Merged: Qantaslink Traineeship/Cadetship/General Employment

[Mr. Hat]

It happens in Jet land to my friend alll the time. Don't worry one door shuts another opens.

[rmcdonal]

Yep Ground school in Dec. Good luck!

[j3pipercub]

I think you will find guys that alot on the December ground school have been on the active hold file for 12-18 months and quite a few have considerable twin turbine experience.

Hi All

Its good to see the system is starting to move, all be it very slowly, again. So does anyone know if it is likely that the commercial cadet program may make a come back after all the high time guys are sucked back up?? Best of luck to the guys that start ground school in Dec.

Hi all,

I did the SHL test online a few weeks ago. Does anyone know what the average time is before I might get a reply.

thanks

[eternity]

I'm kinda wondering the same thing......

[Fonz121]

I heard within a matter of days when I did it at the start of the year.

Traineeship

Hi All

The question I have. If unsucessful or 'not competitive' for the traineeship, for whatever reason, would this then hamper your chances of an application as a direct entry first officer, once you meet the minimum 'direct entry' experience?

From what I can gather these are two seperate streams or recruitment traineeship and direct enrty.

Look forward to the responses.

Cheers

[harrowing]

Probably not. It should show you have a continued interest in the company.
As with any recruitment and selection process, there will always be cases of seemingly good people missing out and vice versa.
As others have said, sometimes it appears that what they want is a little mystifying and not fully explained in the selection criteria.
Good luck and get some experience and keep trying.
The supply and demand situation can change rapidly.

For all those having trouble securing a spot in the testing, there will be plenty of spots feb/march next year.

I did the SHL test online a few weeks ago. Does anyone know what the average time is before I might get a reply.

Took over around 6 weeks for them to tell me I had progressed to Stage 3. But no date set for Sim/Interview as yet. Not sure how long I will be waiting at this stage either.

Anyone know much more about how many positions they are looking to fill and by what dates?

[skysook]

8 positions already filled in December, another 25 to be filled in January.

[AllInGoodTime]

Could someone please tell me what the salaries are like for a F/O and Capt for Qantaslink.

Thank you

[maverick22]

For sunstate employees, first year f/o $54821, capt $84261 on the classic series. Q400 drivers $58603 and $90158 for f/o and capt respectively.

[DeltaT]

How do some of you know the courses and number of positions available when the hiring people at Qantaslink don't know yet?

[Global Xpress]

3 Capt recently resigned, moving to VB. Expect a few more in the coming year, also to Pornstar.

[Dragun]

There wasn't any brick wall until Julia Gillard put one up on the 1st of July until it was removed again on the 3rd December by a combined effort from the AFAP and Qantas. The road is clear again for internal transfers *cough*, I mean total resignation, loss of benefits and re-employment

[harrowing]

Dragun,
Perhaps a little bit of the company spirit might be good for that cough, or to ease the pain.
Cheers

Why do people give Qlink so much crap about 'mainline progression'. Don't you people want to fly turboprops, not just airliners your whole life..
