Hi Kassey,
thanks for your kind words, it made me feel better knowing someone cares about the outcome...
I was hoping I could just apply for a discretionary asic, I was surprised auscheck would bring up a conviction (from 1994) Qantas was not interested in hearing the circumstances, they just deleted my application.kind of like the bank when they take possession of your house. Tbh I was so surprised they even sent a GS offer and allowed me to get my hopes up, also the waste of time getting the RSA, medical, and CPR certs. Ive known all of the above for 30 years.
I thought it was weird everyone else had to pay for their medical except me. But id rather be rejected at the start and and be upfront. I could sue them for discrimination as I told them and FYI convictions older than 10 years are spent. For not returning a rent a bomb hire car? it’s a bit hard to return a car when it breaks down.
I wasn’t too disappointed as I had prepared mentally, I told myself that offer didn’t count because it’s conditional in passing the asic security check, which I knew I might not.
I was so young, I didn’t organise a lawyer as I thought it was ridiculous to expect me to pay for a tow truck to return a broken down rental car. I should’ve called the owner but I had a lot on my plate caring for my toddler and working. They shouldn’t be lending unroadworthy hire cars, but life is very unfair to a single parent with no family support. It’s black and white and that’s what happens if you don’t hire a lawyer. It’s embarrassing but that’s what happened..
Anyway, how are you going?
I read this post today from a current FO and he said to expect some delays, (10 wks) but so long as you are still in the system you can expect ground school! That’s amazing! And have u heard about bids? It’s worth reading his post,
it explains the delays in GS but this is still good, just gotta be patient girl
