Qantas 787 recruitment for cadetship
I think it didn't CASA long to be persuaded that proper ICUS sectors on commercial RPT operations (where they act as if in command and make all operational decisions under the supervision of a Captain)
What really needed to happen was for the ATPL requirements to change and reflect the fact some pilots will go directly into the RH seat of an airliner and never gain command experience until they are given a command, but that that is ok as long as they have the significant FO time to back it up before hand.
Both bought jobs!!!

Just heard on fairly good authority that the first round of hiring will start in April, but not onto 787 onto 330. 35 S/O's being the rumoured number. And I don't usually put up rumours on this forum but I am almost certain it is correct.

LWOP pilots are already employed. I understand the 35 are NEW hires.
Apparently we are 100 short today. Especially on the A330.
My bet would be Cadets initially, subject to QLink releasing them, as the recruitment department isn't ready yet.
I seriously doubt they can even find the letters of intent.

Ditto the remarks on the A330.
The planned flying is supposed to increase substantially on that aircraft this year.
I doubt very much it will be increasing the domestic portion of it.
The only reasonable conclusion is increased international which will result in an increased requirement for S/O's especially.

If 330 flying is to increase Internationally why are they pulling crew rests and toilets out of the -200s and configuring them Domestically.
Exactly, that's why after the last pilots took VR only late August last year that they are now advertising four Command and FOs slots. It's now official that OJM and OEB are staying, however I'm sure Alan won't dent the record profits by upgrading the interiors and IFE. The place is dysfunctional. Management are hopeless . They make money despite themselves.
Dragon Man, are you sure that it's OEB & OJM?
OJS/T/U have been scheduled to be retired in 2018/19 so the way I read the statement by the crooks that run the place, it could mean that two of those three B747's would be put through their third "D" checks and remain in service with the six ER's.

Il,stick my neck out here and say none of the 747s will go in the next 3 years. The first 8 787s are all I believe for new routes. So, what routes could the 747 come off and be replaced by an A330? None I can think of even if they had surplus 330 to do it. All the 747 routes need 350 seat aircraft. Qantas management are proof you don't need a long neck and feathers to be a goose!

I hear the number of SO positions will be 170 by the end of 2019. Personally I thought they'd need more than that?? (End of 2019 is a while away)
How many cadets will make up the 170?
