SHL. I'm still "In progress". I heard some were asked for an interview very soon after completing it but a lot are still waiting.

Has anyone completed the process yet? Everything was completed very quickly and now no response since medical questionnaire.

A medical questionnaire for a job that requires a class 1 medical?
Someone will have to explain that to me.

Contact the HR department.

Sure they'll be able to fully explain to your complete satisfaction!

As it currently stands, EFA only employ type rated pilots. They will facilitate the type rating, however this means is you aren’t employed and payment wont commence until the type rating is complete.

Initial A320 type ratings will be delivered in the UK.

In the interest of balance, would you please quantify that statement?

Globally there remains an acute structural shortage.
Regionally, the shortage is more acute than in others.

I suspect they're trying to ascertain if the applicant has any outstanding WorkCover claims or rehabilitation in process.

Does anyone know if there's a hold file currently?

This thread seems to be a much more positive outlook on life at EFA than the more recent threads - has the introduction of the 330/321 changed things? I'm looking for a more up to date view on a typical roster, expected monthly flying hours, and command times - cheers.

It’s alright. Fly 20-30 hours most months. Sometimes it’s 1-2 nights a week with a standby and an available day or it’s a 4 day trip just depends. Worst part is no roster stability with the company able to change your days off up to 48 hours before without penalty.

There’s a bunch of people on the hold file for DEC, so unless you know people on the inside or within the QF hiring apparatus, be careful quitting a current job for EFA. They were accepted onto the HF two years ago! I heard there’s some good people there but hey don’t slam me for saying that. Two pilots just left- soon after completing 330 training. I suspect rostering and the cost of Sydney a factor or the fact there’s a massive pilot shortage and opportunities elsewhere. So do check the bond obligations.

If you want to be paid a joke of a wage to fly an a330…

A lot changes in 4 years.
Throw in COVID, a full fleet renewal and new management.
EFA is unrecognisable from the company it was in this thread 4 years ago.
