So you can speak for all of those can you??
Don't concern yourself. If people want to take the opportunity they will. If they don't, they won't.
Life is not all about sitting in the same LHS for the next 15-20 years

3 years, no jeopardy, Nov 04 seniority number 1649 (most junior 330 PER FO 1648), same money, 10-15 (at most) days per month at work, 4 crew (i.e. proper crew rest), QF LH EBA, overtime, stable roster, no Jetstar.
Just ask the RIN'ed 76' FOs.
This is a no brainer. If you don't like it, go back to 78' command at the end of tenure and that's it, or take advantage of three years to see where the "group" is going, keep you 04 seniority number and make the most of it.
CCQ on to 330 - QF have a contractual problem with new hires, must be onto 330 and now 787. 330 training is at capacity, need bums on 380 seats, MOU - 330/320 endorsed pilots to 380 SO training path. Simple solution, I think there will be more than 4 slots filled.

If you've heard nothing yet then you're still in with a chance as so many others have received a negative response.
Send an email, they don't bite.
Nunc est bibendum
Mulisector, suspect it won't be until closer to the end of the year. 1300 applicants last time. As of a few weeks ago there were still a couple of hundred to go through.
Nunc est bibendum
Just under 100 in total since we started August last year- 60ish were ex cadets and LOI holders. That's forecast to continue at 16-20 per month until the end of the year at least. There are some training capacity issues that may see a couple of intakes smaller than others.
Nunc est bibendum
The following is crystal ball gazing. I've got nothing official or unofficial. All of this info is freely available to any QF driver who can read their emails and do their maths.
That was 170 to operate the first 8 787s. Given retirements, expansion of flying hours on the 737 and A330 fleets the actual number required by the time the first 8 787s arrive is likely to be closer to 250... or more. Heck, we'd taken 72 on the A330 before our first S/O started on the 787 so straight up that's 240.
Keep in mind the delivery schedule for all 8 787s has been accelerated so that all 8 arrive by the end of next year. With fixed dates and slots against a number aircraft beyond that- which admittedly QF may choose not to take up- it could be a big few years.
On the downside there are 5 744s due to leave. It only about three aeroplanes worth of capacity due to slow flying the fleet and current tight crewing numbers for the current number of airframes so I wouldn't expect a RIN on the 744 until early- mid 2019 at the earliest depending on where the current crew choose to jump to in the interim.

In search for some advice..
I have been put through the recruitment process where everything's completed (I believe). It has been 6 weeks since a psych interview was conducted and I am yet to hear anything. I emailed them 3 weeks after the interview for a possible update and was told to sit tight. Has anyone else had to wait this long? Are the chances still good for a place on active hold? I have people in my ear saying no news is good news but I can't help but wonder, but remaining positive! Unfortunately for me it's also a case of missing out on certain endorsements and moving up the ranks which I totally understand from a business point of view.
