Qantas Recruitment

[Brakerider]

For what it's worth, my details also got lost in the transition. Sent an email 2 weeks ago letting them know I couldn't log in, and couldn't complete the video interview as they had asked- no reply.

Thanks Keg. Will do.

For those worried they are unable to login to the new recruitment system, I'm in the same boat. I emailed them this morning and got the following response within a couple of hours:

Thanks for your email.

We are still working through applications and I can confirm yours is still under review at this time. We will be looking to invite you to an upcoming assessment day in the coming months.

Any updates regarding your application will come directly to this email address and not via the system.

Well Im glad Im not the only one with this new recruitment system problem then. Keg Ill send an email to the address you provided and hope IT and HR can work together to resolve.

[SpyderPig]

Just got the same response as above. Took less than an hour

[EY_Airbus]

[Spooled Up]

Took under an hour for the reply.

I applied on the last day, and was contacted the next day for psychometrics and online interview.
Online interview on the second day, and all psychometrics on the 3rd/last day allowed.
Received the xmas email and nothing else until I enquired this morning.
Though I was out of the race!!

To answer some of the speculation..

May 02 is start date for both A330 and the first 787 course of DE SO's.

Congrats to all who are getting the good news! Good luck to all still waiting.

I'm assuming under the EBA this would then mean all new hires on subsequent courses will be on the 787 fleet.

I don't think that that's necessarily true.

[amateur]

I thought that to address the problem with the 'first day lottery' all new hires would be directed to the 787 which would become the entry level fleet? Unless of course circumstances necessitated otherwise and the unions agreed. I could be completely wrong though...

[Beer Baron]

amateur, you are quite correct. The specific wording says:

unless agreed otherwise with the Association for operational reasons. The Association will not unreasonably withhold agreement.

I would expect that in this case they have Association approval.

There is not enough sim space available to train 2 courses a month on the 787 and more crew are still required on the A330 to back-fill what is expected to be significant training movement off the 330 in the new training year.

Forcing Qantas not to employ onto the A330 would have the undesired effect of preventing other crew from getting promoted as there would be no one to fill their previous position and disadvantage new joiners by delaying their employment.

Additionally, the only crew who would be theoretically disadvantaged would be new 787 S/O's who would be more senior to later joining 330 S/O's. However, for the first 18 months in the company Qantas can ignore seniority and allocate a pilot to whatever aircraft they like. So there can be no disadvantaged party for the first 18 months after the 787 starts flying.

This is just my assumption mind you.

How is QF supposed to fill A330 vacancies if they can't recruit onto it?

747-400 RIN?

[goodonyamate]

Expect a handful of direct entry to the 400.

I would think some 330 SOs would move to 400 if needed and be replaced by direct entry on 330.

[SonofCoco]

I had heard the DESO 744 rumour..I would jump at the chance to fly the 747!

Not that I'm so choosy..

Yeah, we're overdue for a 747 S/O RIN given that we've just retrained 10 or SOs onto the 747; the same pilots who were RIN'd to the 330 18 months ago. Oh, and let's not mention the dozen or so FOs pulled off the 330 to replace the FOs RINed off the 747 unnecessarily, who then also had to be replaced, costing the company millions. Don't start the APU too early though. Dickheads.

[Keg]

I did hear one line of thought that all RIN costs were put down under the 'transformation' bucket of money. Therefore not a direct cost to Flight Ops. That would at least explain some of the RIN lunacy. I can list 3 A330 Captains and 1 737 Captain straight up who had less than a dozen landings post training as F/Os on the A380 after being RIN'd off the 767- less than 6 months. I can think of another two who would have had only a year on the A380 as F/Os before retraining on the A330.

Such a waste.
