Thanks for posting the info Bizzi Boi

This would be a great oppurtunity for a few months work with Qantas but unfortunately have to inform anyone applying that this would not lead to permanent work.

Reason?

Qantas need strike breakers during the upcoming industrial action (December time).

Let me tell you though that as a fixed term contract you are 100% entitled to join the union (www.faaa.net) and also refuse to work on strike days.

The only chance of you being made permanent is if the London base does not go ahead. If you support the strike there may be a chance of being made permanent.

If the London base goes ahead then once your contract expires Qantas will say see you later and hire people based in London.

If you want a few months experience then go for it. If you want a permanent role I would advise you to still apply but also support the union so the London base does not open.

Good luck.
