Huge Jarse is right there is no formal progression and looks like this was a just carrot dangled in front to sweeten the deal. The issue is that QFLink management dont have the authority to do this as yet or ever (pending EBA negs). The truth is that management want to keep us all separate so they can keep us down.
But to all those out there its still a good job, they pay for the endo (via bond), they pay you training wage the entire time , accommodation included, people you work with are great and you dont have to clean up spew in the back of the plane so it get the thumbs up

Cadetship is how I got in!
Although, looking back, I feel a slight twinge of regret not being able to do some general aviation. The stories and pictures some of you post are simply astounding.
Keep up the good work

There are more D/E stage 3 interviews and sims throughout November. Has recruitment been ongoing or is this the first D/E batch for a little while?
DIVOSH!

After passing Stage 2, how long are guys waiting now before stage 3?
Is there flexibility if you are unable to attend the sim ride/interview dates given to you?
Then how long until a start date?

Hey Lando,
Got the knock back a couple of months ago, not sure if it's changed much but I applied in early March and didn't get an interview till Sept. Did the Stage 2 in June. Good Luck with it all.
Don't spare the horses

Did stage two maybe four weeks ago and have stage three in early Nov. I guess I had about seven weeks notice of stage three. Some flexibility in the dates - you get to choose from about four days they nominate. If none of those are suitable, I'm not sure if you could ask for others?
Not sure whether to hold my breath or not as to the result........don't know of anyone who has started recently.

With most of the FO's up the top of the sustaining fleet seniority list only getting 20-30 hours flying per roster, I'd say for the time being a gap has been filled.
For the time being...

Why are everyone suddenly flying so little?

I've got the "1st quarter of 2009" business for the interview and sim. Not holding my breath though. Just hoping to get enough multi hours elsewhere so I can apply to other places sooner rather than later!!
I know there's a ground course running in Melb, but is there endorsement training going on in Sydney at the moment too?

Given that Qantaslink now appears to have a surplus of FOs. Do you think it’s fair to assume that they will not be starting the Traineeship up again next year? I can’t honestly see any reason why they would continue with it. However, I doubt that Qantaslink would actually confirm such a situation. Rather, I consider it likely they’ll just keep those of us with conditional offers ticking along in case they have a need for us in the next few years. Sound likely, or am I being a little pessimistic?
