Nope! They did say to expect up to an 6-8 week wait(because of the ASIC stuff and general backlog). It just took forever. All of my references were checked in the first 3 days, too. Then nothing. For two looong and agonising months.
I was knocked back on the day after they grounded all services...I thought maybe they knocked everyone back as an attempt to save some money.
I'm not terribly fussed, I got an F/A job with Jetstar a few weeks after that so I'll probably try again in a year or so or go for Emirates when I'm 21
