NJS recruitment
Man, such a sour mob.
There's a reason airlines ask for them. Because supply still far outstrips demand, So why not ask for the highest experience level.
Just because you missed out, doesn’t mean that everyone should be called “Austranauts”

NJS Ops manuals require FOs to have 500 multi. When that changes the minimum requirements will change. Until then you caravan kings will have to try elsewhere and the Qantas cadets won’t get a chance with NJS.

As soon as QGPA used an existing training organisation (FTA) they added no extra pilots to the total amount being produced. You could always go and get a license from FTA before the academy came along...was probably a whole lot cheaper and more fairer too.
and yes, airlines will change their minimums the minute it suits them.

Aren't minimums usually implemented for insurance reasons? I'm not too well versed when it comes to operators deciding minumums. Would love some insight.

“Hi everyone
Thank you to those who have provided an update on what has been happening post graduation.
As you can imagine across the Group we are ramping up our operations to support customer demand.
Resulting from this ramp up, we are reviewing and potentially expanding options for Alumni graduates which goes beyond QantasLink (Turboprops).
Below is an expression of interest (EOI) form for all Alumni to register their interest in Airlines and Basing across the Qantas Group.
You will be required to rank your preferred airline and base. This EOl is open from today and closes midnight Friday 2 September. Note this is non binding and ONLY open for Alumni graduates.
Any questions please reach out.
Cheers

They aren’t going to create a massive training academy system (eventually suggested they’ll graduate several hundred recruits per year over several locations) and then tell them to all go out into GA and try and find work in an environment where GA is declining, on the hope that in a couple of years they may get a call from QF. Word would spread and no one would apply.
This system was designed to supply the majority of the group’s new hires for the future. People outside of the system will have to accept this, and that traditional pathways will be less common.

It has virtually the same affect as having a stack of group pilots on active hold.
every qlink/jq/network pilot who is on active hold at QF Mainline is 1 less pilot going to Atlas/overseas. Golden handcuffs in full effect.

But are they just creating a captain vacuum?? It's all very well to put low time pilots in the RHS but are they also going to waiver the command requirements too? If they are not all that will happen is low time pilots fill up the RHS with noone able to be promoted. The hard question for the insurers is then going to become are you willing to give someone with barely ATPL requirements, and maybe a few years experience a command on a large turboprop or 100 seat jet??
The whole system to date has been propped up by an excess of experienced pilots. As that diminishes because noone wants to pay market rates, the experience will leave and go overseas leaving a gaping hole in the swiss cheese in this country and a experience gap that this country has never ever seen before.
