Hi everyone,
They said they are hiring for the busy period, December to March and then they went quite.
Does that mean after March you will be out of work or given like 2 flights a fortnight?
Also, they said our casuals have gone to become full time at Qantas. How long is the wait though?
Are you able to transfer base if you are MAM?
Sorry, many questions I have... ?_?
When you're hired by MAM, they put you on a 'D contract'. This is a minimum of 14 shifts and maximum of 19 shifts per 28-day roster. However, you can pick up more shifts by calling crewing in Sydney. Crewing do your rosters and can see how many shifts you worked in previous months, and then assign base on this. Be eager for the shifts and you'll get shifts in return.
To transfer to Qantas mainline (and become full-time), you need to work for MAM for a year. This is due to MAM / Qantas rules where you need to work for MAM for a year before requesting a transfer with any Qantas subsidiary (Q catering, Qantas international) - however, you can apply for these if they're publicly hiring/advertising for positions.
And yes, you can transfer after a year.
