Hi all. Well I got thru to medical stage!!. I was a flight force flight attendant. M.A.M is / was formerly flight force operating for ansett. My belief is that conditions will be very similar to what they were for us at flight force. Lets hope they ironed out some of the problems. Work is purely seasonal as with flying hours..some months heaps of work...other months limited hours. However things may have improved. I do have a friend working for MAM out of melbourne who said the deal was pretty much the same.
There are no flight benefits. Pay is approximately $30 per hour. with DTA over and above that. I think that works at nearly $5 per hour away from home...so from sign on to sign off.
As for now I do believe that they are looking primarily at ex ansett staff and have done or are in process of recruiting australia wide.
All people that are thru to medical stage are not selected as of yet. I believe that MAM / Qantas has not set numbers yet for bases. Alot of people seemed to be getting thru second interviews so the next selection process is thru the psyche tests we were made to do on the day. I believe 100ish were successful in getting thru to medical and they will probably take 25 - 50 for training school with perhaps the remainder being on hold files.
hope this helps
MAM contact number...based in melbourne is. 0393727586
All the best. The guy to talk to is Maurice Alexander.
I do not know if this will lead to permenant down the track!
