As a FA for Eastern I can tell you we conducted several rounds of interveiws for ex ansett group FA's ONLY. From this we have 30++ new FA's from kendell/ansett. This discrimination has denied many eager however inexperienced applicants the opportunity to as least interview for positions. It has also prevented career progression from QF regionals to mainline Qantas as positions available were given to ex ansett staff. I don't really think you have a right to complain when Qantas has given ex ansetters preference over there own staff. For some out there it was clearly time to hang up thier wings anyway. Cino I am compassionate toward those affected by Ansetts plight but it could be seen comming since things went sour last Easter. Good things come to those who wait............ PATIENTLY.
