You're right about that one,Jack....sort of. They've contracted Qantas to carry out the recruitment. Only bum side is that these guys are pulling the Emirates and Gulfair trick and making you pay for your way to Sydney and all the tests......Must be a new industry standard.

........and if no one flew to Sydney at their own expense, Qantas would have to buy the tickets. 
I am not buying a ticket..........if they want me, they come up here or fly me down......'tis one or the other.

They're not exactly endearing themselves to prospective employees.
Advertise for pilots. Tell 'em sweet FA about the job and conditions and who they would be working for. Tease a few by suggesting that they might have an interview, when in reality they have only been shortlisted to be selected for an interview to be conducted in early may. Offer no further contact even though the time slated for interviews is now past tense.
All this and have to pay for the job aswell.
If this is the way they treat you prior to interview, good luck in the job.
What the fark is this world coming to????
Has anyone tried to contact them by any chance?

Sal-e's gone MIA Cactus.
Don't expect much from this mob. Especially if Q ANTAS are pulling the strings.
If they have their way, an f/o here will be paid less than their counter parts in the regionals.
A pay drop like that is a big sacrifice to make just to fly a 20+ year old jet on night freight.

No still here......ended up turning down the interview. Imagine this....you pay for your way to Sydney, pay for the psych test and the rest of it........get told at the very end of it all that you failed!!!!!! Aha, enough to make you wanna hit someone right?
Anyway, got a better job now. I haven't heard many who have done the interview though. I think they will come to realise that not many ('cept real wannabees) would respond and end up sweetening the deal. That's what normally happens. Good luck to those trying for it. If I were you, I'd wait for a better incentive than the current, it's bound to happen because there's not too many 73 drivers in oz without a job.

Revenue Raising!!!
Im beginning to think QCC 3 (QANTAS building C) in SY, is the biggest money maker in the QF muckheap.
Think about it - X amount of pilots in Oz and some captured from overseas, go thru the mainline crap, however may times they get sucked in - get the come back letter once maybe twice even thrice i have heard. Multiply all ths costs invloved - Psych, Skills, Medical / Airfares, which they say the are discounted for candidates, which co-incidentally are divided - so there is 2 trips. Now, let them tell you - you may be more suited to - X,Y,Z. Thankyou come again. And stupidly some do - Q'Link, Jetstar and now this freight deal, where they are making you do the same ****e again + GST
Me thinks the SALES people at QCC 3 are doing well to suck us for our dough, 4 times over.
