Deadcut,

Definitely easier said than done at the moment for low hour guys, he has been trying to do so for the best part of a year.

Any news?
 

I ran into a few Jetstar trainees/cadets recently at a local GA airport.

They had no clue when/if they would be offered a job.

Has there been any inside rumours/info on this situation of late?

Jq update
 

I believe that 95% AUS JQ cadets have been offered a job and have either completed type rating, or currently completing their rating.

Yeah,
With QF guys returning from LWOP, EK and other internationals vacuuming up people, there shortly won't be many JQ cadet graduates who aren't flying or aren't being trained up soon.

Just wondering does anyone know what the physics and aviation knowledge test comprises of for Jetstar?

2019 Jetstar Cadetship
 

Just wondering if there is anyone willing to share information regarding the Jetstar cadetship program for 2019. I'm aware that there are a few previous threads concerning the cadetship, however, it seems most have just spiralled into toxic arguments, here's to another try?
1. What can you do to make your online application stand out, to proceed onto the ADAPT test??
2. Are all these practice ADAPT tests you can find online very accurate (as most require payment)??
3. I graduated highschool a couple of years ago so I believe some basic math revision would be beneficial, however, is there anything else worth revising in order to be more prepared for the whole application process??
4. Any info regarding the questions they'll be asking throughout the interviews?
5. Approx. how many candidates are chosen for the cadet program?

I've already been in contact with CAE Oxford Aviation, and they believe the application process will begin around April again, they also informed me that having any kind of flight experience/knowledge gives you no priority over any other candidate...

Thanks

1. Be a female
2. possibly
3. Basic maths should suffice although i doubt anyone questioning your maths skills during interview process
4. Mostly about yourself and why you chose JQ and such. Do your JQ research
5. 10-15 I think

lastly, good luck. Enjoy the process!

Guys what is the upper age limit? Is it true that one has to cough out 150K upfront?

I'm pretty certain you don't pay the full 150K upfront, you most likely pay it in installments, just like when studying at a university (which is part of the cadetship), you also have the potential to get FEE-HELP from the government (I think they'll loan you around 100k). Based on past forums, I've read some people being accepted into the cadetship late 30s even, not quite sure 40s beyond

Thank you Captain. Much appreciated. So they are going to open the program in April 19?

No specific date just yet, was only informed to be on the lookout 'around' April.

Unfortunately, if I remember correctly... roger7060 only has Australian Permanent Residency, not citizenship.

From the J* Cadetship booklet (available here: https://www.jetstar.com/au/en/career...vs5-sept18.pdf )
Also, this course is designed to take 18 months, so it isn't spread over multiple years like a "normal" university course would be... the wording in the booklet would suggest all fees need to be paid upfront. :ouch:

Might pay to contact CAE and have a chat with them... better to get the information direct from the horses mouth:

Anyone know what the time commitment is for the course? Eg. Can days be taken off for special events etc?

what’s your definition of special event?
These programs are usually planned with every day utilised for flying/ground school with very little concern for extra curricular activities

Siblings wedding, or my birthday for example.

You can kiss them goodbye!

You want to be a pilot and your asking that question?

Don’t listen to those other Debby downers. I had a part time job and they were very flexible because they understand everyone needs to live, you can just work it out with your instructor. I was far too old to be living with my parents and/or living in student accomodation. Some mid week days are non negotiable but only for a few hours.

Thanks so much for your response, its actually been helpful and not antagonistic. Is it okay if I PM you?

Go for it.

That's as hopeful as asking how flexible is the sexual harassment policy...

Why bother commenting if you're going to be so antagonistic? Forget about it.

Jetstar Cadetship in 2023 and beyond
 

I am interested in joining the Jetstar Cadetship program next year. On Jetstar's own website it states that they are "Not Currently Accepting Applications." I am extremely confused as I am sure they took in cadets as recently as 2022. If anyone has any information on when they will open up again or if it is even still running, it would be greatly appreciated.

Also trying to figure out if you get offered a job or at least get an interview at the end of it all.

It's all done, look elsewhere. Apparently some of the Qantas academy graduates got taken by JQ recently so I guess that's the way forward.

They still took cadets in mid 2022, and since the mid 2020 intake, no one was offered a letter of guarantee at the start of their training, i know a jetstar training and checking's son who completed it december last year and now can't find a job, don't see it starting up again anytime soon.

The mid 2022 intake got letters.
