Hey!!!!!
Perth crew are really nice, so they will fit in. As long as they don't whinge about when are they going to get their transfers back home and how miserable they are here(although, for sure they're going to get homesick which is understandable) ???? i don't expect they will as everyone was told a minimum of 3 years wait in Perth.
Wow, only 6 months of being casual before being offered permanent??? Was that this time around? Only because the only people eligible for full time this time around were casual F/A's employed before June 2004 (if that's the case, that's gonna annoy A LOT of people).
the expression of interest form is the new procedure that QF are doing in regards to full time employment. As the email says, every year around June they will ask for expression's of interest to be submitted for permanent positions for that 12 month period. If no permanent positions come up in that 12 month period, then you will fill out another form next June for the next 12 month period and so on and so on. I guess its a way of tracking of who wants it and who doesn't as there are a lot of casuals who don't want full time for different reasons.
Looking forward to all these new people in PER and flying with them all.
