Hey JamesTockuss,

How did the panel interview go? What did they ask/get you to do? How did you respond during the interview? I have my interview in two weeks = ) As a side question, how long did it take recruitment to call you after Stage 2?

And xXmuffin0manXx you need to check yourself mate.
i have many of the questions they ask..just gotta find it

found them:

Tell us about a time where you were in a social situation, but weren’t in a leadership position, but have had to adopt a leadership position.
What do SOs do?
Tell us a bit about yourself, starting from when you left school to where you are now
How did you pay for your flying?
Tell us about a time that you thought you made a big mistake
Did you ever have a situation of conflict at work, did it get heated?
Tell us a little about flying
When did you have a situation where you panicked, would you have done it differently?
Did you ever have to make a snap decision without all the facts?


What\'s my biggest achievement so far in flying?


What characteristics do you think Pax think a captain should posses?
Tell us about a time you were unfairly critisised, how did you react?
What was the greatest difficulty for you to overcome to be where you are today?


What is your greatest achievement outside aviation?
On a scale of 1 to 10, you have someone at 10 who can\'t make a decision to save themselves, they need help from around them, and at the other end you have number 1, who is very independent and makes fast decisions and needs no one to help him. Which number you think you are?


Give me 4 strong points in your character.



Give me 4 weak points in your character.
What rules have you broken?


Yes there are not many pilots around who have not broken flight and duty times, what other rules have you broken? Come on you must have broken something?


Have you ever been asked to break the rules?
What did you do about it?


Tell us about a time that you had to stand up for your-self.
Tell us a time you had to lead a group.


Describe a situation in which you were able to use persuasion to successfully convince someone to see things your way.
Describe a time when you were faced with a stressful situation that demonstrated your coping skills.
Give me a specific example of a time when you used good judgment and logic in solving a problem.
Give me an example of a time when you set a goal and were able to meet or achieve it.
Give me a specific example of a time when you had to conform to a policy with which you did not agree.
Tell me about a time when you had to go above and beyond the call of duty in order to get a job done.

qantas expansion

and how 70% of unsw graduates have been employed within 2months..

entry in qantas (500-2000hrs)

licenses you get at unsw (ppl,cpl, atpl theory, ir, instructor)

the structure of the course (1st year follows management then 2and and 3rd are flying..cost for flying is 102 000 AUD)

a few stories on ex-graduates..

futre aircraft (787, a380)

emloyment prospects


that was pretty much about it..
