The training department is running flat out at the moment. The 400 dept is ramping up but the 300 sim has been working flat out training all the JQ NZ crew.

Keeping each ground school to under 10 pilots will hopefully stop the bottlenecks.

Having said that, in the past there has been very little 'fat' in the timetable of the training. All it took was someone to go sick or require an extra sim or line training and the whole show went to ****.

Hopefully this time around things will be a bit better organised.

As it's been said previously, a ground school every 6 weeks for the rest of the year. That's the MINIMUM that QLink will require. Subject to demands, the plan is to place most onto the Q300 in SYD/BNE and possibly ADL. There are also a few courses for the Q400 into BNE and CNS, but I believe that those have already been filled.

Good luck on the app, don't sweat too much if you don't hear anything for a long time or that the wheels of progress turn at a glacial pace.

It'll get you used to life on the inside!
