Having previously flown as Crew for another airline, dont' listen to every bad thing you hear, its either politics or jelous crew... I have heard great things about Qantas, and I have my interview on the 10th and can not wait!! I did meet an ex Australian QFCC at another interview and he did his best to put me off and nearly succeeeded but I've later learnt it was all rubbish..
As for QFUK being bad payers, the crew that moan about this obviously havent worked for Virgin! lol... when I was told on the phone the basic salary I nearly fell off my chair! Its fantastic and is a great bonus to what seems to already be a fantastic airline to work for.
So go for it! its all good experience going to these interviews, you may find yourself pleasently surprised
