Thanks Don for the reply.
My point remains.
As I understand it pilot recruitment was previously 'managed' from Qantas Building C. The manager's office was very close to the Chief Pilot's office.
Has this changed?
Who actually controls the recruitment process?
I will wager that it is no longer in the new Qantas building C, more likely it has moved to HR in another building. Do pilot recruiters reside in those offices?
Therefore, given the reality espoused above, any pilot input will be minimal from a flight operations perspective and as such the 'talent' is simply presented to flight operations for a given start date.
Would very appreciate being corrected on this process, but suspect that the files and 'control' of this process is nowhere near the pilot body. Corporate hierarchy love it that that way
