PPRuNe Forums - Qantas Recruitment

Hi Guys,I hold an ICAO ATPL license with a Type Rating for A319/320/321, and I have accumulated a total flight experience of 1800 hours, with over 1600 hours specifically on the A320. I am currently seeking employment with another airline, and I have discovered that Qantas is currently recruiting Type-Rated A220 First Officers for foreigners. Would it be wise for me to invest in an A220 type rating course at my own expense and apply to Qantas?

hahaha

Happy to be proven wrong.

Mate I’m a complete dumbarse with a degree in beer drinking only, yet I managed to get in. So there’s another theory down the drain.

haven’t heard of a ‘GA types’ getting the nod since circa 2018.
in fact my internal friends starting recently with thousands of hours jet time are telling me they are the least experienced on their course!

'GA types' definitely are getting the nod

I've successfully got in to 3 group airlines over the years with no degree.

SHLis the provider, have 2 weeks to complete. Would recommend job test prep for aptitude and EAT for interview work/write up.

Is it true that if you're at Jetstar your chances of getting into Mainline are lower or is that an old wives tale?

Very low, compared to last time there were substantially less applications, considering the absolute bull**** excuses they culled many people last time I understand why people have zero confidence.

Seeing how many people have rejected starts at mainline to stay at Jetstar it's a wonder why they are acting this way.

All times are GMT. The time now is 14:16.
