And if someone could also answer these questions I have:
- What are the chances of getting Brisbane FO basing?
- Do you currently get Qantas staff travel? What is the priority?
- How many sims do you do a year? Where is/are the sim(s) located?
- How many hours flying/duty per roster? Overnights?
- What are the requirements for Command? Roughly how long have people been with the company that have just been upgraded?
- It seems if your dream was to one day fly a jet, you gotta apply to companies that operate jets... who knew... Just want some info to make an informed decision.
1. Improbable in the short term but not impossible.
2. Yes after qualifying period. I don't think there is a lower priority.
3. Twice annually, two consecutive days, 4 hours per session. Sim is at Alteon Centre near the
old BNE Intl terminal.
4. Depends upon base, from almost no overnights to almost every trip being overnight. Hours also vary with base.
5. 5000 total, 500 IFR PIC, 1500 > 5700 kg, 1000 jet > 15000 kg. 5 years or less for some.
6. It has never been any different.
