are the odds stacked againt you with the typical HR numbers game of picking the best 20%?
Also anyone know what bases are likely for the Dash 8?
If you meet the score requirement you’ll get the gig. There’s no quota on how many they need to fail/pass - they are desperate for anyone with a licence.
Bases:
Melbourne (good luck living on dash8 wage)
Sydney (you’ll need a second job)
Adelaide (best value)
Whatever base you choose you’ll be locked into that fleet for a while. They couldn’t keep FOs in Adelaide for a long time so hence the seat lock.
If progression onto qantas group jets is what your after in the future then I’d be applying for Rex.
Might want to ask the panel salary expectations for FOs with your experience as it does vary under new EBA.
Goodluck!
