...email also said the expected start date not before August. Wish they would hurry up and hand out offers, the HR dept must be overloaded. Anyone know why so long....offers last year went out a lot quicker, maybe the jungle jet? I was told 50/50 as to type which doesn't help

I applied 2005, but it probably bears little relevance now given the heady highs of recruitment

Heard today that next major interviewing will not be until June / July this year... Also heard that 73 recruitment will continue steadily but the numbers will slow significantly as the e jet ramps up recruitment to meet its crewing needs - that is assuming of course that they get people to fly it on the current package... I know a few that are planning to interview to see if they are to be offered the 73 and if not will persue qf/cx or jq...

Has anyone got an offer yet?

Close to 8 weeks since interview and no start date, base etc....
Is it common to wait this long?

I have a mate who got confirmation he was accepted back in Late August / September & he's over in Melbourne doing the 737 endorsement right now.

Tipan,
I probably got the same e-mail as you did. All they really said was not to expect the official letter of offer before the end of Feb and class date would be after August.

As for some tips on the interview…. be yourself and be relaxed. Know your climb gradients from the CAO’s, ETOPS and high speed aerodynamics including winglets. Make sure you are proficient with NDB intercepts into a hold.
