Network Aviation A320

I see they are advertising for F100 / 320 Captains on the Qantas website. Would be interesting to know at what start dates they are looking at for the 320 position.

Line training for the 320 is done by JQ, which is a huge load of the network training department.

That really is terrific but has no bearing on my post. It does not matter who the supplier is, if you create two training slots it costs more.

I'm not disagreeing, rather supporting your argument that it's even easier for them to hire directly to the 320.

Hi Bully thanks for the post,

Are you suggesting that NAA should be commended for not hiring direct onto the A320? You have pilots with significant time on type, why wouldn’t you promote these people?? I agree it’s been pleasantly surprising that some people have been promoted onto the type. Assuming the company’s growth is planned and measured then this should continue.

With regards to the accomodation I can only go off what I’ve heard but the provided accomodation is suitable for short stays, not months and months of living. Network usually provides accomodation at the Quest for endorsements (suitable for long stays), why then are staff being put up at Mantra?
I won’t comment on the Jakarta hotel, I’ll leave that to people who experienced the happy ending...

Icarus, I understand the cost involved in internal promotion. This is a cost most companies wear as a matter of doing business, Qantas is posting billions in profit so I really don’t see how this is of particular concern. It really comes down to the company choice in this case, as they are not bound by EBA requirements, and as a result they can be judged by their actions.

Then why did almost 50% of Current crew apply for mainline?

True with the first bit but the second half? Absolutely false.

Why do the Mods keep shunting Network threads into the GA section?
Last I looked, they were one of the Regional Airlines of Australia, not GA.
