Sorry to jump to another semi famous person but didn't Susie Maroney (the long distance swimmer) become a Qantas flight attendant not too long ago? I remember reading that she was short listed or something. Is she flying with Qantas?
actually i think ms maroney told a few porky pies and got a bit carried away with herself. seems she never got any further than the shortlist but was giving media interviews telling people she had been given training dates and knew before anyone else that she would be doing LH. Caused a bit of an uproar from those who had been waiting longer as it seemed she was receiving special treatment.
Anyway, regardless of what happened, she didnt get past the shortlist and like many of the hundreds of people in the same position has prob not been contacted since.
