Excellent news...Qantas partners with flydubai. No surprise really considering the EK/QF tie up.

Has there been an increase in days off with the implementation of PBS? How about consecutive days off?

You're quite vague, do you mean African or European swallow?

Lmao!

Don't know the number from the top of my head. It is actually discussed in this thread, you must've missed it. It is actually complemented with a link to a YouTube video here somewhere too.

Not relevant really.

In this forum several people linked to *European...

I really don't get what this question has to do with any kind of interview....
I googled the answer...it mentioned some speeds with a difference between the different types... but nevertheless..... any proper answer with an explanation would be highly appreciated...

Wow....not been back here in a few months...if i'd have known the confusion the "unladed swallow" question would have created I would have left it out.

Go watch some Monty Python people!

In other news...I start class this month.

Non-rated assessment dates

Hi guys!
I passed the screening a few days ago, the next stage for me is to choose a date for an interview when a non-rated assessment event is available.
However, the only dates available right now are for rated guys, as the non-rated courses are full until next spring,according to their email.
Just wondering if anyone knows how often non-rated assessments are made available each month/year?
I guess we must be quite a few to be waiting for an available slot to interview...
Thanks for any info you could share!

No exaggeration:

I set up an hourly alarm and checked the website for slots when the buzzer went off.

It took about a week but one came up - and I got myself booked, it was filled within the next hour and removed from the open selections.

So...get watching, and best of luck.
