Well - they didn't forget about ME!
QF HR called me this morning to ask me firstly did I work for Impulse/Jetstar or Virgin. Strange considering there isn't a hint on my application that I work, or have worked, for Virgin.
I replied Impulse/Jetstar.
The response was as follows:
"OK...um...ahhh...so you're already employed by the Qantas Group.
We were just checking who you worked for. Um...ahhh...um....that's okay.
Just needed to confirm that detail. Don't know why we thought you worked for Virgin.
Okay...um...just disregard this call then, okay?"
So...reading between the um's and the ahh's here, it would appear they were on the VERGE (oh yes, the verge) of asking me to join the 10-month contract list...BUT WERE STOPPED! YES - held back by the fact that I'm in the same position as Cloud Nine (with ya girl!)
I now return to learning my A320 drills and equipment, secure in the fact that when all around me looks like crap for the QF shortlist, I at least have a permanent full time flying job like Cloudy!
OH yes - we're not moving till we're offered permanent!
