For the application, you actually don’t need the license at hand - only for the interview.

Initial medical takes a few days if you are organized (hearing test, piss test, blood test, eye test) - processing times 2-4 weeks

You have plenty of time up your sleeve if you get on with it.

The IR has to be current according to their minimum requirements checklist. "Hold a current Instrument Proficiency Check (MEA) "

Does anyone know if theres a start delay once getting the yes from QF or do you go to the hold pool and wait?

What’s the difference between a start delay and a hold pool? 🤔

Either way, you go into a hold pool.

Everyone who is successful in the recruitment process goes into the hold pool. It’s a matter of chance on how long you sit in the pool before you get given a formal start date. Could be weeks, months or a year or more. You may get given a general indication of start date but nothing is guaranteed until you get the formal date.

Ok thanks…

Last year it was not a requirement - lets wait and see what the actual requirements are when they get released next week

Bare minimum 1500 over 10 years. At the moment each monthly course is between 15-20.

Is there any consistency in how many days off an SO can expect a month?

Could someone post junior rosters for the 787 and 330 (MEL/SYD bases)?

TIA

Couple a few weeks ago , all got through
Since heard a number of guys I know used them for QF mainline back last year, all started
Very slick is the word
Bit like Keyser Soze

Has anyone here used PATS in Melbourne? Right now they are charging $5000 !!! Any info would be appreciated.

FWIW my Nephew just did simulator preparation with the Nexgen Aviation Training guys in Brisbane. Said it was excellent. He was a cadet straight out of Wellcamp however.

I used PATS for my EK interview many moons ago. Wasn't 5K then.....

Do cadets have a special pathway to QF mainline like they do with JQ and Qlink? Just curious.

A roster is 56 days. You'll probably not work for about 30 of those.

RM 4.7.1 A minimum of 20 [10] duty free periods (subject to change by agreement between the Company and the Association) will be built into each pattern line, of which 18 [9] will be DDFDs.

For clarity the days in [square brackets] is for 28 day rosters…

Fonz121 9th Oct 2023 00:13

Yeah sorry, should have been clearer with that.

High_To_Low 9th Oct 2023 04:12

External applications now open - good luck everyone

well if you are a dumbass and you know you won’t make the cut, you absolutely need to get a one up on other applicants…$5K is not the way to do it though, there’s a much better and cheaper method
