It's not for me to speak for the FAAA in relation to your question midnight, however i am reliably informed that all new recruits will need to go through an interview process.

I think there are a lot of ozzies here with "casual" jobs who would require very little training who would love "full time" jobs. Many are obviously suitable as are the young people in new zealand. It would be highly desirable that these people be given priority given an existing level of experience and committment to Qantas, particularly those that you mention and the casuals.

Given that the union has negotiated the return of traditional International Regional Flying to Long Haul (where it rightfully belongs) i would imagine that the 1000 jobs being recruited into Long Haul in the next 12 months or so would come from just these groups.

Their experience will seriously reduce Qantas' training costs too
