Hi Caitrose - Yes I have had the exact same experience during the same timeline as you. I was offered Sydney base in August but after talking it through with a HR team member I decided commuting wasn’t going to work with my family so I chose to stay on the Melb hold list and was told not to expect to hear anything more until the new year so still waiting for any further updates. 🤞🤞🤞 apparently they were initially told to fill 6 Melb GS but then it was cut back to 2 so the 2 ground schools were mainly filled with internals who didn’t have to pass the security checks as they were working crew. I believe there will be more Melb GS in the new year but it’s a waiting game for sure. Have you heard anything more or did you take Sydney base?
