PPRuNe Forums - Qantas Recruitment

You haven’t disappointed me. I’m sure you’re magnificent :E However; You didn’t answer the question that I posed to Dragon Man. Let me rephrase it, since Sep 1 has been and gone

Are you implying that the second officer type check didn’t include any sequences below 20,000 ft, prior to the rule change ?

I think I'm glad to be on the cusp of retiring.

Well at least they're out and open about it. Nothing wrong with that - good to see they're not defined by their job!

In all my time at QF I've never wanted to stab myself in the eyeball harder than when sitting in the seat with my lowly 3 bars listening to a Captain ramble on about Federal politics for 2 hours (on more than one occasion).........

Obviously you’re not command material if you can’t steer the conversation gently in the direction of best superannuation schemes or where the best fishing spots are near his holiday apartment in Hervey Bay

Neither are you (tounge in cheek) as your comment is not gender neutral.

As someone who never made the cut, and most likely never will with qf, it’s upsetting to hear these types of stories.

What do you mean you most likely never will make the cut? Of course you will! If you really want the job, have a think about where you can improve, prepare well and have another crack. Never give up.

Have a sex change perhaps? Will drastically improve your chances.

I had a look last year at the recruitment numbers, the proportion of females employed was only a couple of percentage points away from the CPL/ATPL’s issued to women in the last decade. Maybe it’s not as disproportionate as commonly claimed.

Thought about it, but can’t afford that and my whole wardrobe upgrade.

Well, if women earned 10% of rhe CPLs but got 12% of the QF jobs that demonstrates a 20% hiring bias in their favour.

There may be other factors at work than mere gender however; it’s not hard to imagine that having to jump hurdles to break into this career may help develop the kinds of traits that test well in interviews.

Hi guys and gals,

Regarding this new and improved Qantas recruitment process, is it normal to take more than 3 months since interview, sim and medical and still yet to receive an outcome?

I have tried contacting them and they are always too busy to give me a straight answer. Each month I have been told of executive review then an outcome, but that has been a few months ago. Is this normal? Other airlines seem to get back to you a few days after assessments with result, but not at QF.

That’s unprofessional and a blight on the organisation

HS: Anecdotally, and compared to any pilot/union negotiation (or even discussion) with QF, what you have described is the rolled gold, red carpet fast track experience. No mere employee would expect the fawning you have just outlined. I’ve spent longer on hold to get an update on a pattern change! You must have slept with the CEO to get treatment like that!

Have heard that the planned pilot intake is being increased from 12 to 16 every four weeks - the additional four will be going to the A330.

The latest hold file update indicated they’re only taking 6 per course at the moment.

Yep. Courses increasing to 12-16... perhaps as soon as October course in four weeks.

All times are GMT. The time now is 01:13.
