So what's the goss with aircraft types? A course started this week. Can anyone shed some light on what type was on Monday's intake and what was on Tuesdays?

Just get on with it!
 

Who gives a toss, take what you are given and get on with it. Either way you look at it (A330 or B744) I am sure it will be than the situation you are in now.

:ok:

About how long did you guys have to wait after your interview to find out you were in?

I Do.

You know my situation do you?

I am interested because the 744 has a different rostering setup than the
A330.
I am interested because you generally get more allowances due to overtime on the 744.
I am interested on behalf of all the other prospective candidates who will be starting their conversions in the next few months.
So, politely pull your head in and don't waste thread space by inserting useless posts like yours.

i dont know about 1500 over 6 years. that works out to be 250 a year!

a mate of mine got in and was shown the figures of what they will be recruiting for the next 3 years. it was 100 or 150 per year for 3 years (i cant remember the exact number).

but he could be wrong. therefore so could i. i personally hope you are right strobe, that would very good news for all:ok:

happy flying folks

Hi all,

Has anybody else recieved start dates for April? Perhaps May or June also???

I've got a letter of intent (few weeks gone by now, waiting patiently/nervously) and the missus is getting sick of sweeping fingernails off the floor...:bored:

h.o.t.a.s.

Hey HOTAS, i'm in the same boat. Got letter of intent 3 weeks ago, and still waiting!!!! (but lovin it)

Got the magic call
 

Got the magic call a day ago for an 8th of April start, which is a Tuesday!!!!!!

Good Stuff...

How long was the wait from letter of intent, to ref checks, to start date??

Might have to change names to 747monkey!

Magic call
 

Basically 8 weeks from letter of intent to ref checks and 4 weeks from ref checks to start date. The 8 weeks has been long though!!!! :rolleyes: Hopefully the next 4 go really fast :ok:

Mind you there was xmas and new years in between.

It might have to change to 747Monkey, either one is just as good :)

"I am interested because you generally get more allowances due to overtime on the 744"

Allowance payments on slips have nothing to do with overtime payments

Can anyone tell me which sim the sim ride is flown in. Is it the 767 or 747?

Cheers

767-300er:}

and by the way, my post earlier is incorrect as I found out first hand. hr lady told me 250-260 pilots being hired per year.

numberssss
 

242 new recruits exactly 08/09 fin year

from the chief pilot himself (via a friend)

Monday start - recruiting A330
 

Just curious if anyone is starting on the 7th of April???

Is QF still recruiting for A330?????

Rumours that the four guys slated for the A330 that started either last month or in the last couple of days have been switched to the 744 and now have a few weeks off before their ground school starts. Lack of sim time on A330 anywhere apparently.

Heard it third hand at Breakky in LHR so it may not be accurate!

Merged: QF Recruitment
 

I heard QF are looking to recruit 10 guys per month for the next 2 years. Does anybody know how credible this is?

More like 4 a week for the next 2+ years (from the CP)

This topic was started in another thread only a few days ago... Various figures have been thrown around... such numbers like 400+ per year to 200 per year. They are all massive numbers so not sure how credible any of them are really.

If these large numbers are true, what would be interesting to know is how peple are shaping up in the psych tests. With the current demand are they taking people that they wouldn'y have looked at several years ago or is the psych test just a formality these days?

I know of one guy who didn't make it into QF. Has ATPLs, heaps of multi time, etc.

They can't be that desperate or he must've screwed up the interview/sim big time.
