This thread got buried fairly well! Any one had any more news on ground school dates? Anyone made it through from being on hold?

Seems like mostly DE entries and wait times are longer than 2018, as previously mentioned.

Any other news floating around? How long is the average wait now?

Below is from pprune user "Generate" who made up this strawpoll. Sounds like a good idea if anyone wants to say where you're at and see where other are at too.


Hi everyone,

I have created a quick anonymous poll for those who are currently on active hold. I'm sure many people are interested to know how long everyone has been waiting and this will hopefully give us some idea. Please only take the poll once, results of the poll are able to be viewed by the link also.

Cheers!

29 responses so far. A bit depressing seeing so many on 12+ months though, especially the DE guys!

Beats the generic email reply which leaves you with no clue. Glad everyone is getting on board.

Thanks again for posting!

Nice... do you have an idea of which bases are looking for more FOs?

Trainee F/O

Hi all, I have around 300 hours, CPL and about to finish my ATPL theory. Given my low time i知 on the fence as to doing my MECIR to become eligible for application, does anyone have guidance as to wether Q-Link have accepted or would accept a trainee F/O with these kind of hours?

They are still recruiting Trainee FOs with fresh MECIRs.

So the strawpoll is sittng at around 70 votes so far. Looks like an even spread of Trainees and DE. 1-3 months votes is dominating along with 12+ months votes, so it seems many are still being put on the hold file recently even though there's a long list already on the file.

February 2019 Interviews

Earlier this year there was quite a flurry of interviews. Hopeful candidates came from far and wide, 23 in one day alone!

just curious as to how many were given offers. Either for the hold file, or heaven forbid, a start date?

Well the thread has gone quiet, but not recruitment it seems. Qlink are advertising for Direct Entry F/O痴 again.

Has there been a significant reduction of the hold file?

My assessment was completed earlier this year and I received a spot on the hold file about 3 months back now.
