Jetstar Japan info

[jibba_jabba]

Hi All,

any chance the Jetstar Japan T& C's could be posted or pm'd please.

If any care to comment of the cost of living (in reality), transport, general paperwork issues and treatment that would be great.

Is it better to join Jet* Oz and then come over to Japan on LWP?

Thanks.

Thanks for those details.

It seems like a nice deal, but the fact that they want me to pay for the type rating is kind of ridiculous.

Proven wrong! but its closest to an asian forum.... if not point it out to the mods to move it to the Japan forum



Thanks T-MASS.

The requirements stated here are different to the ones listed on the Jetstar Japan website. The website says you must already hold a JCAB license.

Jetstar Recruitment: Attention

[Captain Dart]

Jibba, this is even closer to an Asian forum:

South Asia and the Far East - PPRuNe Forums

And for some strange reason, there is lots of info about flying in Japan on it.

Who'd 'a thunk it?

[jibba_jabba]

Yes Cpt-Dart,
correct you are; however your question about F/O salary etc posted in that forum got answered here so hopefully it will help.

I searched for 'Jetstar Japan' and that particular forum/thread never made itself very prominant at all considering it had recent posts in it! So, i'm going to blame i.t algorithms for the prob

either way, more info for the asia area cant hurt!
