Ozjet
 

Anyone know what's going on at Ozjet?

Not a thing, but looks like they are busy here:

To the top for more info... All these views and not a response!

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.

It'll never happen.................IMHO !

This week Ozjet have applied for their AOC. The authority say it is the most professional application that has ever crossed their desk.

Oh, and at A$198 000 to lodge, me thinks Ozjet are go!!

I believe emails went out late last week providing further information on the next phase of the interview process.

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!

Driven on Bridgestone.
They were all in the points.
Good Year for OzJet!

Forget the F1 car, they have a fully decked out 737 with the ozjet logo and another one or two in the UK getting prepared.

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 .:suspect:

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.

Anyone know where the pilot interviews are being held and if they are conducting simulator tests on applicants yet? What type of simulator is being used?

The Sim From Hell: the 146 Sim in MEL. Good luck: you'll need it!! :} :zzz: :ok: :bored: :oh:

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!!!

yes i have heard that as well
but never had a problem with the beast myself its just a little pitchy all is required is a decent scan rate.:ok:

If they're gonna use a Metro sim, they may as well use the old Redifon,which I think was brought online about the same time as the 737's they plan to use:E
