Qantas Recruitment Theory
It’s interesting that Qantas is hiring so heavily into mainline.
There are retirements, sure, but not that many that you need 10 new starters per fortnight. My theory is, Qantas is fed up with the high rate of attrition at all their subsidiaries. They are hiring on their new EBA agreed upon “B scale” pay and will shortly announce they have “over employed” to mainline and it’s either: go take LWOP and work for Cobham, Alliance or National Jet or you’re fired. It happened during the GFC when a bunch of good blokes were forced to go to JQ or lose their jobs…. Makes sense doesn’t it? No one will quit the subsidiary, quitting there is quitting QF. Employees for life. Well played QF. I’d be getting a right hand seat asap dudes. |
From the spreadsheets I’ve seen, mainline need to recruit that many just to replace the retirements.
Whilst there isn’t as much growth in mainline vs all the subsidiaries they’ve bought, I’d say the SO’s are perfectly safe where they are. The next few years will see lots of movement, irrespective of any increase to the fleet size. |

what exactly does COBHAM have to do with Qantas. |
It’s amazing what people come up with (and what they think requires it’s own thread, when there’s literally already a Qantas recruitment thread)
You clearly haven’t seen the training forecast for the next 5 years. … Someone merge this /thread. |

So reading the tea leaves it’s easy to see that figures of 200 new recruits per year for 5 years are accurate.
