Merged: Jetstar Recruitment

Just wondering how many guys and girls out there that have gone through the Jetstar interview in the past two months and have been given Yes are still waiting for start dates. I know of 5 friends still waiting. It seems like they are still actively interviewing at the moment.

Any truth in that the planning exercise is being discontinued?

Know of about 4 guys in the same boat with interviews completed about 2 months ago. 5 others going thru the process at the moment. Filling up the hold file for future use i guess.
Planning ex still part of the process as far as i know.

777

Im a regional capt with over 12,000hrs (6000 PIC Turbine). Have had an application in since Aug 09 and not a word. I wonder if its because i work for the Link and secret CEO business is going on again.

From all reports sounds like this is actually going to go ahead. The graduates will supposedly be used primarily as S/O's for the 787's.

74 World, you'll likely see 787 Dec positions come up first much to the incumbents disgust as the regulator imposes its requirements. The Dec's brought in for their 777/744 experience are now 3 years off type (5 by the time it gets here), so won't meet regulator requirements. The current Jq guys will bleet but thats about all they can do, Cheers.
