Well it sounds as though FA recruitment is going ahead. Where are we at as far as Flight Crew? As far as I am aware interviews have not taken place yet, havnt heard of anyone even being contacted yet, except for thanks but no thanks letters.

Rang them this morning to find out what was going on. Apparently there is a short list and they will be contacted shortly if not already. I just used the number they provided on the website.

Well, they may not have an AOC, but they have a F1 car with the Ozjet logo on it. Saw it going around in circles at Indy. Must not have had Michelin tires. Looked pretty cool!

Yeah, I must admit, it's all very humbling. They've obviously done a better job of it than anyone else as a "start-up".
If they've got those kind of resources they can get new planes at a later date once they know they have a going concern anyway.
Good luck to 'em. I don't want to fly the plane..I wanna drive the car!

That's just it... Use fully owned/depreciated jets to start = low start-up costs. Once it proves to be a goer (and no-one knows for sure yet), they order some new planes. Quite smart actually!

People seem to forget the parent company of this operation are no "Virgins" in the sky. The grape vine suggest they have a couple of Jumbos and a small flock of these 200s buzzing around Europe on a daily basis. Will it get up ? - anyones guess .

Yeah and if they've got charters running around Europe to offset the cash burn of a new operation in OZ, it won't flounder. If they can get through the first couple of years, it should work out.

There is something far worse than that!!!! Its called the Metro Sim at the Ansett Sim Centre and I believe that is where Ozjet sim rides are going to take place. Good Luck to all candidates you will need it on that contraption!!!
