Hi!!!
You'll learn not to believe QF when they say things like you'll hear in 4 weeks", believe it when you see it.
Don't forget that they already have training school's for the next lot of casuals already in training. The last group of casuals going to Perth started training a week or so ago. There are also a lot of other things happening at the moment like the downsizing of the Perth long haul base, so they have to work out what's happening with all of those crew?
just be patient, good things come to those who wait.
