Qantas 787 recruitment for cadetship
A potential employer can't discriminate based on your previous employment. Ie, in this case, a suitably qualified and experienced pilot from JQ or Qlink has to be considered on the same merits as one from Rex or Alliance.
Heard exactly same rumour from several places regards hiring ratio, around 30% to be female. I know AJ has been pushing this line across the business for sometime. Really though whatever happened to employing the best person for the job?
As for other Qantas group pilots, I'm sure Qantas will take a few but they can always find a reason not to employ people who maybe qualified. They rejected plenty of fine pilots in the past.

They certainly have a smart legal and HR team to interpret the Act. But to exclude one group entirely, in favor of another would be difficult to explain.
I suppose we will see, I reckon fairly soon. Get your CV in order gang. There must still be a "Folder" of cubes, maths problems and psych test questions still floating around.....

They are VERY short on cabin crew and they have blocked further leave approval till next financial year. It will be the same when Qantas begins to hire for pilots. Link management will be blocking many from moving across!

Otto,
If that's the situation, have the crew gather their rejection letters together and call a good industrial lawyer. (Not FAAA). Apply to FWC and subpoena the interview notes and HR documents.
Takes some balls and commitment, but the HR managers and lawyers know that too.

I think it's fair to say, they are not all needed on the A330. New EBA and all that. Letters of preference updated.

As for training costs, seems lately that they don't GAF. The recent RIN's are a testament to that.

Reading the Long Haul EBA https://www.fwc.gov.au/documents/doc...a/AE415325.pdf
Would anyone be able to tell me what sort of "credit hours" to expect, to gauge an idea of remuneration as an SO at QF across the fleets.
Currently a Highline 320 FO with JQ, and would like to compare.
Appreciate any help.

Zac, base bay credit hours (MGH) are 160H in 56 days. 1043H pa.
Increases to flying (e.g. 180H), overtime if applicable, ODTA (travelling allowance), meal allowances, and some other bits are all additional but don't get a home loan based on it.
Overtime is the largest variable between the fleets: zero on the 787, a little on the A330, 20-30% on the B744/A380.

you forgot the biggest fleet the 737. No over time either. 12 hour duty extendable if required. only get paid for the credited sector time. Sit on the ground for a few hours, no pay.

Am I hearing correctly that QF will be moving away from the archaic RAAFesque style of psychometric selection and moving towards a new world process? Not saying that this is going to be for better or worse, just wonder anyone in the know can add any credibility to said rumour?

All I know is that with recruiting due to recommence in the next 6-18 months or so, they're taking the opportunity to review the way we've done business in the past and to update it for the 21st century.
The Sydney Swans' 'no dickheads' philosophy seems to be the model they're looking to emulate.
What it will actually look like, I have no idea. Time will tell. I hope the final product is as good as they seem to want it to be.
