It takes ages to get any information or emails back. Could be months, I wouldn't stress. Just be aware the cadetship you are stuck there forever. No PIC, Jetstar contact isn't the best and they work really hard.

If you did the JQ program you wouldn’t be stuck there forever, 1500hrs as an Airbus FO and you can apply to mainline, or meet the minimums for QR or EK among others. Some JQ (and QLink) cadets have already done this so hardly “stuck there”. Outside of some Australian airlines no one cares about PIC time for non DE positions, especially if that PIC is on a lightie.
We can argue about the specific of the JQ contract but I think most would agree if that’s your first aviation job you’re not doing too badly.

I don't normally comment in this thread since I don't know anything about QANTAS' hiring practices (other than it seems to be a tough nut to crack) but an interesting tidbit came my way so I'll toss it out here:
Someone sent me recent pilot attrition data from Endeavor Airlines, Delta's wholly-owned regional. It comes from EDV's ALPA arm showing where the 60 pilots they lost in August went. The interesting variation on a theme was that one of that 60 went to QANTAS.
I am comfortable accepting this info as accurate since it came from ALPA. But I have no way to learn of the specifics of this person who went to QANTAS. To my knowledge, EDV never hired E3s so I'd have to guess how this person made the jump.
My uneducated guesses are: dual citizenship, married an Aussie, then I'm out of guesses. Just an interesting bit of info.

I don't know for sure how many pilots EDV has. APC profile says 2,043 but I don't know how recent that count is.

Could someone please share details on interview process for internals and externals. Is the process the same for both of them? What kind of questions are being asked on panel and tech interview? Thanks
Although the specific interview changes over time it’s usually the same format. There’s only one interview. It’s all behavioural based, you don’t need to know the specifics of any tech theory.
Behavioural based interviews are mostly TMAAT (tell me about a time), draw on previous experiences involving teamwork, leadership, communication, decision making etc. They may also involve a few scenarios given to you to assess your threat assessment and decision making skills.

Hoping for some advice from those in the know.
My wife is taking a non aviation job in Sydney next month and her visa has restrictions on who she can work for. But as her partner I have no such restrictions.
I'm a 58 year old Brit line captain current on A330 (c 3000hrs) and A350 (c 1000hrs) Total flight time c 17000hrs mainly on A340-300/600. Ex RAF multi jet. Still working in the UK for a major airline.
Would anyone in the know from QF think they would even look at me as a prospect? Or should I just relax into retirement? I still enjoy the flying but this job is too good for my wife to pass up and I want to consider all my options.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
