100 + with consequential vacancies.
All bases on offer. (Maybe not ADL)

Assume many SYD SO commuters will be getting a look into Brissy. Are there many SYD 737 FO’s still waiting?

Nope

Haven’t heard of anyone getting dates beyond June. Are you also part of the July/Aug/Sept 2022 interview group? Seems as if there’s a bunch of us in this group without confirmed dates🤷🏼‍♂️ I can only speculate from mates in the system there saying training bottlenecks from internal fleet movement slowed external SO intakes between March and July. Rumour is it’ll ramp up again from July. 🤞 let me know if ya hear anything and I’ll do the same👍

Has there been any word on new hire courses having been filled beyond June?

Be interesting to see how many successful QF group applicants are keen to go straight on the 737 after years of getting flogged up and down the east coast at their subsidiary.

I’d say new hires would still only be offered SYD/MEL.

BNE I dare say will go as junior as those who have been employed in 2022

The last 73 Brisbane slot went to someone circa late 1800's in seniority in this training year. - what are we up to now? 2700? Even if you take out all the JQ numbers, you're talking 19 FO slots (plus a few residuals) for 500 (ish) pilots.

I'll be happy to throw down $100 that it won't go past people employed pre-covid.

Prior to that it went to crew in the 2200’s…it’s all dynamic.
Now with a 4 year training freeze and with the forecast movement in the next 5 years crew are being very strategic with bids and today’s B787/A330 SO’s most likely to be in contention for A330 FO slots…

If QF have FO slots for new joiners in BNE, they’ll have 100’s of experienced/rated 737 drivers from VA apply. VA is full of unhappy commuters with the only slots on offer there Syd/Mel/Adl. QF sounds like the place to be with the base and fleet options available.
