Could you shed some light about 'the timeframe' that you are supposed to hear back from your reference check?
P.S: Hope all goes well with your application

Any word on where or if this traineeship is being run in a similar manner to the FTA program 4 or so years ago? Are there any Level 2's who've actually been given a start date or is everyone just on hold?

G'day, did anyone else receive a confirmation that they have moved onto the psychometric testing stage? I got an email saying that I have moved to the next stage after video interviews about 2 weeks ago and they would send me another email with the link to the the psychometric test. but I haven't received this yet. Has anyone received the email with the link to the test?

Guys be aware that just because you pass the Qlink interview and sim and have your references called and then you wait around for a couple of months having heard nothing from Link and thinking that you're going to get in, you may still get a thanks but no thanks email, even if your references give a glowing report. Unfortunately I'm hearing this too often and from experienced GA pilots regardless of their multi time.

Chin up Mate, your not the only one. I'm in the same boat as you I had applications to other parts of the group blocked while on the file. Turns out it was the best thing to happen to me. Carriers elsewhere are actively recruiting and their processes are streamlined. From application through to job offer with a start date was 4 weeks. I would've been happy to see out my career on a TP, but now I get to see parts of the world I've never seen before and expand my experience.

I'm sure I'm not the only one in this position and there is probably many more who have waited longer than me.
I'm dont mind waiting my turn. But the lack of communication is a little frustrating haha.
Closer to a year for a few.
Also a lot of the new guys have been from unsw

As for the hardened GA candidate comment, I can't help you with that.
Didn't Qlink and UNSW publicly announce some sort of cooperation sometime recently?

I also believe all graduates go onto the Q400 if my memory serves me right?

At my level 2 assessment, many of the guys exceeded the DEFO minimums many times over...
We had guys on caravans, chiefys, kingair's and the rest of the gear flying up north.
Why is there any need to hire UNSW low experienced pilots?
