Not that strange

I can think of a few reasons. Just because you're on a hold file doesn't mean that you meet the current needs of the company. If an applicant was placed on the hold file due to the then needs of the...

The Qlink hold file is reasonably large and some applicants have been on it for up to two years.

Yes, both have a lot of people trying to return home, but "Melbs" as you so quaintly put it has around 1/3 of the crew requirement that Sydney has, hence the wait.

There is no comparison between...

Absolutely! Right now there are vacancies in Sydney, Brisbane and Cairns. It's most likely that you'd be based at one of these initially.

Melbourne has had a waiting list for over six years. Time...

DAN, what you may have heard was what happened around the GFC, IIRC.

There are FO vacancies at pretty much all the bases. There is even an FO vacancy on the 300 in MEL :eek:

Having said that, the bulk of the vacancies are in Qld.

It depends on if you've got to do your "traineeship" stuff at Moorabbin.

IIRC, while you're at Moorabbin you don't get paid.

The day you start in Sydney is your start date at the company and...

No they don't! It may come as a suprise but there are no hidden tricks in the SIM (for interviews). The Sim assessors want to see how well you fly basic procedures. All they want to...

To be blunt, Qlink are in the process of bleeding pilots and the rate of atrittion is only going to increase in the near future.

This is coupled with 7 new airframes arriving next year (i.e. 70...

Hard to say. :(

All I've heard is "more recruiting" for more FO's. Whether that's from the DEFO available people, or from a "traineeship" I don't know.

There were DE applicants in the first four trainee intakes (i.e. there were DEFO's that started in late July). AFAIK there has never been a bias against DE recruiting.

They explained that one to us at the Qlink roadshow last year.

They want a "level playing field" for the sim rides, and the best way they could do that was to do it in a sim that no-one would be...
