Euphemia,
I would strongly advise Socialflyer to DISREGARD your advice.
The Qantas subsidiaries Eastern,Sunstate,Australian Airlines and Jetstar are not like mainline Qantas. The recruitment is done by their own people and they are constantly recruiting throughout the year.The people on shortlists only stay on them for a few months - the waitlists are always actioned and they do not "inconvience" applicants as may be the case with Qantas mainline.
Calling up eastern and "telling them to be straight with you" is a good way to get your application scrapped !
