Sure, it feels like ages when you're waiting. But the unfortunate reality is, not everyone is going to be successful, as there are only a finite number of positions available. It may be that some candidates are put in a hold pool for later in the year as attrition reduces numbers, and they again require more operational crew.
A couple years ago when MAM was heavily recruiting it wasn't uncommon to be on a hold list for 1-2 years before being offered a position. So who knows how it's going to go this time around. All we know is, there are only so many positions, and there are still people (both internal & external applicants) waiting to hear back. Don't mean to be doom and gloom but trying to give you all a realistic view- there will be people who will get a No. How many of those there are remains to be seen, I don't think even Qantas themselves know exactly how many they need, it may have changed with the reduction in capacity recently announced.
