Come on Keg, didn't you read the circulated memo from the most reliable source of all?!

As humorous as labia's suggestion is, there's no way Cadet numbers can satisfy the apparent recruiting thirst... Looks like an International 330 and a bunch of promos coming up is starting to have an effect!

They've recruited 22 so far this year (12 jan & 10 feb) & I've heard of someone getting a Mar 23 start date (no mention of Mel/Syd) & another on Mar 24 - Mel base. So there will probably be more than one type for Mar cse.

Lancer,
That may explain why the bloke I spoke to was so sure then. I haven't checked my mailbox for about the the last week and a bit so haven't seen any memo! I assume it was from either Chris or GD then?!?!

Thanks, THAT particular source now isn't considered as reliable as he used to be!

Does anyone have any info on further stage 2 testing? Could a “non-cadet” expect to be called for stage 2?
Cheers,
RJ

There isn't any cadet testing going on at the moment...

But there seems to be a bit of testing going on!

Just did a search on cadetship, I guess it might be a bit of a contentious issue – sorry about that – I wasn’t trying to stir anything up. Just wanted to know if “anyone” is getting called for stage 2?

Does anyone have any news on the effect, if any, of the bombings in Spain on recruitment plans? Obviously it's not a positive thing, but anything more specific? Any word on if there will be an April course? What i would do for a crystal ball.....

Does anybody know how long the wait usually is to be called up for the next interview
I know they say you'll hear from us within 3 weeks but do the lean to either side if the 3 weeks if the previous stage is good/bad?

Altocu, I don't think anyone knows how Spain is going to affect anything! I think Qantas would enjoy using your crystal ball too...

Hi all

Have heard that there will be 145 direct entry by December. Know of 2 that start on March 23rd and another 3 called for sim and interview, and a further 2 called for psych and skills and this is from just one company.

Recruiting will be continuing well into April at this stage with the magic number being 1500hrs (this is just a guess as all of the above have at least this)

Not sure about the total number accuracy but it appears that it will certainly be a big year for direct entry.

Regards

Ratter

ratter,
i know which company you are talking about. do you think that their affiliation with qf is the reason they're all getting the call at the same time, or just by chance? either way a great company to work for!

Hi all

Getting a little curious now as to where the top of the pile is at.

Have not heard of anyone in the Top End with mostly single time, (apart from Multi CIR hours) getting any call-ups for testing.

<1500hrs + <100hrs multi is about the lowest experience someone has had with a call recently.

Any variation to this, up here or elsewhere?

I normally wouldn't try to predict what Q recruiting is doing but it's fun and GA is starting to sh*t me.

This could be the year for everyone!

I got a letter a few days back saying that my file is predicted to progress after october. I have about 1400hrs (60 or so multi) bush and instructing experience.
Lets hope testing and recruitment continues as planned. Has anyone else had similar letters lately and is the prediction for progression usually acurate.

Fingers crossed for all

Rootcheck,

I think Ratter is refering to General Flying Services at Moorabbin. They train QF Cadets. Congrats to Adam and Joe.

Hope to see you both soon.

Gods Kitchen.
