Jetconnect Interview
 

Hi Guys and Gals,

I've recently been offered a J/C interview and have to seriously think about the whole deal ( which is always so different to how you play it out in your mind when you send the application ).

I have done a pprune search but a lot of the stuff is a little dated and I would value some current input.

Could someone in the know please answer the following few questions PLEASE.

Do you still fork out for the 737 rating and can it be done on a subsidised basis with Q in ML?

Do you get any staff travel/priority if the answer is yes?

Are F/O's earning around $60,000. Is that in NZD or AUS. Can one afford to live in AKL on that money. Does anyone commute from AUS?

What happens on interview day?

I would really appreciate someone taking the time to respond.

GUARD:ok:

Hi. The only part I can answer for you is that $60K is very livable in Oz & Enzed.

Should afford you a decent life mate.

Cheers and good luck with the interview.:ok:

Why the PM?
 

Any chance of a reply on Pprune to everyone Hugh? Would save me posting the same request for info.

Ta

As per above, any further current info would be great.
What are the employment conditions/pay?
Roster paterns/days off/overnights?
How much leave per year?
Also does anyone have any info on the interview? Technical/Behavioural type?
Many thanks in advance for those who can provide some accurate information!;)
Cheers,
digB

Hugh... I concur. Info would likely be greatly appreciated by others. If you rather not post it, a PM would be tops!:ok:

Cheers guys.

Not quite the info you were looking for, BUT reported in NZ Herald a week or so back was the fact that Qantas were pulling out of CH-WN.

Same article quoted aviation analysts (who ever they may be) as saying that they expected Qantas to reduce activity in New Zealand even further, if I remember correctly they even speculated a complete withdrawal by Qantas from the NZ market.

You may want to check on the veracity of the Herald article.

Gee: Your so lucky...
 

Well done GUARD, on the basis of your Q's looks as if your've done alot of research on the company hey? Your really, really lucky to have JAGGED an interview with J/C and NOW your doing something serious about the pending interview? I hope you get your result you deserve...

Guard and others, if you have any questions on working with Jetconnect please do not hesitate to call me. My number ++64 9 256 7691.

Nice one Mr CP.....:ok: Just goes to show the power of Prune

Goodluck to all involved striving for that first Jet job:ok:

The offer would be even better if JC bonded, rather than asked for cash up front for the conversion course.:)

Thank you for your considered opinion DUTY OF CARE.

What are you so angry about? Have we met? I just asked a few simple questions from people who probably know a little more than the vitriol you've got to offer.

Good luck in your own future endeavours matey!!!!

GUARD:D

:confused: The information is NEARLY correct.
The terms and conditions listed above were at the last contract round but since then the salary has gone up 3%. A ZQN and ROT qualified captain is on 120,000 + the $15000 retention bonus.
Jetconnect currently operate only 7 aircraft with an 8th likely later this year.
I'm sure Jetconnect CP will fill in the details for you. Geoff... why are we employing Aussies when you know there are NZer's to fill the positions and your attrition rate would half?:mad:

Jetconnect website wuld b a gud place 2 start a search

Jetconnect website was broken for me.

Went to "register interest"

It asked me to join the database

I clicked "join"

It told me I had to select a career (pilot, cabin crew etc)

I selected pilot

I was then sent back to the same page I started on.

Perhaps they don't really want to employ anyone?

Sorry for the slow reply.

The info I gave GUARD was really of no use to anyone. I was only referring him to a mutual contact.

I have no knowledge of Jetconnect, sorry folks.

Dashim,

Are they the same NZer's (the ones which will halve the attrition rate) that have been heading up to Tokyo for job interviews?

Cheers,
Con:ok:

Con, they are probably going to Jap land because the contracts that are offering for 73 drivers (typed and non) dont ask for cash to pay for a rating:ok:

A company can't (and generally won't) expect any loyalty from staff who have no financial interest in staying:ok: How many VB/PB boys have left in the last 12 months? for sandier climes.......etc

Its not just Japan now that are offering contracts for entry-level jet jobs, look at EVA, and about half a dozen airlines in China...although you need to have the constitution of Trevor Hendy to pass the medical:ooh:

All the best to those guys getting out there and getting ahead!:D

Haughtney1,

I couldn't agree more.

My comment to Dashim was a personal jibe, all in good fun.

I am of the same motivation. T&C's in Australasia won't keep any other than those who "need" to stay.

Cheers,

Con:ok:

Hey contract dont u hate it when the wrong fish grabs the bait

You're Right Con

The very one's!

Lol.....
