It will actually open June/ July 2005 .... and at this stage any person who wishes to work for QANTAS ( read - QANTAS ... hang on you will get my point in a bit .......) has to be a permanent resident of Australia ... thats why BA people enquiring to QF HR would get a 'not likely' response ..... cos they are asking about working for the wrong company !!!!!!!!!!!! We wont be working for Qantas ....
HOWEVER ... the crew employed for the LHR base (including current QF staff wishing to go there) will be employed by a UK based company called QF Cabin Crew UK .... this company does not exist yet .... but will do shortly, so you will have to apply to them .... not QANTAS ...
Those of us already here at QF and wanting to be based in LHR will have to take 2 years leave without pay from QF, have to go through a selection process to get the job with QF Cabin Crew UK ..... we will be working for a completely different company ... on a contract ... different conditions .....with approved leave from Qantas .....and maybe with no staff travel etc ...... but who cares ???? what an adventure
