Qantas recruitment
Can anyone help me with the Qantas rumours? Is it true they are recruiting in October? I am on the short list and was wondering if anyone knew anything?
October Ahh!
Lets hope the wheel is turning faster than previously rumoured.
Not familar with this short list, is this the "Hold File" or "active consideration" or What? I am aware they do some final checks before they offer slots. Are we referring to people who have already completed security clearences/ dental x-rays etc.
Good luck to all hoping for a slot!

Qantas recruitment part 2
Hi all,just heard another one regarding flight attendant recruitment for QF.Apparently they are recruiting and its for long haul and it will be sometime soon..The short list means people who have had interviews,police checks,ref checks and medical. There are 5 stages!And also Australian and Virgin are interviewing and QF have opened their expressions of interest,all very interesting.Good luck to those waiting!!!

Toowoombagirl,
Would love to know your source! The staff at recruitment indicated to me that they didn't know when recruitment would start up but the earliest could be Jan next year. That info was passed to me a couple of weeks ago (so it is old news).
I also heard that they needed more 744 SOs but the positions would be staffed internally within the company (something like 30 or so being re-roled to 744 from 767 & 743). If this was true then those courses would tie up up to 3 conversion courses, leaving no opportunity for external recruitment for a while. Please note this is mere speculation & I am not in the know!!

Nunc est bibendum
Pilots of F/As???
Are we talking about pilots or Flight attendants? I note the line about 'Australian interviewing' and assume that is for F/As because they have just taken another batch of 767 drivers from QF and so have no need to interview.
All getting a bit confusing!

T Girl's talking about F/A recruitment it seems. Nonetheless, with the 'recruitment freeze' from the last few months now seemingly over (assuming F/A recruitment resumes in October as stated), the way seems clear for pilot recruitment to resume once the demand is there.
Bdcer - don't forget the A333s going international within the next 6 months (if all goes to plan). As yet there are no S/Os on that type - watch this space.

I have no idea how the system works at Q recruiting, all I know is that I have some pals who have had Reference checks, Dental X-rays and security checks completed prior to the freeze on courses and I was wondering if 'that' is the short list Toowoombagirl is referring to.
Like I said before no idea how it all works.

Was once told in April of a particular year that QF wasn't going to take any pilots for the 'forseeable future' and that meant at least 2-3 years. They took the first pilot less than three months later and had taken in 80 within the six months after that! 
Things can change. This is this weeks five year plan. Who knows what next weeks may bring. It may be better, it may be worse. Don't get too wound up in the 'rumours'. It'll happen when it happens.
Regards
