qfs recruiting policy changes and the market changes. 8 puits or TSOs are starting on 27th april, 4 on 744 and 4 on A330. The 2004 cadet scheme has started and is in full flight. the next few intkaes will be mainly direct entries as the cadets are now tied up in industry placement which is a good thing. for those applying aagain i believe the general rule is two or three attempts before qantas say to you that they 'dont really belivev you can pass the process'. although the more hours and experience etc is good, in that it will get your throught the first stage and offered a testing slot. but hours doesnt neccessarily mean you meet the qantas requirements. qantas believe that sometimes pilots with more hours experience also have bad habits and are harder to train.
the best bet is to keep trying dont give up and hopefully you'll get in

I've been told the success rate to get in is around one out of five. If you fail the personality part of the psyc test they don't ask you back. Some have been known to get in on their third psyc test. Don't agree about the comments about the hours as some of the ex Ansett pilot's had upwards of 14,000 hours.

Congrats FAF great news.

Does anyone have any insight to the approximate experience (hours) of those getting called for interviews right now?
Is anyone still getting calls for interviews?
Thanks
RJ

People are still getting calls for interviews, with varying hours (some low).

Success rate is also subjected to normal supply/demand rules... in practice Cadet success rate is almost 1 in 20.
