Qantas Recruitment

How strange a thread turns into a pissing contest.
Would it not make more sense for the group to have a standard interview criteria and process for all entities, then negate the need for a final mainline interview?
It has always perplexed me how one can be flying for one entity go to the next fail an interview yet go back to flying at the original. In a world where we operate to SOPS why not bring it all in line.
Whoops talking common sense.
Back to mines longer than yours.

Exactly this, which is why I said what I did. The problem is that there isn’t one, so a “filter” is required. Think about NJS pilots who didn’t have to go through Qantas recruiting (and in some cases possibly failed in the past), and now all of a sudden work for the Group because Qantas bought them.

In that case, maybe we should ditch the whole recruiting process entirely. Go back to the old GA days of having to know someone first, then a beer with the chief pilot and you can start by sweeping the hangar out for a week. Is that your preferred method?

So you’ve obviously never done it, says it all.

The interview process no doubt has its merits but seriously if you are good enough for one group airline should be good enough for all.
Ps no I’ve never done the QF interview, probably wouldn’t get through the psych test!!

If it wasn’t so hilarious and the job not so important, it would probably peeve those of us who sweated through the testing legitimately.

Ya certainly get to know someone’s character that way! 😉

see some of the ones coming through lately.. if I wasn’t sitting next to them I wouldn’t have believed it.
Same happened with the Dragon Air Cargo guys in 2008 and Dragon Air ML in 2020, some bombed out at a CX selection years ago and later on joined CX at the bottom of the seniority list (not that seniority means anything in CX these days)
Regarding Qantas Group recruitment, I gather there are a few directly from the Qantas Group Pilot Academy joining Qantaslink and Jetstar. Obviously, they don't meet the hours required by external applicants, but do they go through the same selection and interview process with psychometric tests, group activity, sim assessment etc as externals? Nothing against cadets getting in though the fast lane, but just curious.
There’s also a screening while applying to FTA that has aptitude stuff in it.
Why would you pay extra to go to the Qantas Pilot Academy if you didn’t think it would give you an inside run into the Qantas group? Might as well train at the local aero club and pocket the difference.

For those who are asking about when applications for mainline will reopen - there’s just been an EOI for pilot assessors (current pilots to sit on interview panels) throughout 2024 so one would think applications would be open again soon, maybe even late this year.
If you’re close to the minimum requirements and wish to apply might be time to start making sure all the boxes are ticked.
