QantasLink Requirments

[ules]

hi i heard qantaslink minimum requirments for first officer is.
700 hours total time.
with 250hours command time

is this true. does anyone have more specific info on this.
and any one know the sallary? and endorsment costs on the dash aircraft?
:ugh:

[VH-FTS]

Don't believe everthing you read. Qantaslink are taking people in the final stages of their CPL training. Need around 200 hours TT though. No need for multi time, heck don't even need an endorsement - the Dash 8 endorsement will cover that.

The Dash 8 endorsement is now paid in full by the company and there is no longer a bond. They figure if they do the right thing by you, you'll do the right thing by them.

A FO salary is well above the award. You are looking at around $90,000 per year, then $200K as a captain. You work 4 days a week, home every night.

Ules,
Like FTS said, don't believe everything you read, including all the ****e FTS just wrote.

Well that's all good, but...will they pay my relocation expenses and do I get one of those staff travel thingies were I can fly to London and back for $5?

[VH-FTS]

My hopes and dreams are destroyed. :hmm:

[Towering Q]

It's OK VH-FTS, all is not lost....Mainline has dropped the physics requirement.:8

[VH-FTS]

Fark, I studied hard in high school for nothing! Just passed Physics as well...

You are talking about QL right? That seems very high in comparison to the figures I was told.

[KRUSTY 34]

Nice Wind up FTS!

[LAJ]

FO 80.000 Austalian dollars
Capt. 118.000 Austalian dollars
And those are correct figures. And include all benefits and lol etc.
The big Qantas is a different story. look at www.ppjn.com (http://www.ppjn.com) for info, what i in there is normaly correct, just remember to look at the posting date....

Happy New Year

That's interesting, the award says $42K for FOs and $65K for captains on Dash-8s. Are you saying the are really paying nearly double that, or is this a wind up?

You're dreaming, mate. If the above was the case, an overwhelming number of pilots would not be leaving for other pastures. Factual data is as follows:

Sustaining Fleet:

1st year Capt $ 81,378
10th year Capt $ 92,241

1st year FO $ 51,174
8th year FO (God forbid) $ 56,628

Q400 (jet-like speed, piston-like pay):

1st year Capt $ 87,074
10th year Capt $ 98,698

1st year FO $ 54,756
8th year FO $ 60,592

Hope this helps.

JARSE!

Are these figures still around the mark:

Sustaining Fleet:

1st year Capt $ 81,378
10th year Capt $ 92,241

1st year FO $ 51,174
8th year FO (God forbid) $ 56,628

Q400 (jet-like speed, piston-like pay):

1st year Capt $ 87,074
10th year Capt $ 98,698

1st year FO $ 54,756
8th year FO $ 60,592

Slightly better with cpi now roughly add another 3k to aforementioned figures

[VH-XXX]

With 200 hours or close to the end of CPL you'd be talking about a "traineeship" versus FO emplyoment.

Expect Circa $50k PA until you are free of your return of service and your endorsement is paid for.

[eocvictim]

Hey better than the J* cadet wages.


And cue thread closure. :ok:

[das Uber Soldat]

FTS, that was the perfect reply to a junk thread such as this. Thank you for brightening my morning. :D

[bigairbus]

Still would have to be better than working for REX!

FTS, that was the perfect reply to a junk thread such as this. Thank you for brightening my morning.


I was suprised to see my reply when I read through the thread this morning. Then I realised it was nearly three years old.

The funny thing was that my 2007 comment about 200 hour pilots wasn't that far off the mark as the traineeship was just over the horizon.

[pilotdreams1977]

"Q400 Jet like speed/piston like pay" - that is seriously a good witty comment!

[gobbledock]

Jarse is spot on with his accounting skills.

Q400 (jet-like speed, piston-like pay):

1st year Capt $ 87,074
10th year Capt $ 98,698

1st year FO $ 54,756
8th year FO $ 60,592

If flying above the clouds get's you off then this is the gig for you. If a wealthy lifestyle and early retirement are what you desire then you will earn more as a McDonald's store manager or truck driver at Bunnings !

[Spinnerhead]

I think you will find that those numbers were current from 01/07/07. You can add another 6% to those figures, and a total of 9% when the new EBA is agreed to.

[Horatio Leafblower]

Spinnerhead - I think you'll find he posted those figures 3 years ago :ugh:

(...and no longer works there.)

[Swear_in_GIN]

And are Qantas Link actually doing any interviews or hiring?

[polair911]

Hey guys,

just saw the QantasLink Trainee Program is back online for 2010, but it's saying it's an Intake 3. Anyway, what ever that means, just wanna share it on the forum! :ok:

[polair911]

just thought they haven't been recruiting trainee for a while.....I think I need to stay in touch with the industry more~~ :ouch:

[j3pipercub]

You can usually pick em on the radio... Speaking of which Qlink 406D on the 13/10 out to Emerald, sounded like he was giving centre and the freight metro some grief with separation, was quite funny to listen to...
