Hi guys, just want to get some clarifications on the DE F/O recruitment minimums for Qantaslink, on Qlink careers website, "Multi Engine Instrument Rating valid for at least 3 months upon commencement of employment." Does it mean 1. I have to have 3 months left on my Multi CIR when I start line flying with Qlink? or 2. I need to have held my Multi CIR for 3 months before I start line flying with Qlink?
I always thought it's answer 1, but I have been told that it's answer 2 and it's stated in the Qlink training manual.
Cheers

Gotony - neither.
It means that you need at least 3 months validity before you start at Qlink (eg: Ground school, sims etc) not line flying that will come a few months later
Hope this helps.

Not sure where that would leave you if for some reason you didn't get to the cyclic sim before expiry???
Most of us been working 80+ hr a month!

That's 80+hrs stick time Icarus! Things are a lot cruisier this month though. And when I joined the company, back when things were so hectic that there was no training capts available, my CIR had expired by a month by the time I finally did my entry cyclic (and yes, I did have 3 months validity on my CIR when I joined). It was no problem though, just meant I had to do a few extra things in the sim for the renewal. Things aren't that bad these days though.

Its a bit easier for the Sunstate guys to log big stick time, after all a lot of their sectors are over twice the Distance of Eastern.
For me to Log 80 Stick a month I would be doing 80+ sectors.

Courses filled for the year, 10 started this week, another small course (4 only I think) before the end of the year. Next course early next year, which with ongoing interviews, will be filled from ppl who have done, or are doing interviews end of this year.
Will likely ramp up again next year with the arrival of 7 new 400s.

Checking Refs
Hey, I attended QantasLink Cabin Crew Interviews on the 8th of this month. Last friday I received an emailing saying they will be checking my refs in the coming days.
Is it true about a ground school of only 4? or was that for something different?
