Anybody have any info on Jetstar Japan? It appears from their website, that they hire FO's without an ATP and type rating. From their website, their minimums are:
First Officer Positions - Minimum 1,500 hours total time of which 500 hours may be helicopter time
- 500 hours PIC or First Officer on multi-engine aircraft; and
- 250 hours PIC of which 150 hours maybe ICUS
- Glass cockpit and multi-crew experience preferred
Doing some searching online, I'm not sure if they are flying now or not. Wikipedia has them starting service in late 2012 with 3 A320 aircraft with orders for 24 total.
I went through their painstaking application process online and am just wondering if anyone has any additional info other than the above?
FWIW, I'm currently a EMB145 FO and have 2600 hours 121 but no 121 PIC and no types. I do have 1900 hours PIC from a 135 outfit which included Barons and Caravans but that isn't terribly impressive it seems in the expat flying market. I'm sick of waiting for the upgrade, it's been over 4 years at my current company and have decided to start looking elsewhere to try and move up the ladder. I have no strings and have no problem moving to one of these places, I just want to be sure about it before making the jump.
