Qantas have no idea what’s happening next month let alone 2025 and beyond. The revision in training vacancies proved that.
Qlink have you by the balls regardless. There’s no reason for them to let you go any sooner whilst an exodus is slowly starting to happen. A small but insignificant carrot can be dangled with a “MAINLINE START DATE” but all that causes is a shift in an already sub par morale, when those with years of service get pushed aside for those who brownnose their way to the earlier start.
The one thing that they can’t control is the move to VA, personally it’s a no brainer for those who have been unsuccessful with QF.
If you’re on the hold and waiting for dates, there’s nothing you can do. It’s not like your waiting for the golden ticket. You’re joining a seniority list at the bottom - potentially after many years working within the group. On a B scale contract earning less than what you’re now with the hopes of getting a command again is slim.
