Every dog has its day
Got one myself too Cart Tart. Am sorry for you.
For what its worth, it doesn't make me angry, disappointed, yes.
I'm lucky, I'm already flying, and about to join another airline with a couple of steps up the ladder.
I guess in the bigger scheme of things there are two options for flight safety professionals who seek employment:
1. There are airlines that have professional recruitment processes, and who advertise honestly. Those companies will attract and retain high performers who work to win customers.
2. The other option is Qantas.
My fellow Shortlisters, you WILL get your piece of sky, because in your hearts you are the true Spirit of Australia.
Good luck to all of you.
