QF wants highly motivated self starting individuals.
Hold a current CASA Class 1 Medical Certificate
So how does a highly motivated Aussie individual stuck in the sandpit with a current GCAA medical apply for this position?

I don't know.

You're the one with the incentive to find out.

Have you taken the first step and called / contacted the appropriate individuals in CASA / QF to ascertain an answer?

My younger self without hesitation would have booked an Avmed exam online and flew to Aus on days off to tick the box after confirming this was the only option available.

Motivated enough to check the CASA website?

Keg,

I don't think lee_apromise's query is that clear cut, I have had the same one for a few months.

Holding a CASA CPL MEIR and the 7 ATPL conversion exam credits leaves you with the flight test to sit to obtain the license.

Holding a foreign ATPL MEIR and the 2 ATPL foreign conversion exam credits also leaves you with the flight test to sit to obtain the license.

Two candidates with either qualifications are in same position with respect to obtaining their ATPL when time permits.

Now I understand there is a difference in theory content between the two avenues - not necessarily lesser - just different, depending on which overseas ATPL syllabus you have completed.

The QF website now only states passed the 'ATPL aeronautical knowledge examination' or similar words. This leaves is open to interpretation as to what theory credits are acceptable.

I have queried a number of other major Aussie carriers recruitment departments and their reply has generally been, 'apply and we will consider your application on an individual basis'. Not so clear cut.

It would be great if someone has a definitive answer or has an experience to share regarding this?

That's what I meant. The wording on QF recruitment website is vague enough for different interpretation.

Just to be clear, to be in the same boat as traditional CASA CPL/MEIR + 7 ATPL subjects, ICAO ATPL holder must have CASA CPL with MEIR with passes in AOSA and AHUF.

When does QF S/O receive ATPL flight test? Is it done concurrently with their type rating if one meets Part 61 ATPL minimum flight experience?

I emailed QF and am waiting for their reply. It would be nice to know a definitive answer for Australians working in overseas with ICAO ATPL for future reference.

Motley,

It would be great to see many of you back here.
Lifestyle is great, money is good, not doing 100+ stick hours, no back of the clock night returns to the sub continent, no armed escorts to your hotel to/from some airports, and you will have a life expectancy past 60years old.

Good luck with the application!

Happy to be corrected, but don't believe any regulatory sims/checks conducted in QF can be counted as an ATPL flight test. It needs to be done off your own back.
If you are working overseas, its not as simple as some make it sound, esp. if your test needs to take place in one of the heavy jet sims.

A mute point, but can anyone shed light on QF staff travel policy / benefits?

Qantas will do the flight test for ATPL when they require one for your promotion course. Longhaul F/O or Shorthaul Command if you have not already got one.

Ok. Thanks for the clarification re the issues WRT the Aussie ATPL. If someone can PM me a synopsis I'll cut and paste it,top and tail it and try and get a definitive answer.

Further, on Friday and this morning the link that says register your EOI doesn't yet show up Trainee S/O when you search it. The intent was to not go live for external applicants until later this coming week. In the mean time the website was updated with current information and was supposed to say to expect the EOIs to open soon. The link was added before the vacancies have been 'opened' in the Taleo job site.

Expect it after Wednesday. I'll update more when I know.

Sorry to ask the same question twice but would a post grad Masters degree in a science related subject cover the education requirement without the Bachelor degree?

I agree with V-jet, merely for the fact you repeatedly spelled "Bachelor" incorrectly.

On the bright side, for those who leave EK to QF-be it the LWOP guys or experienced Captains, at least there will actually be some international experience in the cockpit again on a QF flight, something that has been sadly lacking in QF since it withdrew from most international routes.

QF flight decks have plenty of international experience.

C2L,

It's a bit of a cheap shot to disparage QF crew because they may not have the network that you enjoy, if it was left to the crew we would be going to every point on the planet, but unlike some other operators owners who think their fleet size is an extension of their appendage, we, as a publically listed company have to be responsible to the multitude of share holders and i guess at this point of time unlimited international destinations isn't a viable proposition.

Oh, and Good luck with getting your dogs home.

Pilots. What a unique breed we are. Only pilots can turn a positive subject about more jobs for all into pork ruler measuring exercise.

How is it that YOU, as so-called professional pilots be charged with the carriage of hundreds of paying customers (including members of my family) and PAID to not rush decisions, make such awful, flippant, quick-to-judge comments to your fellow colleagues (under the guise of so-called wit?).

And you wonder why pilots are losing professional credibility these days? You only have yourselves to blame.
