QANTAS to recruit again soon???
Had beers with a mate the other night who is/was a LOI holder back in 2009 and he has been contacted by the recruitment department (apparently a new formed group) and asked to submit a current resume. Any thoughts?? New contract instead of EBA maybe?? Thought it was interesting considering the obvious downsizing in the pipeline over the coming yrs for mainline..

Qantas has Lost The Gloss
With all the stuff thats going on with Qantas why would you want to work there?
There are plenty of other outfits who actually embrace their employees not treat them with contempt.
How many CPLs were Issued in Australia last year?
When the world economy finally settles down and travel has regained its rhythm and growth there will a real requirement for pilots with many predicting a shortfall.
All this argy bargy with Qantas is about locking in T and C s early before supply and demand pushes pilot wages up

Email was sent on the 27th of January which was a carbon copy of the email sent to cadets a few weeks earlier. I can confirm it because it's sitting in my inbox.
Could be viewed as very suspect, however it's more than likely just a new manager doing some house keeping in her new role. Nothing to get excited or confused about I would suggest.

I assume you are talking outside of Aus?

This is why Q conditions WILL ultimately end up like jetstar.....
Pilots are the their own worst enemies. (as we all know)
Despite everything going down at Q right now. Despite the uncertainty, people are lining up to join no matter what the prospects or lack of career prospects. The management know this and thats why the upper hand is theirs. As previously said. You could offer someone to fly the A380 for $100K command and pilots will fight over it. And they probably will....( This is why a Mainline Pilot is no longer worth the money they get..... someone else can/will do it cheaper).

This is QF Managements way of saying to the pilot group , look we have plenty of people lining up to jump over your grave so go ahead and jump in.
Sad part is that most people who desire a job flying for QF will sign up to any old T & C's to get a start, you watch in 10 years time they'll all be posting on here whinging about how they're being shafted !

Ok, lets say Qantas terms and conditions deteriorate to equal or similar to Jetstar, why on earth would anyone join Qantas for the "pleasure" of possibly 7-10 years to FO, and 14-20 years to Command. When in JQ you join as an FO, and can gain a Command in a fraction of the time.
In fact regardless, I'm not sure too many would recommend Qantas at all right now

When you join JQ as an FO you also get to work 100 stick hours every month until yearly max then clip it every month until you leave. What sort of life is that? Still haven't met a JQ who actually has good things to say about the job. The only airline left in this country worth joining is VB.
Jimothy, at the moment Q still pay for your endorsement. Once Jetstar stop expanding there are a lot of young captains so FO will then have to wait a very long time for a command. Where ever you work it is swings and round-a-bouts.
