I don't know or care.
However the ability to do it should be there, as per the MOU.

[SixDemonBag]

1 I think. 380 s/o

[goodonyamate]

Once on the mainline list in an MOU spot, is the pilot eligible to bid for any vacancy? Or do they see out the term of the MOU as a 380 SO, and can only bid if they resign from JQ?

[*Lancer*]

JQ pilots under QF MOU can bid for any vacancy with no change to their fixed term.

Thanks lancer. Is there an initial freeze period? E.g. The 380 SO position could already get PER 330.

[*Lancer*]

No initial freeze period. Recent intakes have been awarded 380SO and 737FO transfers within their first 6 months.

I guess the only restriction would be the return of service limitation. If you can't serve 2 years on the new type then the company can choose not to award you the position. May mean a decision on whether to stay at QF or return to JQ would need to be brought forward before being awarded the slot.

Just completed my medical and X reference check..... do they send you to the shrink before or after the medical? Also, was there any rejection after the " the all done " lately ?

Cheers guys

Joseph Goebbels would be my first choice. And that is not entirely a joke...

[Keg]

Yep. I vaguely recall hearing 12 (or maybe 22?) on the 744 and possibly even some on the A380. Foreseeable and predicted when negotiating EBA8.

[SandyPalms]

Apologies Keg. I amended my post.

Looks like the Day One Lottery (beyond the A330 and 787) is Back. Good luck to those who win.

[A320 Flyer]

Any news on upcoming courses for those on the hold file. What dates have they got planned...?

[Keg]

25 Jul, 22 Aug, 19 Sep. Every 4 weeks for the foreseeable future.

[theheadmaster]

Foreseeable and predicted when negotiating EBA8.

Do you mean EBA9? Predicted by whom, AIPA or Qantas

[Keg]

Oops. Yeah. EBA9.

Predicted by every one line driver that I ever spoke to about the EBA and day one lottery! I suspect that AIPA probably called it also.

[Wobby]

The "low time" path via Qlink has started the rounds again!!

Is the hold file ranked or are start dates allocated in order of interview?

Yes I answered "can you give me as much notice as possible?" Chair rang me next day and said I had a job, just let us know the earliest you can leave the RAAF.

You mean back in the days when they knew what they were doing....

I asked one of the pilot interviewers that question during my assessment centre and without it being an official statement, he mentioned if you were deemed suitable to be placed on the hold file, then no further ranking would be applied.

Not withstanding, just curious to know how much time had passed since people had been notified of their hold file placement and being given a start date?
