They must have a reason for it, otherwise they wouldn't have bothered creating that specification in the first place.

They might want to get guys they can easily mould with no 'bad habits' along with future years of service. When I joined QF they deliberately 'sought' that balance.

Don't try to double guess, it will be as your Juju has written. Take what they throw at you, TRY not to double guess, just sit back, relax (as much as possible) and enjoy that famous (insert group entity here) service.

Wink

Give it herbs, myself and mates have a couple thousand hours each. We all applied level 2. But I also heard of level 1 guys who done psycho testing as soon as they applied back in March? They haven't heard anything since tho

Question

The guys I know getting in DE have twice as many hours as I do, with over 1000 multi turbine, I can't compete with that.

Has anyone in this thread actually completed the traineeship? From a few years ago? If so would appreciate if you would pm me, would love to get some info from someone that completed the course and was eventually employed by qlink. Cheers

You had a recent Sydney interview tulsami?

Does anyone know where the training will be conducted? As far as FTA is concerned, it's not with them?

If you don't want single engine vfr instructors why bother interviewing them for Level 2 Traineeship
Did you have an interview and get knocked back?

Anyone who just done 3 days of testing in Sydney care to comment?

Any ideas on what they're looking for?
Training involved if they're successful? I gave unsw a call, guy I spoke to hadn't heard of this level 2 traineeship, then went on to tell me it would be a 3 month course, no different to level 1???

Sounds all up in the air

I'd imagine they'd score all applicants from all first round interview locations?
Brisbane next month.

They have both sydney and brisbane interviews next month. It will be interesting to get details on the course. The latest ive heard is the course offered by UNSW is tailored to the Q400, including engineering and performance, along with the mcc sims

Tulsami,

Nothing new mate. You forgot over 28 years old and/or have flown outside Australia.

Anyone who still thinks that hard study and flying a good sim will get you the job are living in the past. It's all about profiles now. HR depts are all about candidates with x amount of hours in x age group with multi/turbine or whatever else the flavour of the month is. If you happen to be in a group that is "underrepresented" in aviation your in.

The more inexperienced you are the longer you have to stay to pay back your bond. The more inexperienced you are the more likely you are to accept lower conditions. The more inexperienced you are the less likely you are to rock the boat.
It's ok cause the Capt knows what he is doing.

Inexperienced is the new black.

What evidence do you actually have to back up your statements?

The vast majority of new faces around Qlink in the last 6 months are white males aged over 28.

So if they aren't chasing inexperienced people why offer the trainee program at all?
