Because the guys that qualify DE have worked hard to meet those minimums. They've probably done everything in the power, sacrificed a lot, and taken on all advice the previous generation have given about building experience and the rest will follow, to be overtaken at the line by someone will 200 hours in their logbook. Surely a DE applicant would add more value in the cockpit and to the company than a freshie? Isn't that why just about every company in Australia has some sort of minimums?

I'm struggling to grasp your comment about being 'overtaken', run your own race, worry about yourself.

Who's to say these UNSW guys and girls haven't made sacrifices? You make a comment about experience, there are some DE guys who arent setting the world on fire at present. The fact is everyone is trained to the same standard, the cadet v GA entrant argument has been done to death.

On the Qlink careers page for Direct Entry it specifies:
or 250 hours or greater PIC of a single engine turbine aircraft greater than 3,400kg MTOW
Has anyone actually got in with SE turbine in lieu of multi?

Can I get away without completing the psych testing within the specified 3 days...
I know everybody doesn't like psych testing but I need to practise for this stuff... It's really not my thing. Especially with a busy weekend of work etc.. I don't want to blow my chances before I even get an interview.

Haven't had time to prepare for a potential assessment?
Anyway, even if you had a week to practise I don't think it would help. The questions are left of field and made to make you feel you failed.
I think I know of one person who sat there's on the 4th day....still got invited for an asssent day.
Good luck!

Im DE on hold from November. Do you know anything about viewing our status and current application on the new Workday recruitment system? Ive been told Taleo is about to become redundant.

Pretty pathetic on Qlink's behalf that there are many quality Level 2's on hold with no clue when, or if, they'll ever get a call up. What was their aim of interviewing so many Level 2 applicants if they're only taking DE guys?
