Thanks for sharing valuable info..
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 procedding 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!

yes, 20kj, it’s damn heavy unless you work out regularly right!

yes, you have to lift the bar, from shoulder to above head, it’s actually not that difficult because it’s a straight bar, lifting a body above your head would be rather difficult!
I wobbled a bit.. but my assessor was really nice, he helped me put the bar onto the support thingy and said yep, you did it!

Passport photo only, not corporate portraits
i made the mistake of thinking this also, as UAE airlines ask for a full body shot in their application, but Qantas don’t. they need a proper passport photo(for your ASIC ID card) so wear a blazer, yr peal earrings and light makeup so u look professional.
This is the advise given to me by my QCC recruiter in 2023. Cheers

I received and email that they will be reviewing all reach tests that were completed at the assessment day. Does anyone know anything about this?
mom 164cm and the min requirement was 163cm. I made the reach test on my tip toes. Hoping it’s not increase to be any higher because I don’t have much more reach in me.

Same reply, different result
isn’t it funny how that same letter of application/resume was accepted by Qantaslink (I was given an AD) but was rejected by domestic?
I’m sure when flights increase they will start training crew for the new jets, I forget what ones.. A380’s?

Same thing happened to me in 2022, I seem to be unable to get to an assessment day despite having flown for almost a decade. I’m at the point now where I’ve given up sadly. Shame there’s no other airlines in Aus that offer the opportunity for longhaul
