What's the latest with recruitment??
Has anyone had the magic call from Recruitment in the last two months?
If so are there any courses running in August or September?
Does anyone know what the typical time line is between LOI to Ref chex to start date??
I've been told when you do get the call they ask you what your type preference is! The A380 is apparently the aircraft of choice.
Cheers for any replies

just a drift...
guys quick question is the psych testing (numerical, spatial, verbal etc.) negatively marked or did you find the best thing was to guess the questions that didnt get answered?

SHL ability testing
Desmotronic,
Sorry mate I don't know who your source is, but I am going to contradict you.
My dear sweet baby sister is a Psych specialising in recruitment for a major international recruitment firm, PDI Coyne.
When you do the tests you will notice that each one has a code name, eg: the OPQ (Occupational Preferences Questionnaire) or the SPQ 14 or whatever. Last time I went through these tests (yes under the current sustem) I took some notice of these codes and discussed them with her later.
These are all standard products from SHL and in my sister's experience none of them are negatively marked - and further, it is her opinion that it would be unethical for them to be negatively marked without notifying the candidate of that fact before the test.
She also noted that it is obvious when you answer the last 30 questions in 15 seconds that you are guessing
Equatorial, a friend of mine went through the same sim sessions as Firecracker (a Thursday night, Building evacuated?) in late May. Firecracker has been given "the letter" (the good one) and my mate tells me he received some positive indications from QCC3 today.
So it sounds like there is some movement there. Good luck!

Latest word from management meeting is that recruitment will continue as forecast this year and into next year, but at a slightly slower rate than originally planned (about 30% less as I understood it) Good luck!

Someone will probably know the answer to this. That 'Cadet Programme' that QF run and advertises, do they take any RAW graduates, ie. NO flying experience at all, what's the deal? Do they finance it from go to whoa or what? Not for me, too late for that , but a young person I know was asking. Thanks for any info, I looked at the site but it wasn't really too clear on that aspect. Thanks.

SHL ability testing - a correction
OK I shot my mouth off (again)
Little sister informs me that all they (PDI) get from SHL is # of q's attempted and #q's correct.
SO if you attempt 270 of 300 mathematical questions and get 260 correct there isn't much to be gained in guessing the last 30 in a mad orgasm of mouse-clicking.
Best of luck Chaps and Chapettes

The letter of intent is separate to, and usually after the stage 4 notification. It'll come after you do your medical/sim/interview and is titled "letter of intent". It notifies you that you have made it through the medical/sim/interview and of an expected start date, pending reference checks, security checks and whatever else still needs to be done.
