Depending if they have the crew to accommodate those new flights already by January and February, I think they will be starting to interview closer to November/December. Once that takes place then yeah, medicals need to be done and other admin things will take up more time but I dont think training will be 6-7 weeks. It says on this link that training is actually a 10 day course over 2 weeks.
http://mybookingmanager.com/projects...menttoQCCA.pdf That seems quite short as I did 4 weeks with Emirates (2 for SEP, 1 for First Aid, and 2 for service) But considering QF dont teach First Aid in their training and there is less aircrafts to learn, 2 weeks sounds like enough. I think it will be closer to the end of the year before anything starts up again.. hoping they dont ALREADY have enough crew on hold..
