cabin girl - got the training modules today.. strange thing is, the person who was looking into it for me, she said that they only just received the final copy of participants in my class so no one has been sent the training modules so they are not sure why you got it. its weird.. cos you didnt get the training info and timetable email so i hope nothing got changed =/ hope they get back to you soon!

vitamin a - would love you show you around sydney =) thats if we have time cos training will be very intense haha.. i live very close to Qantas head quarters (and im guessing near the hotels you will be staying) so i will be your guide

Sydneysider88,

I'm not sure of the transfer agreement between Virgin Dom and Intl, but one plus for going Mam casual is the possibility of transferring across to QCCA. The rumour going around work is that QCCA won't be hiring at all, we'll be getting all new crew from QD and Mam and conversion classes are booked to Sept.

Congrats to everyone getting through, my best friend is waiting too

congrats on finally receiving the EP's modules. I also find it strange as I got them on 13.1. This was the last contact from MAM. Im hoping for email fom MAM in next couple of days to confirm the location. I was told today (from MAM recruitment) there are 2 classes starting on 10th. Im probably not in the same class as you and Vitamin A.

I don't think you will have any problems if you are wearing contacts. They will ask you to read the smalest text that you can. The hardest I found was the audiogram (hearing test). I also had a letter from my GP confirming my vaccinations and their dates. I was so scared of my medical as I had a surgery on my knee (works perfect now) but that was not a issue to them. I was told I passed the medical at the end. Good Luck

I also didn't expect to hear I passed on the day. I did my medical in Sydney at the Qantas Jetbase with Dr.R.Brown. He just said to me at the end that the good thing is that I had all document with me and I came here because all files are send to him and he is the one who decides if pass or fail. Hope you hear good news soon!

cabincrew88 - i did my medicals in sydney but not at the qantas jetbase, the doctors are able to tell you on the spot if you pass or not cos they can pretty much see if you're physically fit, i asked them if i will find out and they said yes the doctor will let you know right away.

just make sure you have all documents and get all vaccinations done beforehand! cos that can take some time waiting if you havent done all those

Don't get your hopes high that's for sure.

I was at the syd AD on the 17th jan. references checked 2 days later.

Still heard nothing and waiting.

Good luck. I've forgotten about it now, takes a while. Looks like they've had A LOT of ADs and a VERY big recruitment drive so LOTS of people to go through. C

Ahhh, no fair. I don't know why this executive approval thing is taking so long.
Especially, when they know i'm starting with Jetstar on Monday.

How long did it take for your application to get the final approval? (Assuming that you were called and told it was going to the executive approval)

I've heard they have SO MANY to go through jacintamerri. I know people who have been waiting weeks in the final exec. Approval stage.
Who knows how long it will be. They have had no answer from MAM. so they just wait. But MAM has tons of applications through at the moment and lots towards the end and are culling still. As there are way more applications than positions i heard.

I am also waiting. Sucks for you with the jetstar thing.

It's killing me! Hahha. I was really hoping to hear something by today but that's now looking less and less likely.

Hopefully I hear something before I'm offered a contract at the end of training...I just feel like I'm screwing Jetstar over if I go through with the training and then jump ship to MAM.
