Is there an option to commute as a qantaslink pilot?
I know alot of qantas pilots who are based in the eastern states but live in perth and commute for work.
Is there an option like that for qantaslink? also what is the rostering like?
Is it a strict minimum of working 5 days per week? or are the rosterings flexible in the sense that you can condense all your flying into a couple of days for the week?

The odd person has and does but in reality no, it's not possible. Maybe if you went part time but otherwise expect to work five days a week.
If you wanted to be away from home for five days at a time and head back on days off then you obviously can but what sort of existence is that?

You do realise that the hold file isn't actually a queue..... If they like a later applicant more than you, they'll come in on top.

And then realise after a few years that I should’ve waited because America isn’t the answer.
Latest update - calls for Feb start went out yesterday. MOSTLY/ALL DE's.
I suggest guys who are on hold for Traineeship 2 look into other avenues if you're not flying a twin/turbine.
Cathay Pacific have just opened up recruitment, AIR NZ are actively recruiting and SkyWest if you fancy a one way ticket to the US.

The way I see it. Pretty sure operators will take people with jet time in the US over say single engine turbine time. Hope its the other way around because I'm sticking in Aus!

I’m getting close to thinking about applying for the traineeship. If there is anyone here who would be willing to chat with me about their experience in getting in/through and thoughts on it, I’d love for you to PM me. Thank you!
