No. I'm a current Qantas pilot. Just trying to look after those trying to get past the gate keepers.

QF HR are the finest of individuals who are constantly overlooked in both the New Years' and Queen's Birthday honours lists. Their tireless devotion to duty is often under-appreciated by the common QF pilot.
I, however, would like to personally thank all the brave women and women who work in HR, who toil endlessly to keep the QF machine rolling smoothly forward.
If they were to use these forums to fast track my 330 FO slot, then who could blame them...

Guys I got through the QF process really easily and started with them about a month ago. PM me if anyone has any questions about the interview process and also starting out with them. Happy to help.

IsDon No doubt these management people would have a list of university degrees longer than your arm - you know, the really useful ones, so the end result is they would battle to organise a chook raffle.
But they are the smartest people in the room. So get with the program.

If you care to check out Boeing, Airbus and CAE the world is going to require 620,000 flight crew by the year 2030.
The Co-pilots required by 2027 have not yet started to learn to fly.
Good luck to the `clerks' in HR with the search and or culling.

The Qantas CP has been accessing PPRuNe through his PA since 2002 as far as I am aware so any potential candidates would do well to heed the words of IsDon. The co-pilots of 2027 won't be starting flying until 2025 on cadet courses, thats how HR will get around the problem. Lots of glossy PR about how great it is to fly 1000 hours a year and see the world (they won't mention that it will be from the inside of a hotel room on your 36 hour layover).

That will be called an 'extended layover' by then. 
767 isnt glass?
Probably had nothing to do with most likely they were just unlucky with the HR crap shoot. As you said already working at a major and accepted by another - all signs point to a meddling department.
Plus no recruitment dept is perfect. Good luck to em

IsDon is correct, however ALL HR departments and recruitment consultants these days are doing the same thing - they want to build your "social media/internet profile" and they use every tool they can to do this. There are also a host of new start up companies that specialise in trawling through the internet looking for your traces. They trawl through stuff like linked-in etc.
Examples of what not to do:
Have a pornographic email address.
Post anything to a website that could be regarded by ANYONE as extremist or bizarre (I once inherited an employee whose hobby was morris dancing seriously).
Let your hair down on your facebook page about what you did last night.
Post any opinion that could characterise you as angry, unbalanced, depressed, fixated or aggrieved.
Post anything that is not politically correct starting with admitting to not voting yes to SSM, being skeptical about climate change or confessing you think Pauline Hanson is sexy.
Trash your current or former employer on any website.
Please note that HR do not have a sense of humour. Please note that your mildly ingenious method of hiding your identity will not work either.
Ideally your profile should show absolute loyalty to you former employers, plain vanilla political and social attitudes, charity, chastity, prudence and similar virtues.
