Qantas April Courses 2005

Anybody heard or been given a start date in April yet?
I assume similar sized courses are being planned for April/May.
Any news would be much appreciated and good luck to those still waiting.

Had sim/interview/medical just last week and was told in the interview that courses up to June are filled up already, and that April/May will have around 20 people on each.

Best of luck for everyone!

Finally got there!

Hi all,

Got the call today. Start on 4th of April.

I can't tell you how often I checked this message board waiting to see if anyone had heard anything. To those of you who are still waiting, I know how it feels, and I wish you all the best of luck, just keep in mind, they havent said no; remember, no news is good news.

For info: SYD base, AC type TBA.
Psych in Aug04, interview and sim (and med) in Sept04, update and med update Jan05, OPG and background checks in early Feb05.

Got two calls today, first one asking how much notice I would need to give my current job. Second call 10 minutes later saying I had the job.

Absolutely stoked. Thanks to all who provided info and posted their experiences etc. See you all there.

My personal quess would be that this month mirrors last month. 4 on monday A330 and 12(or so) on tuesday B744. I could be wrong though. Apparently they want to get alot of 744 training out of the way before they shut a sim in september.

Congrats to all those starting your going to love it!!

Question Reference checks?

Anyone had reference checks done yet for the next intakes (ie after the 4th/5th of April courses)?

For those who have start dates (if you're still reading) - how soon before the job offer did the reference checks occur?

Thanks

Kyma Why don't you ring Qantas and ask them what the conditions and time frame of the proposed Singapore Basings will be! A reasonable question I am sure!
