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.
Thanks for all that info danlloyd1, that answers a few questions that I had as well.
Have now received my medical email and have paid the fee and now waiting for them to contact me to make a booking
Has anybody heard any rumours about GS dates?
