Are there any of you guys/girls that just got a start date with QF who are prepared to let us know your age. Just wondering if there is many of you over 30 years of age. As you can guess I am over 30 and just wondering if any folk my age are getting in or not.

The latest that I have heard is that they are assessing everyone on their merit and the last few courses have been a mix of Ex-AN, GA, Military, & cadets.

I started rescently and the courses before me were cadets, I was told when a cadet course graduates they get preference over direct entry. My course had 8 Ansett, 1 Impulse and 1 G.A.
Of the Ansett guys, 2 were ex Ansett Cadets. The Aug 1 course is 767 I am told. It is very compedative with all the Ansett guys out there. I was told by someone in recruiting that of the 850 Ansett pilots, 650 applied to Qantas, and they still hire from G.A.
B.T.W the youngest on course is 24 from G.A. the oldest is 41 from Ansett.

Far out LIP-EZE...
You must have been having a bloody good day when you somehow managed your way through the English section of the Qantas testing.
Sure, you don't need to be able to spell to be a pilot, but f*ck me, your efforts are pathetic.

With regard to the response to my last post, I am sorry that I upset Transition Layer with my poor spelling. I don't normally post but I remember how I wished people would post more about QF and there interviews and hiring intakes when I was going through the application stages.
The only comment I will make is that all the people I have come across at QF are very nice and helpfull in every respect. People who wish to abuse others and take pleasure in pointing out their defects are not welcome as far as I can tell.
Anyone who wishes to know any more about QF application process is welcome to e-mail me and I will answer the best I can or at least find out from others in the company. Recruiting are pretty open about all the application information and hiring details.
B.T.W. I also heard that some of the next course will be classic drivers.

RE classic course: no exact dates though middle of AUG was mentioned with 4 starting GND course.
Don't be worried if you go on the old girl as she can teach you a few tricks before she goes to the desert. The experience will help with FO training and beyond. Well thats what the Captains say anyhow.
