You’ve worked hard to get where you are!
Taking a passion and turning it into a profession. But maintaining that growth and momentum really matters and it's what makes Jetconnect the ideal next destination for your aviation career.
Jetconnect offers an impressive range of opportunities for pilots to advance and shape their career. One aspect we’re particularly proud to offer is Type Rating provided at no cost, if you remain employed within the Qantas Group for three years. What’s more, our pilots receive full First Officer pay from day one – there is no training wage with us.
As a short-haul Pilot you can expect much faster career progression with us. On average our pilots reach the Captain milestone within three years. Add to this the training you’ll receive from one of the industry’s most respected and professional flight training establishments – Qantas Flight Training – and it’s clear to see why a move to Jetconnect is a smart one to make.
