What I think this emails means is… They may have something new implemented and they need to wait. They don’t have enough staff to train. They have now predicted travel to pick up later than expected and now have too many candidates on there hands and they will need to wait to put them through ground schools.
Does anyone know if the external candidates that were called got the same email? Bit confusing for sure 🤔

I think you're spot on.

Update email
Hey everyone, I also received the ‘Update’ email. Seems like everything is on hold for another few months sadly! Was hoping they would start GS in the next month or two, guess we just have to remain hopeful and wait for good news

Yea, it’s a bit of a bummer for sure. Hopefully not too much longer then for the rest of us. I wonder if they’ll still proceed with our pre-employment medicals as they said in a prior email 🤔

Assessment day
For those who have been to an assessment day, do they let you know on the day if you are successful to continue the selection process, or do you have to wait to find out?

If you are to progress they will email you within a couple of days to ask for references which is done by an external company called XRef who will contact you separately to begin that process. If you are unsuccessful you'll be told within a day or 2.

Hi, Qantas Group internals have been advised yesterday all Qantas International initial schools have been been put back to Quarter 4 of this year October onwards and 2023 with no firm plans.
Manpower forecasts have changed. They still have a lot of international crew on reserve lines not flying and also they are prioritising JETCONNECT recruitment and ground schools these NZ based crew operate on all Qantas international services along side mainline.
They have lot of Qantas Group internals now on active hold many have been waiting who accepted transfers in 2020 which were placed on hold will get priority for initial training schedules.
If you have not done the medical component yet that is good as they will make candidates re do the medical if it expires as well as re do security checks after an allotted time has elapsed. Active hold usually last for 12 months from time of application.
Hang in there this industry changes on a daily basis it’s very fluid at the moment

Fingers crossed some of us here from recruitment in around August then (given they said they will give us 8-10 weeks notice)

i honestly doubt that they will proceed with the medicals especially when GS could be next year.

This whole recruitment process is such a mess! Super disorganised. Sorry, but someone had to say this. After working for four different airlines, I have never seen something like this, especially coming from a flag carrier.

It’s going to be a long agonising wait for all of us. We are just going to have to put it aside for now and wait for Qantas to contact us further hopefully with some good news. Pray that international travel picks up more than what they have now anticipated. Checking this forum daily is definitely making the days go slower 😂

Back for another round
Hi guys.
I’ve loved reading over all your messages and I’m crossing my fingers for us all things move soon and in our favour.
I’ve done this process many times. I guess the main thing is don’t give up and everything happens for a reason..
I applied agesssss ago with QF domestic and got it, but then the GFC happened and my application was culled.
then again in 2017 for international and didn’t get it (however I think that had a lot to do with how I applied - internal when I was technically external and computer just said no)
again in 2019 and was successful and placed on hold for 2020 GS and we all know when happened from there 🤦♀️
so I’m back. Applied yet again, got my internal email last week to say all successful and now on hold. It gave no Indication on start dates or locations or anything..
this is for Melbourne base..
So is it confirmed that it will be training on all international a/c and not short haul:long haul as it was pre covid?
also for anyone who is over at QF any indication on time frames it might take to regain CSM/CSS qualifications after transferring over?

Seems, process can really be long in Qantas, but I guess when you get that golden call, makes it all worth it.
Just wondering, would you have an idea roughly how much does QF international get per fortnight? Just to help me plan ahead my move from middle east! In terms of rent etc.
