OMG, congrats!!!
So, your medical was done beginning of August... And it's mid October now! o.O
Hahaha, that sounds sooo bad for the rest of us who still didn't even receive the email to go on and do it!
I had lunch yesterday here in Dubai with a few QF crew currently here on a layover who I worked with before and they said there's been a lot of internal rumors that 'on hold' status will last for a longer time.
What they were told is that all of us 'active holders' , who are not through with medical, are meant to be utilized for the new aircrafts and those aren't coming for a while. Like I said, this is just a bit of crew gossip and I'm in no way saying that that is seriously the case, but just wanted to share it with the rest of y'all.
