Agreed.

It will be rather hard to pass a psych test while being unable to differentiate contextual sarcasm from a statement of opinion. Comrade :E |

Did I miss something in the past or is this a new requirement that internal applicants must have completed 24 months service with their current QF group employer?
Just noticed it at the bottom of the minimum criteria page. |
And no more Year 12?

or have completed some bridging course, which would be acceptable to them. I recall, Rex also requesting the same item in the past, in order for an applicant to meet their minimum educational standards, but that item has been removed, Virgin have done the same, it appears nobody is asking for year 12 HSC results, as a requirement, to enable an application form to be submitted by an applicant. If a person needs to do these courses, they're available via distance learning, just navigate the web, it will take about a year to complete each subject. I don't think anybody has got into QF or it's group of airlines, without demonstrating they have reasonable marks in the HSC or posses other qualifications, as a person won't be competitive enough. The latest Virgin flight crew ad. on the afap website, best summarised the process and outcome once a person submits their application and the outcome of their journey through the selection process. The ad. advised the following, which would be the same or a similar response from QF , in relation to an applicant's application. How do I know the status of my application? We will acknowledge the initial receipt of your application. We plan to communicate advice of the status of your application within two months initially, reducing to one month after we deal with the large numbers received after the invitation for applications initially open. The advice will indicate that:
It depends what lifestyle a person is prepared to accept and where they want to live. Not everybody will get into QF and flying isn't the only thing in life. Cheers. |

Seagull, I personally know someone who was employed into the QF group within the past 18 months that had not completed YR12.

I am a Y11 student at Victoria and I am pretty thrilled after hearing this news! But...like what everyone has discussed: Is it really FEASIBLE? It's like building a new private school-- a high amount of space, instructors and HR members are required. How could, and where Qantas get so many staffs at once despite instructors storage?
Good luck Qantas. And hope, their plan would really work. |
Qantas - contract type?
I am thinking about applying to Qantas... Can't find much info online.
Wondering if they have any short-term contract, or permanent only. Also, are they many expats? Maybe 30%? How many pilots in total? How many block hours are expected each year? |
Why do QF /Jetstar etc. and other Asian carriers, employs S/Os as "cruise only pilots"?
Surely it is safer to have three fully trained co-pilots on the flight deck sharing the landings, and getting experience. BA for example only operate with fully type rated co-pilots, necessary of course as many shorter 777/787/744/A380 LH routes operate with a two crew flight deck. |
A 787/ A380/ 744 F/O is likely to average about three PF sectors a month. Very difficult to share those around with two other people.
Safer? Skill level would likely decrease further. Certainly much more expensive.... and therein is a big reason why companies have S/Os. |

No short term contracts. Permanent only. Not many expats. Mostly Aussies from our rich multicultural history. About 2500 pilots in mainline. About 800 stick hours per annum. I put a post up about S/O pay a bunch of pages back. |

It doesn’t matter what the question is, the answer is always “money”. :) |

About 800 stick hours per annum. TIC, friends, calm down... |
Is Qantas actually running courses at the moment? I’ve heard through the grapevine that the latest 787 was delayed due to the problems in crew training (we all know it has nothing to do with Network/Jetconnect), to allow them to get ahead of the curve and stop the need to spend huge amounts of money in Singapore.
