Merged: Qantaslink Traineeship/Cadetship/General Employment

[Aviator500]

Has anyone with CPL <200 hrs/No MECIR/Only a couple of ATPL's done had a response from QL. Was told about 6 weeks ago that they would be starting to review the low hr/qualified pilot applications by Mid May?

[Fifthleg]

Anybody from the interviews on the 12th heard anythng yet?

[Braviator]

Aviator500, I'm in the same boat as yourself, still no word (to be expected). Where did you hear about the review of low hour applications?

B

[Stormynights]

anyone heard anything at all about the applicants that have been through in the past couple of weeks ?
does have anything to do with the lame strike perhaps?

[training wheels]

Has anyone from the May 14 psych test deadline been contacted for the SIM and interview yet?

[alexthepilot]

not yet still waiting...they said 1-2 weeks so guess that from today ownwards

[THE IRON MAIDEN]

No, I assume they meant 7 to 14 Business days too

So i guess maybe by the end of May.

[Hasselhof]

So whats the numbers break down? Does anyone know how many Traineeships have been offered so far? How about how many people they plan to put through the system this year?

From what I Heard from friends who are in.

the third group of trainees is starting in June. The first and second group have already gone through is back in Sydney for more training.

12-14 trainee per group. one group per month. Not sure how many months they are doing. So, there could easily do 144 applicants a year.

[Going Nowhere]

3rd group started in Melbourne 2 weeks ago and the 1st and 2nd groups are in Sydney.

[UnderneathTheRadar]

Not sure how many months they are doing. So, there could easily do 144 applicants a year.

They could - in theory - but remember that the first few groups are made up of those who 'amost' met the DEFO requirements. Subsequent trainees are short of things like ATPLS (and in the future - MECIRs). These all take time to get so I suspect you'll see a hiatius in trainee groups following the intial batches.

The people I went through selection all had MECIR but none had ATPLs (some where part way there) so QL have to wait before we're available to start the GFS course.

UTR

[garman]

so does that mean they dont want you to start the course until you've finished all your ATPL's?

Hey guys,

I just got the call today from Qantaslink for an Interview in June but I pushed it back to the 1st of July due to personal commitments and time to renewal my instrument rating.

Anyone else got the call?

[Wicked shimmy]

To those guys who have recently been called up for an interview, do you have a MECIR and all the ATPL subjects? Just trying to get an idea of where Qantaslink are at in terms of experience.

[dlx_xlb]

hey. I have 230 hours. No MECIR. One ATPL. i really dont know wat their looking for. Real hard to say.

[Aussie Indon]

Wicked Shimmy

I've got an expired MECIR (Intending on completing an IRT before the interview), 1 ATPL subject completed, 215TT, Degree and not currently employed as a pilot.

Hope that helps
