Last I heard, the crop that applied in 2022 will all be at QF by the end of August. Around 120 applied in the last application round, say a third get in which is similar to previous recruitment campaigns, then that is nearly two years at two max released a month. Worth noting it is at the companies discretion (so could be none) and not always two as well.
So much for progression.
I suggest if you want to work for QF apply to QF

Does anyone know if Jetstar has recruited any foreign pilots? Currently an airline pilot in Canada and would like to make the move over. Government of Australia lists aeroplane pilot as skilled occupation eligible for a visa and possible citizenship. ATPL holder with 2400 hrs.

Whilst "Pilot" is on the Australian Skills in Demand list, to obtain an appropriate Visa to work and reside in Australia you must be sponsored by an Australian airline employer and for that employer to demonstrate (a) a pilot with similar qualifications is not available in Australia, or that you have specific specialist skills not available in Australia; and (b) the sponsoring airline has a program to train an Australian pilot to the same skill level as yourself.
I can't imagine an Australian airline would sponsor, nor the Australian Dept of Immigration issue a work and resident Visa to a pilot with ATPL and 2,400 hours unless you can demonstrate specific skills not available in the Australian labour market.

I can demonstrate extensive de-icing operations and landings on 1700 ft gravel strips in the north at VV002 to differentiate myself to immigration

Can someone explain to me how our preferential bidding system has literally one option “option A” for 1, 2 or 7 days off? That’s actually less choice than when people were making our rosters. How does this happen!?!?
Interesting. I spoke to a VA 738 Captain who recently trained an ex. TUI F/O at VA so it sounds like foreign pilots are successful in small numbers.

You will find a division in most support offices, executive teams are all over the topic, the greasy pole lickers are also in tow, however a large cohort of well, pretty much everyone else, is simply over it and just want to get the job done without all the fluffy stuff. You speak out over this, you are simply sidelined or viewed as a non engaged employee. Senior Managers who are not on board are simply forced to make out like they are, as they know it’s not their business performance that now indicates if they have a job or not, it’s adhering and shoehorning company social progressive messages.
The latest in woke is one outfit looking at renaming teams ‘tribes’. They are doing a ‘deep dive’ into the subject as we speak. Which tribe of Pilots do you belong to? Coming to a crew room near you shortly…..

I have one better…One Chief People or Fluff officer, whatever you call them these days, at one operator, had a crack at Pilot Management as 70 people (pilots) ‘left’ the call as soon as her bit popped up on Town Hall to talk about ‘reconciliation’. The Pilots are not on board apparently.
‘We all need to be in this together’ was the comment made. The sad thing is most Flight Ops Management seem to bend over for HR ‘tribes’ these days. Hiring and Firing based on how you intend to follow any said corporates progressive stance. If you’re not onboard, please stand aside.
Sad really. Some of us just want to fly planes? Can’t you just let us do that?

Interestingly employee engagement and loyalty is inversely proportional to the rise of HR in most corporations.
One could almost say that they are there to create problems to justify being there. Like IT. Offering only a cost base to companies and not a profit base.
The sooner professionals in their own field select the candidates and peers they wish to work with and the HR experiment is put to the pasture, the better off we will all be.

What I find frustrating is the daily emails in the dozens and town halls about HOBITDA day and National Reconciliation Day, Rainbow week etc and when it came to International pilots day there was a single email sent at 1800 on the day :-) The crewroom now looks like Willie Wonkas Choclate factory with rainbow curtains, posters, disco ball etc……… Just makes me wonder how much time is spent of this sort of stuff as opposed to fixing operational issues such as the appalling rosters. By the way I belong to the ‘will use the FRMS system to go FTG to adjust my crappy roster’ Pilot Tribe.

You have not been listening to these town halls it seems. You naughty disengaged pilot! We will summon you to some online learning to ‘get you back on board’. HR will organise a ‘catchup’ with you later this week to make sure you are ‘in the right space’.
In the meantime, please see our new woke attached email signature template we would like you to add your email. It is 400 lines long, but we trust it will help show your commitment to our ways of working and community values. We look forward to working with you soon Ollie!
