Hi all!
So I had a voicemail left on my phone Monday afternoon from Qantas Recruitment asking me to call back. By the time I finished work it was too late, so I called Tuesday morning.
I've just been successful for Melbourne base starting 24th November! No idea what aircraft/s, or if training will be here in Melbourne or interstate. I cannot believe it's finally happened, almost a year to the day since I applied. I don't think it's quite hit yet. But I think it's about to. I'm just about to go and hand my resignation in with 6 days notice, for my new job where I've been for only 3 weeks :o! But that's life for you!
When I was moved to 'hired' in the system, 2 emails were automatically generated that my 'application had been withdrawn'. I've been reassured this is an IT error. I'm certainly not going to withdraw it after all of this!
For all of those still on hold, or going through the processes, hang in there, I know it's hard. I used to fly for another airline, and if you haven't flown before, you will find it is such an amazing career. It's a fantastic industry, and once you get used to it, you'll never want to leave!

May I ask, you mentioned about the 'system', what do you mean by this? How can we access the application status?

Are you starting on 22nd? Or 24th? Just double checking.

Thank you
It was the Taleo recruitment system that they use. The one you put your application into initially I'm not too sure if it allows you to see your status however.

If this is during the EP component of your training be prepared for them to let you go and schedule you into another school. Sick and Personal leave during training especially EP's is a deal breaker not because the business are not supportive its just that you will be 1 day behind the rest of your class and the way the training is scheduled there is no opportunity to catch up. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news,

Hi everyone
I finished groundschool about 3 weeks ago thought I'd give a few things
Pretty much every ground school out at the moment (all I've seen for all bases) is mainline 747,330
Training wage is 1300 after tax a fortnight
The overnight allowances are good
It's 1 week of customer service
4 weeks of EPs and another week of service
Rosters are 2 monthly with 18 days off in that roster period pretty much a min of 2 days off gantuteed after each trip
Hope that helps a little
Good luck to all who got golden calls x

I have actually contacted Qantas and made some arrangements to my issues! We do have days off during training and I will be using those days off instead of taking a leave! But thanks anyway

Thank you soooo much for the info it's very much appreciated!!
Can I ask if your training was regular Monday-Friday 9-5 or did it vary to get you used to the crazy hours?
I hope your enjoying flying 🤗

Golden Call
I got my start date this morning. Still in a state of shock but very excited. They were hoping I might be released in time to do 30th November (would have been a mad scramble to move back to Sydney in that time, but I would have worked magic), instead I have now been offered January start date. Relief and excitement is in abundance right now.
Hold tight everyone, your patience is worth it.

I'm not sure where training will be yet. They said contract will be sent out soon which will hopefully give a bit more detail. I'm happy with wherever it is. I now have time to start flying my stuff back to Sydney and will be all prepared, cannot wait to start
