Eventually however the plan will be for all bases to be fully transferred to the 321 in 10 years, but there’ll be some 737 bases remaining too as that aircraft will keep operating for 10 years. They may run 2 aircraft per base for a while and then eventually fully transfer all flying to the 321 but the exact timeframe for that hasn’t been decided.

Except Adelaide have been told they won’t get 321s, so the base will probably die a natural death when the 737 goes.

stuff has been ‘announced’, just not to the general pilot population. But Sydney base is first. Followed by Perth. You can bet your bottom dollar that Q will engineer it so all positions are reserved for 737 pilots to minimise cross training.

Well that’s 100% happening - it was in the variation to the EA adopted last year. Current 737 pilots get first pick, then if not enough put their hands up it goes to general bidding, but I think they’ll get enough to put their hands up for it from current 737 crew

Anyone know what start date 787 courses are filling currently?

That is not correct.
Reserved positions only exist if there is a surplus on the 737. The 321 will need crew before the first 737 retires so there will be no surplus initially. Also dozens of 737 crew take LH positions every year so that will absorb mulch of the surplus.
There will be some reserved 321 positions but expect plenty of the 321 slots to be filled by LH pilot promotions.

qantas will do what is the least cost. While in the perfect qantas pilot bubble seniority would determine the positions, there will be minimal, if any, positions on the 321, at least in the LHS, available to LH crew.

that’s how Q has always worked.

given the hours we do in the LHS I can’t see how they will claim there is ever a surplus, but they’ll find a way. They always do.

Yeah the initials will not be promotions. QF went to great effort to write the variation to fill it with 737 crew as much as will be possible and we all know they're capable of engineering the situation to fit their intentions.

Anyone heard back from QF yet since applications opened up?

Skankhunt 2nd Nov 2023 01:18

Na nothing yet here. Closes November 5 so maybe hear something then.

And don’t be shocked if it takes another month beyond that to get an invitation for your aptitude test.

The main point here is don’t stress about it yet or get heavily invested into courses designed to get you through the aptitude tests or interviews, because it could be a slow process. Worst case, you may not even get an invitation this time round.

Chillax for a while and think of other things

Are you kidding? :ugh:

It had to be a joke, surely, but just to make sure…

The no’s have gone out.

you talking about QF applications right? Anyone else heard anything?

High time, current Boeing guys who left the QF group less than 2 years ago? I know of at least one who got the ‘no’. Not even psych testing, the unwritten 24 month rule must still be in place 🤷🏼

skypilot646 17th Nov 2023 22:33

Do all the no’s get sent out on the same day?
