Is that similar to your advice about doing the PATS stuff Makiko?

How many people get knocked back on the SHL testing? If you only need so little (1/5) why do it at all? Or are you saying that 20% of applicants get through for externals?

Sounds like great advice from "the gang". Everyone I know who was at Rex got in before internals that were on hold from previous recruitment drives.

Does anyone have any idea when the first interviews are kicking off for 2024? i.e Late Jan, Feb?
Any ideas on when potential start dates for 2024 interviewees could commence?
Cheers

Does anybody know if there was new assessment centre slots released today?

Interviews are kicking off from 18th of Jan.

Good luck to all.

Calls for April 2024 starts went out this week.

Hi all,

Anyone know roughly when more interview slots will be released?

Rumour is the 15th of every month. Not sure if any were released this month.

Just wondering
 

Just wondering, maybe I've missed it.

It sounds like the LH EBA will be up for negotiation again soon. Can anyone advise if there is talk of improving (amongst other things) the salary of the Second Officers on the new pay scale. Not really a liveable salary in the major ports.

How low do people think the A321 may go on the seniority list?

Thanks in advance!

That ship only recently just sailed and it might not be coming back for a while.

Plenty of SH slots available in most ports, that pay in excess of LH SO rates though. Just saying

What ‘ship has only recently just sailed?’

Didn’t AIPA put up a court challenge to the B scale? That’s probably a better shot than them negotiating an increase for the new Second Officers. Especially noting that they still haven’t even got a sim or qualified any trainers on the A350.

Surely the longer it goes the stronger a case gets….

As long as they keep getting application numbers well in excess of positions available then there’s no incentive to increase pay. I’ve heard about 1000 applicants for 200 positions to be interviewed throughout this year


For F/O? Probably the same as 737. So within a year or so for most.

Is that out of those given assessment centre slots? In other words, if you have an assessment centre date, what is the chance of ending up with a start date?

same job, same pay - aside, the concession was given away on the last EBA. That’s the ship I was referring to. Court proceedings will only delay the inevitable…when the plane actually NEEDS pilots to be trained on it.

No I believe that’s total applicants. Not all applicants would get the go ahead to start the assessment process, and not all of those who are assessed will make it to the hold file. But I’m not sure how many got invited to be assessed.

QF Domestic Cabin Crew Applications
 

Hi everyone, does anyone know when QF will put the call out for Sydney based domestic cabin crew applications?

Is there a future in mainline short haul? Qantas currently has 75 737s that are being replaced by a confirmed 20 A320s. With the current recruitment taking pilots direct to the 737 what will happen to the excess short haul pilots as the 737 fleet is reduced?
