Confirmed via reliable source. There is now such a shortage of crew in a well known regional airline and they are so **** scared of losing their pilots, they have a gentleman's agreement with a major Australian airline to stage their recruitment from a 'company hold file'.
Tell them to apply to the competition. QantasLink was once a great training ground for Ansett and then Virgin just as Kendell's was a great training ground for Qantas.
Such is the stupidity of these management types that they can't see that their training costs are probably more when they lose someone to the competition instead of giving them a seniority number, paying them well and then letting them progress to the bigger aircraft.
