Sorry to rain on the parade but I don't think there will be a snow balls chance in you know where for any recruitment this year.
As 380 flying returns to normal levels, the remaining fleets continue with an oversupply, capts and fo's on the 400 and 767s.
And so's on the 400 with numbers being moved to the 330 or 380.
It is just fortunate that the redundancy provisions in the award coupled with the assigment of annual and long service leave, has saved pilots from being made redundant at qantas.
The leave bank is reducing all the time and the threat of redundancies remain, particularly when the company argues it's lousy position wrt to the current EA negotiations.
I wish and hope this would change dramatically for those still interested in a career with qantas, but unfortunately, without a change in corporate direction the negative view remains. And that includes any recruitment and 10+ years for an A330 fo spot.
