I showed the email from HR to the Capt who was interviewing me and he said I shouldn't have come to interview with a lapsed IPC. I told the Capt I could have the IPC done in a few days which he replied "you can't do an IPC renewal in a few days".
The hiring dept at Qlink have some strange ideas.
Everyone seems to have a qantas group HR story to tell.
There are people that pass all stages of testing, then give good references and get a no, others turn up with 3 atpl subjects complete and are told “finish ur atpls and you’ll be on the next ground school”
One applicant came from NZ for an interview only to be told on the day “a NZ cpl isn’t acceptable”...
