From now on, when the cadets finish their training they will be reserved a seniority number while they do their two years industry placement. This means when they start with QF on the same course as a direct entry applicant they'll already have about 2 years of seniority on them!!
This means when they finish training they'll be able to bid for what they want, won't ever see a blankline, and will be more senior than someone who joined 23 months before them!!
This is absurd, i'm still trying to work out how flying a metro or bras for airnorth or skippers can count as two years towards your seniority for an FO slot etc, when most GA people have done exactly this already.
This has already affected about 20 recently recruited SO's and will affect every SO recruited from now on.
Very ordinary.
