I'm sure all the guys and gals at subsidiaries of Qantas would be glad to hear that! Your insightful and intimate knowledge of mainline hiring preferences means they won't have to worry about anyone coming to mainline from international carriers. Phew!

Large proportion joining mainline as S/Os atm are ex HK, CX or Dragon. Last I heard several hundred applications for this round of recruitment from Cathay alone.

They mustn’t have looked very closely at the experience of 3/4 of the S/O’s getting hired at the moment with significant jet time then.

Clearly don’t know much about the topic.

Yeah, clearly. I am somewhat aware of the current hiring practices, and aware of the backgrounds of the recently hired with whom I fly. Even the rare ex CX etc ones. Ask those guys the next time if the hiring process was streamlined because of their prior jet experience.

The experience levels and backgrounds of new recruits have changed throughout the years, if at one point jet experience was a negative it certainly isn’t now. As once upon a time being ex Eastern or Sunnies Dash 8 was almost an automatic rejection, now that’s not the case.

With about 5x as many applicants as recruits needed a lot of pilots are going to get rejection letters. Now if by chance one pilot and their mates from a particular background unfortunately all get rejection letters it may seem there’s an organised conspiracy to not recruit them, that simply isn’t the case. It’s usually just co-incidence.

Mainline, like any carrier, just want to recruit people who they know are likely to pass training and not incur further costs there or at any point in the future.

I don’t think anyone claimed that it made their hiring process more streamlined, but it definitely didn’t disadvantage them/us.

Soooooo how that EA going???…… anyone….. bueller???

Pretty much a sure bet the first one will be voted down. No one is optimistic except those lunatics in the office. And even a few of them have seen the trees…

Keep dreaming kids.

70 hours a month short haul is working hard...



Sample 73 roster

You know the aim of the game is to do the LEAST amount of hours. That’s why base pay or min guarantee is so important!

Wouldn’t that mean the hourly rate and trip RIGs are the important metrics? What’s the point of having a high base pay if it means you’re flogged for it? If you’re not currently flogged for it, you will be!

Sorry I didn’t explain my thoughts well. A high base pay combined with a low overtime threshold and a high overtime figure is the goal.

Tipping The Scales

If not already, the scales at Network Aviation and further throughout the industry will soon start tipping heavily towards the employees...the local market has already changed

Qantas desperate to rehire staff who took redundancies or resigned

“As one of our cabin crew members who made an incredibly difficult decision to leave Qantas during the pandemic – we want to provide an update on how our recovery is going and the very different circumstances we’re operating in today.”

It said the business was “now back in profit and growing again...”

Not really interested in the pretty landscapes you fly but more how much you will pay us in this market. You want pilots pay them well.

You are smoking crack if you think pilots at network give an f about a ****ty ex jq a320 that's been covered in fire retardant from a hangar incident and probably a bucket of crap. Carrot my arse.

No crack needed to see 4 additional jets with the EBA open is high fives and promotions all round. What concessions were needed to meet the business case?

VQW did 8 years post incident work with Jetstar. I gather Network deserves new frames from France ? Now thats crack.

Contrary to what Aviation Management thinks they got taught during their work-from-home MBA's, promotions to operate extra capacity is required to support the business case. Stop believing that it is a carrot to sign a sub standard EBA because a fraction of the pilot body will get a seat or type change.

If management could, they would operate all airframes with the cheapest cadets ((in both seats), that they could find - it's got nothing to do with paying a competitive and respectable wage. Do managers also get offered an inferior EBA because Joe Soap down the corridor got a seat closer to the coffee machine...thus promotions for all as everyone gets to move one seat closer
