Qantas Recruitment
Don't let facts get in the way of a good rant 😂
Utter garbage.
19 March 2020: Alan Joyce announced they would stand down 20,000 staff.
20 March 2020: LHEA voting opens
21 March 2020: Received Stand Down notification
Good luck holding PIA when you don’t have a job to attend.
As for your suggestion of legal protections, equally fanciful.

Pinstripe Solutions had all the ‘intel’ you need.
You mean the company that wants over $300 to help you with your Resume and $250 for interview coaching?
I actually did an interview recently and I was asked which prep service I used. I replied that I hadn't used any. I then asked why and they wanted to know and they said "we know which questions each prep company uses so we ask different ones".
Now I don't know anything about Pinstripe but 95% of people I know who used a prep company for Resume or Interview help said it was a complete waste of money.

Yes, I feel the prices are getting a bit greedy. But it’s supply and demand so probably justifiable.
They actually do a good job and get you where you need and how to articulate a model answer.
Recruiters know and appreciate this and can see the effort you’ve put in to get the job. Much better than struggling through a response.
What I don’t agree with is them selling your interview questions to people without giving you a small discount on their services in return.
I've used Pinstripe a couple of times. I don't know of any others.
A good pilot should be prepared and I see interview coaching as helping you out with strategies to deal with what can be an uncomfortable/stressful situation. You don't do job interviews very often (hopefully) so you want to bring out your best. Would you do a practice in a sim before a sim assessment? What is the difference?
And FYI each time I got the job I was going for!

Couple of things to note. Recruiting in that era stopped in early 2009, and didn't restart until mid 2016. As the indications for next training year will be as big as the current one all those who started in 08/09 will have a chance to bid for a command next TY, so likely that some 2016/17 starts will get a command slot next TY to start their command sometime in 2025. So time to command should drop to about 8-9 years.
As for the time to command for someone starting this year? That's variable, and as you know the industry has ups and downs meaning it can be many years depending on where you fall as the wave ends. Currently forecasts with retirements and new aircraft into the fleet show the number of Captains needed overall to increase by 200. Half of all current Captains will hit retirement by decade's end.
Currently it's 16 years as last command awarded was an 08 start.

2025 training slots for commands should get down to 8 years seniority providing the fleet renewals go as planned. These would likely be 737 commands too and not A321.
But they'll probably still need new pilots onto the 737 as more will leave for LH, and I think it's safe to say they'll still be training pilots onto the 737 in the 2030s. They were training pilots onto the B744 in the late 2010s with that fleet nearing retirement.
