They won’t allow s/o -> f/o on the wide body anymore. It was done a330 days but only a few got through and it was pretty much stopped due to the failure rates.
From memory it’s 3 years frozen as an s/o before you can bid back to the 320 as an f/o.

I have been hearing people have received invites to Qantas Group medicals that have been on the Jetstar hold file.
Is this a an attempt to audit how many people are still interested in the company after such a ridiculous period of time, or actually something tangible and recruitment is starting to move again?

They’re short in a few bases (and countries) no matter what the latest mantra is..... There’s a few people coming through, but its in small dribs and drabs at the moment.
AKL is definitely short, but the shakeup in CHC might be masking that for the short term.

Just tried to apply for Jetstar Singapore. I got tired of filling in the application after 40 mins. Same questions asked different ways and many questions that arent even relevant.
Surprisingly they didn't ask my shoe size!

If 40min of filling in a application makes you tired then Jetstar probably isn’t for you.

Or if anyone is one of those ‘dribs and drabs’; how long from medical to start?
I’m guessing they would like to get the new EA through with a ‘training wage’ attached before taking on a new truck load of hold file names..?
Good to know they’re still getting in...
...slowly...
Did the QF pre employment medical as requested few weeks ago and I was advised of a possible course date in a couple of months
Then a week ago I've received an email saying that JetStar isn't recruting anymore, and won't be recruting until at least next year.
Apparently they've stopped ALL recruitments.

Jetstar are heading into their usual cycle of having too many pilots to not having enough pilots. Melbourne based F/O's are always doing 5 night stays in Newcastle and Cairns to cover the flying. The F/O's going to QF are not being replaced so expect to see cancellations as a regular event. The new rostering system starts in September and is touted as the answer to the problem but it will just create new problems as there is a lot more paxing involved, and we all know how well the airlines can maintain their schedules with ATC and weather delays.

Have a a look at the September pairings. I think you’ll find there is actually a lot less paxing. For example on the ZQN trip we would always operate 2 domestic sectors then pax back to Melbourne (or vice versa) on day 2 of the trip. The September pairings have the crew operate each sector back to home base, which is a positive as I don’t think anyone particularly enjoys paxing.
The original document that was leaked a month or 2 ago appears to have been a furphy as it bares very little resemblance to the September pairings.
The pairings produced in June was a sample created by the system that will produce our rosters. I don't think it was a furphy I think it was an exercise in kite flying to guage the reaction of the pilots. They certainly got the reaction but not a positive one. Time will tell if the rosters are going to be better.

being able to see the pairings for a given month and being able to bid for them is also a massive advantage to the new system

Bid for pairings? We are talking about JQ right?
