Despite what you probably think, those in charge of airline recruiting are not idiots
Unfortunately for the shareholders ……..they are, but even they just follow doctrine laid out by the bigger idiots further up the food chain. The main problem in this company’s future is the utter lack of respect for its greatest asset – its employees.
The current low cost model does not have a long term future. Not with a looming labour shortage. Something has to give. If it’s not the company’s attitude towards its employees, then it will be the company itself. It will run out of options when other LCCs with deeper pockets start luring its undervalued workforce. Alan Joyce’s cries for help on TV for a commercially motivated pilot training solution are the first of many signs.
I think recruiting within the whole Qantas group is going to be in for a shock very soon. $15 application fee will be the least of their worries.
Rod, they probably lost your application, or red flagged it for having enough experience to know what your worth.
