Hello everyone,
Just hang in there and be extremly patience.
Qantas had just announced their half yearly financial results and naturally it wasn't a good one.
3Q22 (January, February, March) their international flying is at 22% pre covid level
4Q22 (April, May, June) they're predicting it to be at 44%
On top of that they are experiencing a surplus of crew in long haul, until flying is at a good percentage they are in no hurry to recruit.
Worst thing is to hire people and not giving them work because there's not enough to go around.
From application to ground school it could take a good six months, or even longer.
Application to assessment = usually around 2-4 weeks, otherwise 2 - 10 plus weeks (most likely in this instance)
Medicals = 3 - 4 weeks
ASIC clearance = 6 to 8 plus weeks
Certificates (if you haven't got one already) eg, swimming, 1st aids, rsa = 1 to 3 days depending on what you're studying.
In mean time just continue what you're doing and build on those 'exceptional' customer skills.
It will come, slowly but surely it will.
Best of luck to all 👍🤞😄
Thank you so much. That all makes total sense and is reassuring.
