Qantas S/O to F/O in 18 months

[Beer Baron]

Latest slots out indicate that S/O's who have started earlier this year/late last year will have F/O promotions by June next year. Not bad I say!!

[Sonny Hammond]

Excellent propaganda tool!
Now go and read the 'other' latest news flash from QF about reducing services due to high fuel prices.

You have the promotion when you're in the seat, checked out.

[Muff Hunter]

Beer baron, wake up......wake up.....you must be dreaming.

Last I looked/heard it was running at 3-5 years...

[OZBorn]

Maybe Beer Baron is talking about crossing over to J* to help stop the invading 457 visa applicants!

[Skypatrol]

Not bad at all Beer Baron.

It happened before during the previous big promotional wave and hopefully will happen again. It largely depends though on timing and when you join the company in the midst of a promotional 'surge' or in between them.......

[Tempo]

Good on these guys who have obtained quick promotions. Yes it is all timing but you still have to be prepared to move for the promotion (all these super junior slots are PER based 737 F/O). Well done.

[VH-JJW]

I wonder if these promotions will stand given this afternoons announcement of 7 aircraft retirements in addition to 747-400 reduced utilisation?

One would hope that the left and right hand were talking prior to the announcement of slots so as to not dissapoint those who only this morning were thinking with $$ and stripes in their eyes.................

[allthecoolnamesarego]

Turn up to work, tired and hungry.

Watch a movie or two, eat too much. On arrival in port, drink to you fall over (so you can turn up tired and hungry)

Don't be Ridiculous! -

[Mr.Buzzy]

Or you can go fly somewhere else and avoid being a stage-coach driver entirely!

God bless the cadets, what a dream run!!! ...those hard yards in Darwin flying the Brasilia have really paid off!!!

[Mr. Hat]

once upon a time on a dark scary night i saw this great big storm sitting in my tiny brasillia seat....

[Keg]

JJW, with 27 captains scheduled to leave the Classic within two-three bid periods- I think- I suspect they may have been. Also, I thought the 767 promotion may have gone a bit bigger than it did.

Part of me also wonders if they timed the media release for this day due to the fact that all QF drivers would have seen today the massive transfer of crew off the 747 and put two and two together.

Of course, it wouldn't surprise me at all if there was zero consultation with the hard working allocations crew and that this will all need to be re-jigged!

Congrats to those who got slots.

Why was there a storm in your Braz?

worng wrong wrong, don't know where you are looking but people who joined this year are set for training this time next year.

God bless the cadets, what a dream run!!! ...those hard yards in Darwin flying the Brasilia have really paid off!!!

The S/O's in question are not LOA161 cadets, we are talking direct entry pilots who joined this year have been awarded a slot in PER starting this time next year.

Correct the little darlings with the seniority rouse got wide body slots on the east coast instead

[position & hold]

Some of the new(ish) intake cadets have been allocated FO slots, so have some of the direct entry people. Those SO's who missed out on slots because of LOA161 may have a win later this year if AIPA succeeds against the company in court.

Ok MUNT Now I sound like a broken record

[Poto]

Well MUNT nothing I have stated has been

so immature about the issue.

Most are all quite 'little', they are all darlings- at least to me. And most agree (the ones I know anyway) that the whole LOA thing is a rouse!

No need to get your back up little fella, Its all about facts champ

[BUSDRIVER200]

The 'facts' are though poto that most of the LOA cadets didn't get a slot this time round.....and if they did its in the last bid period, they weren't senior enough for sydney. I am not trying to turn this into a discussion about LOA161 because I am bored of it. Most are able to handle it in a mature manner, cadets and people affected by it.....shame about you.
