Just some interesting facts about applying for the position of F/A in aussie, those who have just gone through Qantas interviews, only 0.8 % will get through, they are incredible odds, Ansett has just hired about 50 new staff, most of them being late 20's to early 30's, teachers, Nurses, all have had very extensive careers before the airline, it seems very unusual to see a new F/A less than about 28 these days! With a hell of a lot of experience as well, not just working on thee front desk at a hotel for 6 months. In Aussie, it's very tough to get in, lack of airlines....lots of people!
