QF Recruiting FOs Hawaii
Seen a post on linkedin from a QF recruiter about a recruitment drive taking place in Honolulu for DHC-8 rated first officers. Interesting, considering many local GAs queuing up for these spots? Albeit even footing the type-rating bill themselves if needed. Why Hawaii? #perplexed

Island Air just kicked the bucket. At one time, they flew the DHC-8:
What?s Next For Interisland Air Service In Hawaii?
Maybe they're trolling for Island Air refugees with DHC-8 experience ? Would this involve the 457 (?) visa to work in Australia ?

Interesting times.

I don't understand how this can happen though?
"This occupation is currently NOT on the Medium and Long term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) or the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL), so it is not possible to apply for an Australian visa under the General Skilled Migration (GSM) Program."
Can someone explain what I am missing here?

I remember last year they were targeting Canada, offering to pay relocation costs etc...treating them much better than our own citizens.

I'm still working on my CPL and requirements, but if I was CPL applying to Qantaslink and just being put on hold or not getting any response, which I have seen a lot of people post on here about, I'd be bloody fuming!

A flag carrier of convenience, lots of foreign nominee companies actually own Qantas..
They will happily employ Australian pilots provided they are cheaper. Lower labour unit cost is a very deep seated obsession.

It’s really disgraceful the way these visa’s have been abused. It was happening in ATC till the CEO was forced to concede that if there was no ATC shortage then it shouldn’t be on the list. Instead of investing in our kids and their future they just brought in ATC’s from overseas, while at the same time downsizing the training departments.
I was once a CPL and I can tell you I would be mad as hell if I was still trying to make a career as an airline pilot. How the government can buy this is beyond me!
If this was the case then all our pilots would have to come from overseas because without companies investing in training then there will be no Aussies suitable
Contact your local members and make as much noise as you can, tell them Qantas would have very few Aussie pilots if they had to turn up to the interview already qualified on their aircraft. Don’t let it just happen, it’s for your future and your kids future!
