hey can someone answer a few questions for me.

when i got my call, for some reason i remember them saying we don't get uniform allowances but in the contract it says that we do.. so which one is right?

and.. does qantas take care of the dry cleaning of our uniforms? cos i know when i went to the Jetstar AD they said they do but Qantas never mentioned it anywhere... unless i missed it.

thanks =)

At the AD they said uniforms are paid for and you get heaps.

Then they also said in your normal pay rate/allowances dry cleaning is factored into that I believe.

Uniform allowance is paid in training while you wear the uniform-2 weeks. After that its included in the hourly pay. You have to pay for dry cleaning yourself

Don't suppose any of you know if it's okay to have a (very) small dog in the apartment that's provided to us during training.

I know it's okay for family to stay...but i can't find anyone to look after my dog so it looks like i'll need to bring him with me somehow.

Has anyone tried to call Qantas training recently? I'm trying to call them to confirm that I have received the training email but no one is picking up for the past few days

Sorry, but you will absolutely not be able to take your dog with you to Sydney!! What will you do when you finish training and get called out on a 5 day trip with 2 hours notice?? Might be a good idea to get doggy sitting organised before heading to do the training!! Good luck!

Hey I had my interview in Perth on the 18th of January and heard my references were contacted on Tuesday so I guess am in the same boat as you waiting for some sort of response. Some one from my group got an email saying she wasn't successful on Wednesday. So hopefully we are fine I hope guess we just have to wait and see like everyone else

Yes I've heard that people have received unsuccessful emails already. So no news is good news I hope. Just wait wait wait. I'm unemployed at the moment but would love to be working ASAP.

Yes I hope so. Apparently my ref check went brilliant. So just hope I get asked for a medical as that means a good thing I hope. By the end of next week I'd like to hear something. Waiting to hear from virgin too. The waiting game is frustrating.

I don't have a problem with 5 days. Or 14 days. I have a problem with 2 months...I wouldn't have asked if i hadn't exhausted my other options.

I'll just rent a place for the 7 weeks.

Does anyone know if there's a copy of the MAM employment agreement anywhere online? Is it the same( or similar to) the Qantas one on their website?

I've had a look around but the only one i can find is the Qantas one.

Talking

Hi Cabin Girl, Mangowaffles & Cherry411,
So excited to be here & I think I have the same training date as you all in Feb! Will be great to meet you in person!

I had read by Danfromaus that you wear a business clothing first few days then the uniform that they provide after that. I received an email mentioning that the business dress standard is for first 4weeks. Does anyone have any thoughts or clarification on this point?

If I can avoid packing too heavy because business clothes are so bulky that would be handy to know. Plus they cost a ton. Anyways, thanks heaps! Peace out.

It's more likely to be for a few weeks.
After the clothes are fitted, they need to be made and such.

I know with Jetstar it takes 3 weeks for the uniform to arrive and until then we wear business clothing.
