Never gonna happen mate. Even now at least 50% of mainline entries are external applicants (Cathay expats, heaps of Rex people and former employees of Vara and Virgin. From a HR perspective they then need to fill 2 jobs rather than 1.
The only reason Qantas take internals on is to dangle the carrot of “career progression” and keep people at lower paying subsidiaries for years longer than they should be. I personally know many people who are too critical in their operation to let go and thus they are stuck.
the best way to get to mainline is to be outside of Qantas. I have a mate there who says that Jetconnect only releases 1 person for each intake (if female will be expedited, and don’t expect them to respect seniority either they allowed people who were there 6months to leave before people who were there for 6 years…
