i guess the intake will probably be quite small given the figures. Major airline cadet program has figures of 20. 10 should be reasonable for Jetstar with a smaller fleet size.

so u saying that the 30 vacancy they stated in their website is quota for ONE year of 4 quarters?

thus each batch is only about 8 cadets?


don't forget there's still the ACP. if by your definition, JSA is taking in the same number of cadets combined as a major airline

but most if not all jetstar pilots are on contract basis? perhaps this programme is to actually let jetstar have their own pool of pilots ? in this case, there's no worries of pilot shortage. probably a bigger intake at the start to replace most of the contract pilots.

for other major airlines, they already got their own pool of pilots, hence the small intake?


just my humble opinion, got no experience in the aviation industry

yeah, that's one possibility..

perhaps they want their own pool of pilots and stop relying on direct entry ones..

own pool = "self trained" specifically for Jetstar Asia

not plucked from Jetstar or employed through applications(direct entry) from their online website

the people from OAA should give you a time frame when they told you you've passed stage 2 right?

maybe now there's alot to interview and they're not sure of Jetstar's schedule..

then i think you just have to wait for the call from Jetstar to inform you the day and time.. It'll be at T1.. Just be patient..

perhaps they are trying to learn a lesson from what happened to tiger airways recently.

jamelica u waiting for the 3rd round? yeah OAA did tell us.. but they didnt give a timeframe.. said it all just depends on Jetstar to schedule..

and i think the assessment stage for the ab initio program has stopped already? anybody still going for the assessment?

if they can find who they want with the current batch, i guess theres no need for them to be back again. is the course starting at the start of march or late march?

hey stallone, i'm pretty sure Jetstar changed the deadline. I remember it was 31st initially on the jetstar website. now they have changed it.

Oxford FAQ


What is the application deadline?
There is no application deadline but applicants will be judged on a first come first served basis. In the case of a course being full already, OAA will hold applications for the following intakes and notify you as required of the situation.

just happen to surf the internet, this is what i saw

The Jetstar Cadet Pilot Training Program is an 18 month program. The program will initially seek up to 30 Singaporean or residents in the region to join the program in 2011 with selection taking place in January and the course starting in March next year. Suitable candidates may have limited or no flying experience, however they must meet Jetstar’s requirements for aptitude, quality and safety to enter.

The Advanced Cadet Program is a six month program that will be launched in February 2011. It is designed to assist non-commercial pilots transitioning to commercial flying. Jetstar and OAA will be looking to attract experienced pilots who can undertake the course to obtain their ATPL and be qualified as a commercial pilot. There will be around 40 places available on this program.

does Jetstar really need 70 pilots in the next 1-2 years?
