Qantas recruiting direct entry 737 FO's?
 

Searching pilot job sites today and found this;

Qantas Airways
Contact Details: Flight Recruitment, Qantas Pilot Recruitment Flight Operations QCC/3 203 Coward Street Mascot, NSW 2020 Australia. Please quote reference: PilotCrewJobs.com

So what are Qantas up to, are they planning a no frills airlines with the 737?

This is an American website. If this is legitimate, why isn't Qantas advertising the positions from their own website? A bit strange?

Yep, here it is.

Very bizarre considering the allocations from just a couple of days ago show heaps of new 737 F/Os- 81 to be precise- over the next twelve months.

Perhaps they think they will be short until they can get them all trained up and are after some contract crews for the next six to 12 months! :confused:

Interesting times.

That's got to be a wind-up. Surely QF already has the CV of every unemployed Australian pilot with over 3000 turbine hours!

Odd, but promising. Does Qantas have an email address for recrutiment? Checked but nothing coming up.

It is a wind-up . Hung Like there is no email address that I know of for pilot recruitment, however there is a phone number on the web for general information, 02 9691 3200.

Further to Sopwith's post. AIPA advise that QF has advised them that they have placed no such add and that it is fake.

Sorry to disapoint those who were hopeful of the real deal. :(
