It was interesting to note that applications are open for QF cadets (
http://www.qantas.com.au/info/about/employment/pilots) , but the cadetship is not confirmed until September (when the big Q better understands its situations after SARS and other world events).
Just interested in if people think it will go ahead, I heard rumers that Qantas is going to get 777's or possibly even more 737's - you would think this means that they definitely need pilots. You would also think the deliveries of new aircraft and the A380's expected in 2006 would require a steady intake of pilots? Perhaps not
Indeed a strange situation
