From what I've heard and from reading this thread, a pattern is emerging where it seems many externals are being given options to be assessed for the group subsidiaries depending on how they go, or think they went, in the mainline testing. Perhaps there is going to be more of a focus to keep the morale up in the subsidiaries and get more internals progressing.

A while ago the word on the street was that the hold file for the previous round of applications was expected to be empty by August. Does anyone have any information on if that is still the case, or what the timeline might look like now? Any idea how many remain on active hold?

If a person gets into QF mainline as a pilot, they get in.
If they don't and are offered something else, whether it's only a Dash 8 position, they should take it.
Life goes on, there are other opportunities in aviation, with other companies world wide.
There's no need for people to get a headache, if they don't get accepted by QF.
QF have got their culture and way of doing things.

Not sure where is $59,000 keeps coming up.
It's been done before elsewhere. F/O's would end up on $85K+ by the time you roll in allowances. Especially given how busy everyone is at the moment.

Since December ‘17 we’ve recruited at least 61 but I don’t have the numbers for how many started in Feb and I think there was a second course in April. So it could be 75-90 depending on how many started in those courses.
The demand for 2018 was supposed to be 200. Course size will need to increase to meet that forecast but training capacity remains very tight. I’d expect larger courses later in the year as more training capacity starts to comes online.
My assessment is that anyone going theough the process now (internal or external) is unlikely to get a start before Jan ‘19. I’ve no inside info on that though, just a best guess and reading of the tea leaves.

There was a small June course of about 6 or so.
July course might be larger as they’re running both 78 and 330 ground schools.
I too heard some QLinkers have start dates out to December.

737 recruitment
Pardon me - I'm not a follower of this thread.
I heard jumbos are being used PERSYD because of a lack of 737 crew. Contacted People Services to see if I could lend a hand.
Was told the EBA doesn't allow direct recruitment onto the 7 3. Can anyone shed some light on the actual clause in the EBA?
Thanks

Lend a hand? Very generous of you. I'm sure that your future colleagues would welcome you with open arms.
Clause 17.1 if you really need to know.

I’m now more confident about the remainder of my post regarding 2019 start dates for those now undergoing the assessment process.

Hi DirectAnywhere,
Get a strong feeling that you're being sarcastic. The contact with People Services was genuine. Not trying to cut anyone's lunch.
Simply put, QF are using twin aisle aircraft because they have a lack of 737 crew. Add to the equation that here I am with a type rating, and the equation I can see is mutually beneficial for both parties.
Are you able to paste the clause please? I don't have access to the EBA.
Thanks,

the equation I can see is a bloke trying to jump the queue. Please do it. You would be welcomed with open arms by the FOs. The EBA is open for bargaining at the moment too. Let the street coffee line knobs know that it would not cause a problem and everyone is happy for you to jump the queue.

He doesn’t realise it doesn’t work that way. Has he seen any ads for DE Captains? Oh , he is from Queensland and he is here to help..I didn’t know Rudd was a pilot.
Oh yeh! He is yet another soldier of fortune aka I have done other things but I am quite content to come back to Oz and jump the queue to your disadvantage.

Wombat, I feel he/she does know how it works. I think it hilarious that they would like the clause in the contract. What exactly are they going to do with this new found info? Or better yet, what if it doesn’t exist, then what are they going to do? Will they grieve it? It’s just so laughable and totally ridiculous, to posssibly not be a piss take.
