Current Sydney based Long Haul ground schools are being told that future ground schools are now being scaled back, and at the end of the year it will ramp up again. This is a long drawn out process. Many currently in ground schools applied in 2022 (both internal and externals). Stay positive and all the best x

RSA question.
I’ve been requested to submit my RSA, I’m currently in the process of obtaining my “all states RSA” however it’s going to be a long turn around as they call you and book you in for a phone call after the lengthy testing.
This may be an obvious answer however does it matter which state’s RSA I obtain? I don’t recall it being this lengthy of a journey to obtain my RSA in the past for airlines, I believe I may have submitted my SA one without any issues.. was so long ago now I can’t recall.

Im a Qantaslink applicant, and I just completed a 1 day RSA course (I think victorian RSA legislation is federal). I then uploaded a copy of my certificate onto the Qantas site, and it was accepted. So Unless they have requested a specific RSA course, I would just do the local version of the RSA and if worried, check with your recruiter so you’re 100% satisfied . It’s easy to overthink the requirements but personally, i would just do the course they have requested.
Sorry if my advice is incorrect, just cos I’ve never heard of an international rsa, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. I’m just suggesting what i would do.

Hi, my ground school class was told on Friday that the next 2-3 weeks are always a quiet time when the allocations team don't place anyone in anymore ground schools because they're all full. He said towards the end of June they will start up again. It's because a few people were asking for friends who were waiting to get a ground school date.
Thank you very much for these information Watto and ⭐️Debbie 🙏
As lengthy as this process for some might be, lets hang in there because it is all worth it ✈️

Just giving you guys a heads up about GS!
My friend from AD on 7 March just got his Golden called today, offering him a Domestic position.
He then asked the TA about the international GS, the TA said all QCCA ground school are on hold until end of October or early November.
So, it seems like we are probably not getting offered GS anytime soon.
(by the way my friend he had applied both domestic and international)

But, I am so thankful for this,
SOoo much better than being told there will be NO GS at all. Can u imagine?
So they DO call, I got an email. I’m So thankful to have GS dates and thanks for sharing the new information.
This is the perfect time to start GS fitness regimes..I wonder if this affects Qantaslink applicants GS too?
Hi all, I'm an external applicant based in MEL, and did my AD around the start of May. I had a question surrounding the timing of the medical, I submitted my ASIC application and associated docs about 2 weeks ago (so not expecting any news for another 4-6 weeks). Does the medical request from Bodycare usually come through after the ASIC application is completed and approved? Thanks in advance

Ground school
Who else received an email in regards to ground school at the end of the year? When they say end of the year so you think November, December or earlier? Anyone heard otherwise? Also, weird that the form needs to be filled out by a specified date/time. Have a feeling that it might be earlier than end of year, just a thought 🙃

One of our recent instructors was with Jetconnect (AKL)and he told us it will be Jetconnect AKL crew doing these patterns. There will be direct New York flights out of sydney in 2025 (project sunrise) and this they are assuming will be Sydney based crew.

HI all,
I had my AD 19th May 2022, Golden call November 2022, GS started in Jan 2023, now been flying for 3 months, just want to say, as a person been through the whole recruitment process, waiting is the hardest part, and for the large scale recruitment, the recruiters are processing the applicants that they need to refuse rather than the ones they would like to hire (because up to this stage, there is less people to let go than retain, so easier for them to do it that way.) Therefore, if you have yet heard anything, then it means you are still in their system.
however, I would like to share some info from the workforce planning team just so that you know where they are up to:
"One QCCA initial course being run this bid period. Following this we’ll pause QCCA initial courses until BP3581 as we reduce the recruitment given temporary surpluses that are driven by lower take up of annual leave slots onshore. "
BP means "Bid Period", which is "Roster period, (28 days)".
We will start BP 3561 from Monday, then followed by BP3565, BP3571, BP3575, then BP3581(commence 9th Oct).
So whoever is in that one group in BP 3561, Welcome and Congratulations!, to those who havent heard anything yet, it will be another 16 weeks before they restart Ground school. So, there will be like 10-12 weeks silence before they start to ring people again.
Thats all I can share, Good luck everyone!
