Melbourne MAM AD

Received an email this morning inviting me to the MAM Casual Crew interviews on the 19th of January for the Melbourne Base!

Any tips from the guys who have just been offered positions?
I recently attended a Jetstar AD and got to final round, and have my Tiger AD the day before, so hopefully I have something that they are looking for.

Wish me luck!!

Yes also going to Sydney AD next week. Don't know what to expect as never been to one but I'm sure it will be fine! Can only do you best.

Have no idea what exactly the position is apart from casual work for qantas. Is it qantaslink? I wonder how casual is "casual" and how many hours. Will have to see

hey guys congrats to getting to AD. its very easy, just a couple of games and presenting, interacting with fellow recruits. you go to lunch and if you receive a text back then you go back to hand in documents and panel interview.

its to work onboard Qantas Domestic and Short Haul flights - Boeing 737, 767 and Airbus a330.

Really looking forward to the day! I wonder how many people they are recruiting at the moment, and how hard getting to GS is? Compared to other airlines.

Very much I hope I get through (as does everyone else I guess). See how it goes! And what type of people they look for in qantas.

Hi mangowaffles,
we should receive our emloyment pack very soon (this week or early next week). The lady I spoke to today told me if I don't receive it by next friday I should give them a ring but she will look in to it as well. When I got my golden call I was told I'll get my pack within 2 weeks. That was 19.12.
I would like to know what is in the employment pack.

Congrats to all starting ground school soon - it sounds so exciting
If there is anybody who has completed a recent g/s can you tell me with the 7 weeks what is the schedule like? I am thinking of applying but I have 2 kids and not sure if I could be away for that long? So is there times when you have a few days off in a row? If so I could commute back to perth. Do you get a roster as such outlining duty times etc? Any info would be very useful - I know you find all this out @ the interviews if selected but insider info is sometimes more useful??
thanks heaps

Shelbs –

I haven’t been to ground school yet so don’t take my word for it but from my understanding, ground school is very tough and intense and i don’t think you will have time to commute back to Perth. 7 weeks can be a long time away from your kids but maybe you can work around it? Have your kids come and visit you for a weekend or something while you’re at training? I think training is held 7 days a week so even on weekends and some public holidays!

Lets wait and hear from those that know a bit more about training and see what they say =)

Possible but difficult.

Better for them to visit you during training, should be fine for them to stay with you (unless you are sharing rooms for the whole training now)

Check if you have access to staff travel right away, or only after passing. It could get expensive flying back and forth.

If you haven't got good family/friends support to look after your kids while you're gone, forget it.

Today I received an email from qantas training. Its some kind of on-line training modules to help us prepare for Emergency Procedures. Did anyone else receive the same email?
Its getting closer I can't wait.
