Merged: QF Recruitment

[LuckyQ]

G'day,

I was wondering If anyone has been given a start date for direct entry S/O for next year?

Maybe you know of someone starting in Jan.?

Would appreciate any info. on any scheduled courses for next year?

Thank you.

12-16 a month for the next 12 months.

Course Dates

I have a start date of the 11th of Feb. Anyone else on here got a Feb start date??

[abozic]

I have a start date 14th January. Courses begin every 4 weeks. I don't know anyone else on my course.

Whats the ratio of 744 to 330?

[Keg]

12:4 every four weeks is the general rule. It's not always that way. I suspect some months there won't be A330 S/Os.

[abozic]

does anyone know of anyone who has been given a january 11 start date? Just trying to work out if the Friday start-A330 , Monday start-744 rule will apply going into 2008?

Hi!
I'm just wondering how long people have been waiting for a start date since their letter of intent to employ... Also how long between reference checks and start dates... Also if anyone knows the dates of the febuary / march start dates... Thanks

I just got the call up for an 8th Feb start. Referees were called on Friday and received the call on the Monday.

They won't specify which type, can anyone verify the Airbus course starting on the Friday??

[mango777]

The general impression is that fridays are airbus and mondays are boeing but hey it is qantas and anything could probably happen... congrats, when did you get your letter of intent?

[On Guard]

So if you get on the A330, how long before you can bid/get on the 744, works better for me as have to commute.

As soon as you have the seniority to get a window on 744 or they get rid of the 330 before then and have to slide you over to somewhere else.

Unless you come from a Qantas regional you will not have staff travel for the first 6 months, Plenty of commuters on the the Bus.

Hope this helps.

Fancy having to move to earn all that money! The indignity of it all.
Such an inconvenience!
GA was never this bad.

Cheers Mango, never actually received a letter of intent, more of a hold file letter. A phone call out of the blue requesting updated medicals and referees was my only indication my application was moving ahead.

3100 TT on Cessna single and twin, Chieftains and Beech 1900s.

Am I the only one not particularly bothered by what they fly- they all look big and shiney to me??

On guard, with things the way they are, you'd be looking at an FO prom before a different CP rating.

Intake numbers

Keg

Number I was told was 300/year for the next 3 years - that's 25/month. Allegedly this came straight from the CP's mouth.

Is your 12-16 just for 744, or just for A330?

[On Guard]

Thanks, would live in SYD for first 6-12 mths then commute.

So confirming if you get A330 you will be there a few years.

From what I gather A330 roster difficult to commute.

[Mstr Caution]

Bendo

160 Average per year for 5 years, all types

180 per year is about the max capacity at present
