whats the natural progression for a QLink pilot to Mainline? Do the majority go through JQ first?

[roundhouse]

Could anybody be kind enough to let me know how long to expect currently or what your experience has been with the hold file for direct entry? PM me or on here, cheers.

There isn’t one. Plenty of 10 year captains wanting to go across that still haven’t. Also plenty with a year or so experience that have.

[spondonicle]

Will there be another ground school before the corporate shutdown for the year? Or would the 5 November course be the last? Asking for a friend.

[Rotten Tommy]

I don't know off hand for this December but typically courses do start in December and January. I see no reason why this year would be any different, a lot of people to get through.

[roundhouse]

Anyone got interviews coming up? Heard the 767 sim broke again

[muddywaters]

Would like to hear from those who managed to get a spot. What were you're experiences like? Like you expected? Job satisfaction etc

[HappyBandit]

Muddy....Not a newbie but have flown with several very fresh FO's lately and they have all said that the training was extensive (both longevity as well as knowledge covering); and all noted that they are really enjoying the job so far. (NOTE: Not a wind up, simply stating the facts after sitting next to these new guys/gals)

G'day Folks,

Does anyone know when the next ground school is going to be held? Jan or Feb 2019? Cheers.

Offers

I’m wondering if anyone has received an offer for the course starting late January?

Thanks in advance!

2019 Update?

Anyone have any idea about the expected movements this year with Link? Still monthly-run courses? Preferences for trainee candidates with little/lots of hours? Hold file wait times? etc etc

[Burleigh Effect]

Any updates for 2019 - from those in the know - would be greatly appreciated.

[Brakerider]

Few courses happening recently with predominantly overseas pilots with turboprop experience.

[Purplemoss]

Does anyone know how many people are starting each ground school course?

[Dempster]

Direct entry commands here we come 😬

With so many local pilots on active hold?

Yes - you should be contacting AFAP. They are pushing back hard on this but seeing as though the labour proposal has already been approved there is not a lot that can be done.
