Di_Vosh,

are you privy to the type of applicants getting in to the traineeship recently?

as of about 6 months ago- I believe those with a fair bit of twin time, 1500+ TT were getting the calls for interviews-

has it been reduced much to the days of 08 ish when some of the lower hour guys were taken on or whats the go for the next 12 months ?

Not really. I've "heard a few things" but I'm not in recruiting and don't have any facts; just hearsay.

What I will say is that currently there are undercrewed aircraft in QLD. Qlink are getting seven more Q400's with the first one arriving next month. AFAIK, these are additional aircraft and are not replacing the 300's. DJ are recruiting this year (not sure about J*) which will mean resignations from Qlink.

Draw your own conclusions from that...

DIVOSH!

Does anyone know if they are still hiring as in first stage? I see the traineeship thing there and have applied through the direct entry link but it has no closing date to it. Was invited to sim interview last year and turned it down as I was working overseas and they wanted me in 1 week. Hoping that hasn't screwed my chances, although it would be nice if the psych test still counted from then.

Nope. It was a bond over 4 years, run concurrent with the Dash endo bond which was/is over 3 years.

Hey guys,

Can someone confirm that the psych test is still conducted by SHL and includes verbal reasoning (true, not true, can't say), numerical reasoning and behavioral reasoning?

Thanks!

Does anyone know what sort of benchmark in terms of experience people are being accepted for direct entry?

Also this new cadet scheme they have got going, have they started interviews for that?

With the recruitment going on at the moment in qink and the senate inquiry going on at the same time with quite a bit of focus on the jetstar cadetship, is qlink talking in any of those qf cadets left waiting for the industry placement ahead of more experienced guys and qlink's own trainees?

Cool Recent recruitment?

Hi All,
Long time reader......first time writer!!!

I was recently successful in the Qlink recruitment process (direct entry) and am currently on "active hold". Does anyone know how many are on active hold at present or how many more are expected to be added to the pot over the next few months?

I also heard that the latest intakes are all being sent to brisbane with the expansion of routes in Queensland. Is this the case for ALL new FO's or are the other bases still being fed. Maybe some of the latest recruits could give some insight??

Lastly I heard that there was a new intake that started on Monday with the next starting in 6 weeks. Anyone as yet been told they are on this next course??

90% of newbies lately have gone to BNE. There won't be too much expansion at the moment as BNE has no upgradable FO's

Going Nowhere

By that do you imply that I will be on hold for a good while longer??? or just probably not getting put to BNE? I heard there are still a few more Q400's to be delivered, so surely they must be crewing them from somewhere??

It all depends on where they place the Q400's. There's only 6 to go (at this stage) and 3 of those are marked to go West with Eastern crew (at this stage).

BNE at the moment has a fairly big supply of FO's so I wouldn't be surprised if they slow the recruiting down later this year.

Given the current situation with the engineers, any expansion in BNE would be a gamble. Alliance doesn't have too many spare F100's to take any more of our flying!

Course every 6 or so weeks, most if not all FOs going to Sunstate, however with the last lot of commands that just occurred in Eastern there could be a few FO positions in Sydney in the not to distant future. Most guys who got sent to Sunstate wanting to be in Eastern were able to transfer before they checked to line.

Does anyone know when the next course is expected to commence?

Or when the most recent course will/did finish?

My mate just started on the most recent course a week or 2 ago and also got a Sydney base so not all are headed north.

Just looking at the minimums for the Qlink traineeship and I think they have changed thier requirement for PIC time to "100hrs is desireable but not essential".

From memory last time I read this it said simply "100hrs PIC required" or something similar? Can't help but wonder if Qlink is at the bottom of the barrel?

rocket,

reflecting the recent change to the ATPL (A) requirements by CASA- I am trying to get confirmation from the company that the 100 is NO longer required..
