Hmm, I'm in two minds as to whether to air this publicly or not, but I will and suffer the flaming I may get.

If you think your going to get bored flying with QF then it's probably a waste of time applying, especially if you intend to jump ship as soon as you can. The job isn't just about destinations and how many a/c you are certified on - well not in my mind anyway and it's pain in the proverbial flying with crew who think it's a holiday they're on!

I know there's probably a common view that you might as well use each airline as a stepping stone for a better a position etc, but it's quite frustrating working with people who see the role as a temporary.

The majority of the people who fly out of the LHR base are quite dedicated and I have to be honest we probably don't need anyone less.

Anyway, think carefully about why your applying and what you want from the role. There's nothing worse for you (and other crew) than flying with someone who thinks they've won only the second prize.
