Its hard to sit hear and read some of this garbage without adding my bit.
Working for the link, jq qf or any group company doesn’t entitle you (or me) to a thing.
All the divisions have their own requirements and their own cultures.
Flying a jet ’aint hard. Its a retirement job.
The hard part is the interpersonal. The non technical. The art of remaining humble. Of fitting in to the culture.
Then doing all that stuff on a bad day when things are going wrong. Or right, but not your way.
QF pilots arent better or worse than anybody else. They have their own culture and the HR process is about ensuring you’ll fit in. HR doesn’t always get it right. What I can tell you though is most of the QF guys Ive had the pleasure to fly with over the years have been that same guy.
If you’re not that guy, or girl. Its not a big deal. Theres other places that will suit you and give you the career path you desire.
HR are probably doing you a service.
Sometimes it takes a little more maturity and perspective to realise that.
+1 for keg.
Cheers
