple test. Go to their website, try to book a flight to anywhere with them.
Do not confuse them with a similarly named airline in the USA which really does fly real aircraft to real destinations.
