I reckon 'soon' isn't quick enough! I've just lifted this off Qrewroom where a colleague of mine has posted it.
Training opportunities expected over the next three years are forecast to be 350 Command and 580 First Officer courses in addition to the recruitment of approximately 500 Second Officers. Given the growth of aircraft, anticipated retirements and subsequent training ripple, this will be an exciting time for promotional opportunities for Qantas Flight Crew.
Great news for all current QF crew and the next 500 to add to the ranks.
A word of warning though.....it was a pilots shortage and impending numerous promotions that resulted in QF starting up their cadet courses in the early '90s. As soon as they signed the deal the domestic pilots dispute hit as well as employment dropping off to nothing until mid '94.
