Hi there,
I had an assesment day in August with Qantas for the fixed term long haul F/A position. Not speaking another language, not holding a passport, RSA or first aid certificate and applying almost two years ago I found the whole thing a little dodgey.
Nethertheless, I went along and got a phone call two weeks later asking for my documents. In two weeks, as well as finishing my univeristy degree I completed senior first aid, RSA and got a passport. I then had a medical and I just returned from Melbourne after two weeks of intensive 12 hours a day training sessions. I heard back but now after I have done everything Qantas has asked me too I am waiting for the promised 3 month contract if it is even offered!

I accepted the position but not as a strike breaker. I see the position as one where I get to fly. I am not standing in the way of any of the current crew and i\'m not taking their jobs. What is so bad about being a strike breaker - think of it as work experience.
