Could anyone please enlighten me on the odds of getting into the program with the bare minimums, be it the foundation or advanced course?

It will really come down to how well you interview and perform in the sim. A whole range of people with different experience levels are applying for the cadet program. If they like what they see then your in, if not then well, you can reapply in six to twelve months.

Once you have completed the stage 2 assessment any idea how long it usually takes to hear if you made it stage 3?

I heard in less than half a day after doing stage 2 last month, but I'm not sure that's typical.

I heard back on the same day, I did the testing fairly early so they probably had a good chance to go through the results

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has heard of candidates for either traineeship being placed on active hold, and what exactly this means this day ok age with QL?

Cheers

Hi

I just received this email

"Thank you for your participation in the QantasLink pilot recruitment process.

I am pleased to advise that you have successfully completed Stage 2 of our Recruitment process.

The next round of interviews for the September 2013 Trainee Level 1 Program is currently being planned for mid to late August 2013.

Your application and SHL results will be kept on record for consideration for future scheduled interviews.

If you do not wish to be considered for future courses please withdraw your application from our website."

So does that mean I will be getting an interview or am I just in the pool?

If I dont make it to stage 3 will I receive an email informing me so?

Thanks

Sounds to me like you've made it through to stage 3 and they will be contacting you later for an interview date. Good luck!

QLink remove Sept and Dec 2013 Courses

G'day,

Been brought to my attention today that QLink have changed the info on the website to now say that the Sept and Dec courses 2013 have been changed to "TBA".

Has anyone heard of a slowdown in recruitment or has info on the situation, much appreciated?!

Thanks slam_click.

I had heard that they were starring away from foundation level people right now, but that level two and DE were still high on the priority list as there is still a shortage of pilots around the place, especially QLD.

Just a bit confusing as I know of three people who were interview just last week...

The only shortage in QLD is of pilots who are checked to line.

At last count, there's over 30 F/O's waiting for groundshool/sim/line training.

And that's just in BNE, and for the Q400!

Don't be too impatient when you get here, full pay and staff travel will kick in pretty quick!

So perhaps that's why they have changed the website information...

Hope that doesn't mean they will stop recruiting anytime soon!!!

Heard a rumour that one or two small regionals as well as a charter operator are in the final stages of being bought into the Qlink fold as it were and that pilot recruitment has been put on hold as a result.
The thought is that why hire and pay when you can outsource?
Fun business this!!

the slowdown would be due to the lack of simulator/training resources.. they need pilots in sydney and brisbane bases due to the amount we are all working, but they are losing pilots as quick as they can train them.

everyone at the moment is a cadet, more in love with the uniform from what i can tell

That is not what I was hoping to hear.

I have also forked out the money and was waiting for an interview in August, looks like that will be a complete waist of money.

Would be nice if they emailed to at least let us know, its a big ask I know for the aviation industry but the rest of the world manages to treat people a bit better.

Ahhhhh a tad frustrated
