Hi 604chic,
I too went through QF/MAM & heard that QF may be reruiting Long-Haul non-language speakers in coming weeks if quality & quantity of recent Long-haul applicants is not adequate.They may wait until end of that process & reassess numbers etc.
As I said-I heard this from someone else & I guess it may just be a rumour like alot of other info.
As for QF/MAM & reapplying,as people received these unsuccessful letters when we were in Melb,this question was asked but not to the appropriate people in the know,most thought that you can re-apply as the letter does state that you are unable to re-apply with"MAM" within the next 6 months,it did not say Qantas??Sorry,I can't be certain,maybe someone else out there might know??
I hope that QF do recruit & you make it through-Good-luck
