Qantas Recruitment
Two words ENTRY BARRIER
You are a barrel of laughs. NOTHING is a given, only death and taxes. I may not wake up tomorrow, or an asteroid could destroy the earth but on the balance of probabilities you would have a reasonable chance of a thirty year career, starting at 25, moving companies or countries, for an investment of $130k

Cadet pilots I flew with abroad, lost their livelihoods and were professionally vulnerable. However, many were also highly educated outside of aviation and have moved on having seen their pay halved. Perhaps they live for the Great White Hope, a pilot shortage, yet they know from experiences from their own sausage factory license production and dumbing down of the job, supply and demand is rarely a favourable equation.
I’d suggest you are a mug to go into this game one dimensionally ( as a cadet ) thinking of 25 years plus of “reasonable” wages. My first wage as an airline co-pilot adjusted to inflation is today a command wage in an LCC. The industrial landscape here seems grim.
Starting out now as a cadet pilot? Develop your professional mobility as early as you can is my advice.

No need to get agitated or abusive with folks contributing to the discussion. I’d suggest your clear inference was an investment that secures a future as a cadet pilot at QF.

Seems to just be hour building in GA up north or instructing if you can find an operator to take you on with ~200TT. Not many opportunities at the moment with many graduates unemployed in the industry. There has been talk of the academy trying to get GA partners to offer us jobs but nothing confirmed.
No need mate. It is very liberating when you realise that you no longer need to stay beholden to one or two greed driven ingrates. There is infinitely more to life than flying and a further infinity to life outside of Australian airline flying.

I don't have an app in but I have a few friends who are waiting for correspondence after completing their sim assessment. It has been a month since they completed it. My understanding is that they still have pilots on the 2018 hold file and a huge training bottleneck.

Apparently they had around 400 to interview from the round earlier this year. Could be a while until they need to reopen applications.
Still haven't interviewed (or contacted) any internals at all, so to back-up morno's sentiment, will be a fair while until applications re-open you'd assume.

Number of guys now having to choose between mainline and Atlas, with many going the latter. As many as 6 new starters pulled out of the last QF ground school apparently.
Guessing the issue with the US/no confirmed commute would be having a young family with little/no support. Otherwise, seemingly a no brainer.
