Jatayu Air?
 

Hi guys and girls,

Could someone please confirm whether Jatayu Airlines is operational again? They are an airline based in Indonesia but they were defunct back in 2007 due to safety concerns however I did find that they were supposed to start operations again in 2013. Reason behind my question is because I have found a job posting on one of the many pilot jobs websites and the requirements are too good to be true...

I saw the same offer. I have written asking a few clarifications, but so far I have not received a response. Do You know something new ?? Better if we are two than stay alone

Hi Cowboy92,

Did you receive any reply via some other channel to your question?

Yeah I also have my doubts. An Gmail e mail address sets for me many Red Flags up.

I received a reply to all of my emails and I send them a bunch, even a draft of the contracts. So, who wants to go? ;)

I would avoid.. Here is some from CAPA.. It was revoked after the first flight (Proving flight) with DGCA inspector.. The plane has been sitting in BATAM, indonesia for the last 2yrs.. I dont know if another investor has taken over... 1st lesson in Indonesia.. Nothing for free.. No pay no job... You been warned...

"New Jatayu Air (Jatayu Air) is a proposed relaunch of the grounded carrier of the same name. The former carrier was established in 2000 and ceased operating in 2007 after Indonesian authorities revoked its licence. New Jatayu Air plans to base itself at Batam Hang Nadim Airport, initially servicing the domestic destinations of Palembang and Bandung. The carrier had intended to recommence services in Apr-2015, but had it's AOC revoked again for failing to comply with laws regarding the minimum number of aircraft. A revised launch date is not known. New Jatayu Air plans to operate Boeing 737-300/400 equipment". CAPA

Hello,


I got reply and also a contract sent to me. My mind was divided about it. So i kept asking some questions via mail.
Found out that the account to transfer the Money to was to a guy in India who is a pilot.

Anyway, I got a phonecall from him today and he said the he had serious doubts about my skills as a pilot because I changed my mind about transfering the money to him.
He told me that I could still join if I payed and than he just hung up the phone. I didnt get to speak anything.

Anyone of you have any experience with them ?

Well darn it ! eh ... there goes a golden chance ....

It is genuinely remarkable how people can read over and over again that this is a scam but persist to "chase the dream" at almost all costs.

BTW I get that some of you have been searching for that elusive first job for years, but really????

This is a scam guys...
I have contacted the Civil Aviation Authority and they told me some people are trying to be refunded but no chance.
On AviationCV they don't check anything. I already sent them an email but they can't remove an advertise straight even if it is not real...

What authority did you reach? The chinese or the indonesian?

It doesn't seem like a scam for me. Has anyone received a contract from them? I am waiting for it to see the conditions...

they also have this email: [email protected]

Why do you think this is a legitimate company? Btw they have 3 email adresses at the moment and I cannot reach them by phone.

They sent me this about their company (I am in contact with them for almost every day for the last two weeks): About us, we were the first and private airline company from Indonesia but had to ceased our operation due to certain reason and we are coming back again with our own aircraft. Initially we will start our operation in Hong Kong and Burma and will open up to few other South Asian Countries

They also sent me their company profile which I am posting you here.
I am also not sure whether this is scam or not, but they posted job advertisment for captains, first officers and trainee first officers. They require trainee first officers to pay 50% of a type rating before and 50% will be deducted from salary (2 year contract). Why would they post a fake job advertisment for captains and first officers if they don't have to pay anything?

Just contact the CAA request the list of active airline and decide :)
As a first officer rated or captain you don't receive any reply.
So I believe what they want is just money.

Well they said that they are not active yet...you are rated and they didn't give you any answer?

Hi guys,
I am also in ctc with them.
I did not sign anything as yet, I'm really concern about their legitimate.
Are you guys dealing also with the Head of administration ?? M.s Wutthu

Yes. My friend from Indonesia checked their address from the contract and there is not their office...

If you believe this scam and pay you lack the intelligence to be a pilot. Red flags everywhere, don't fall for it no matter how hopeless your situation looks.
