Qantas Recruitment
Touché. What would I know? I don't know. I do suspect hopefuls are not culled for no good reason and I'm tired of the blame shifting attitudes

You may be tired of blame shifting (although this is PPRuNe and collectively we're a whinge of pilots right?) but I'm tired of an HR department that trivialises our profession in a desperate attempt to validate their own.

Very Strong rumours the next 2 (5/6) will be brisbane based. Allocation for current pilots later in the year. Assume there would be a S/O base, as there is one for the A330. Just waiting on delivery confirmation is they chatter. Keg?
Nunc est bibendum
G'day Sandy. Yeah. Had heard that but only on grape vine. Nothing more formal than that but it seems to dovetail with the rumoured plan for the aeroplanes from Dec last year.
Next 20ish 787 commands and F/O slots (and I presume 40ish S/O slots) to go to BNE. I think these will be the ones alluded to in the NTFS as potentially coming this training year depending on when the aeroplanes are slated to arrive in the second half of calendar year 2018. SYD base with similar numbers for aeroplanes 7 and 8 with similar numbers likely in FY 18/19.
If the order for more jets firms up then probably additional training slots in 18/19 depending on when they're slated for delivery after 1 Jul '19.
I recall a rumour from 12 or so months ago that our delivery slots for FY19/20 were for something like 11 aeroplanes. Of course QF may not take all of them (if the rumour is even true) but if they do it'll make the training load of this year and next look like child's play.
How QF deal with the S/O slots will be interesting given that PER and MEL S/Os should get first go at bidding for the transfer to BNE, etc. I wonder if we'll see a time when junior pilots are recruited to SYD 787 whilst more senior crew in PER can't bid back to SYD. I hope it doesn't come to that.

With the 787 not operating until the end of the year, any news on how long new hires expect to be on the training salary? I've heard whispers of J* flying to get SOTs checked to line, but has anyone heard anything recently?

Thanks for that C441, not having luck with old user/pass combo and it says to contact an admin when trying to do password reset.
Just toying with whether it'd be prudent to give HR an email, obviously don't want to harass but just want to make sure I haven't been lost in the migration!

However, senior sources in the airline’s pilot ranks confirmed a new 787 pilot base would be set up in Brisbane to support a Dallas or Los Angeles-Brisbane-Perth-Paris operation.
Nunc est bibendum
Where was that article Sandy?
Perth- Paris daily is two aeroplanes. BNE- LAX daily is two aeroplanes as well. I guess it's possible within the current airframes.

Looks like an impeccable source

Lol. Of course!
Perth to Paris would actually be better for pilots given it's an expansion route rather than simply replacing a 744 SYD- LAX- NYC.

Longtime lurker, first time poster.
Is anyone actually still awaiting a response from post-psych test/video interview stage?
I emailed 2ish mths ago about the recruitment website system changing over and whether or not I needed to create a new profile/application. All they suggested was that until I heard from them, the app was still active and under review.
