Express Freighters Australia
 

A mate of mine has just been advised he is short listed for an interview with these guys. Does anyone know who they are for sure? Is it QF/Aust Post or is that just a guess?

The Search function above, revealed this and several other references:

May provide some clues :ok:

Thanks Capt, I had read that, but there didn't seem to be anything other than guesses. I wondered if anyone had any more news now.

Hey sandpit if your mate has been "short listed for an interview with these guys" why didn't he tell you who they were?

Hey 3 Holer - maybe they didn't tell him who they really are:bored:

So.....???? Who are they? Does anyone know?:confused:

Who really cares?
 

Anyone who has a short list of interviewees and won't identify themselves is sus ! Sounds like a fishing expedition to me.

Think its Qantass, using 4*733 from their NZ subsidiary.
There's also a media release on the Q's Website.

EXPRESS pilots will be interviewed and hired by Jetconnect
 

From a KIWI Jetconnect Captain.Quite a coup for them.
Qantas AOC .NZ Crewing company Jetconnect,to supply pilots from NZ JETCONNECT .Pilots there esp the Kiwis very happy about this.Aus dollar
= 1.19 NZ Super , 6weeks leave , travel .etc.
Yet to be told of ALL the conditions .
Apparently1/3 of the JC pilots registered interest.
Pilots also outside of Aus being considered
Pilots being contacted to be told of interviews pending next month .

sounded genuine.::ok:

I saw an earlier press release to say that they were using the Jetconnect B733's for the AaE contract, but nothing else about the crewing side has been floated about.

Has anyone heard rumours of basings? and are there any new runs?

This thread has bbecome awfully quite. Is it just the one person here who has a friend thats been shortlisted?

I have been shortlisted as well, but have not heard anything back at this stage. Assessment days supposed to be in early May, so things are not looking so good.:ugh:
KE

I received the email,along with 3 others in our company but no one has heard a thing yet.

Is that for a Captains position or for F/O?

F/O................

yes, i got the shortlist email as well. fingers crossed for an interview soon:) .

That would make me number 8 on this list.

I have heard up to 15 aircraft.

There maybe 15 733 but I don't think there all heading for express, would be great if your right though. Think there was mention of 4 in there article about the convertion there doing at Avalon. You would only expect they could convert 4 in the six month contracts there offering maintainence staff.

Are the guys on the shortlist all type rated?
