JALways and Wasinc.net

[furlough-boy]

Just received an email from Wasinc.net letting me know that JALways is interviewing for 747 First Officers. However, to keep my resume on file I need to send a $45 administrative fee ??? What's the deal?

I got the same e-mail. It is funny because I passed the interview and medical an told them no thanks.

Same here. As I understand it, these guys were scumbags that broke off from Hawaii Aviation Contract Services and undercut HACS to get the contract. I applied through them as well as HACS only because it was the exact same application as HACS ( easy to fill out a second time ) and because I needed a job. They aren't getting $45.00 from me though.

Nope

Same here, Pay $45 dollars to get turned down because of their medical. All that to be based in HNL. Now if it was mainland based maybe then I'd pay.

There is a distinct chance that if only a small percentage pay to be interviewed, and half of them can't pass the medical, there won't be enough pilots to fill a class.

I sent them an email that said their web site s@cked and to jam their 45 buck fee.
