GoNorth,

Was the person given a start date or do you mean that he/she has progressed to the next stage in the recruitment process? Can you give us anymore details re what aircraft and course date??

Cheers,

Alto

Got the 743 starting Jan 13/14. Not sure of numbers. Sounds like there was a delay/hassle with security checks so not many knew what aircraft/start date till short notice.

Sources suggest 8-12 starting on each course in Jan and Feb. Types to be classic and 744 (duh- as if the 767 would be taking any!). I haven't heard of anything beyond that!

Guys,

If you were on the Feb course, would you know by now or will it come soon. What about a March or April course. Any news appreciated.

Cheers

The website now states that Qantas has recently offered employment to people for Jan and Feb start dates. Does anyone out there know of people on the Feb course??

Waitng Sux

Waiting for a call from these guys is like trying to pass chewing gum (takes f@cking forever and all you end up with is an unrecognisable brown lump that resembles chocolate) good luck to all frustrating with the enivitable wait list

Waiting Sux - Agreed.

Given that they are about to start up psychometric testing and interviews again, is it reading too much into it that they are anticipating requiring more pilots than are currently on the "hold file"? I hope so!

You'd have to think so OBNO! But i think they always like to have plenty more on hold than they actually need, so they can skim the better ones off the top

Which is great news if you're not that competitive!

Waiting = + + + +

Doesn't work that way. You are either acceptable or not. There is no points system for those that got through the process like there used to be.

EPIRB,

If as you say there is no longer a points or "ranking" system in place, why would there be people (myself included), who were reference checked prior to the halt in recruiting last year, that are now being jumped by candidates who were interviewed after us, if not that their applications are more competitive than ours?

Cheers,
Alto

I was talking about those that are selected. Once you are considered suitable, they hold your name until a slot comes up. I believe what happened in years gone by was that you were considered acceptable and were allocated a certain amount of points. Then you could be pipped if someone else came along with a higher amount. You would be on hold for two years and if not offered a slot would have to reapply.
The fact that you were referenced checked is no doubt a good sign but does not necessarily mean you are to be offered a position. Keg maybe better able to answer your question.
