MAM QF Casuals

[Chibi88]

So good to see that everyone's progressing well. Thank you for all the informations and guidance guys! Enjoy your training! Let's go to Sydney!

Hi everyone,

For those who are still waiting to progress just be patience. I know it's disheartening seeing everyone getting calls and you're not but you will get there. It took me 6 months.

Congratulations to those who has offers for ground school. My biggest advice is
STUDY - STUDY - STUDY and STUDY like there is no tomorrow....
Ground school (EPs) is very tough. If you don't study you can and will fail in exams.
​​​​​​
4 people in my training group got removed from failing too many exams.
I am not scaring you but giving you a glance into the course and prepare, be prepared.

​​​​​​Good luck with you up coming training 👍😊

Hi Tina!
Oh wow.. Can't wait to see you next week! 😊
That's cool, I just open my empty luggage thinking how to fit everything for 7weeks😅. Have you? Do we get 20Kg allowance ?

[Tinamariexo]

:)Chibi ! Hehe.... I went shopping today thinking exactly the same n I have soooo much sitting in my open suitcase
Not sure of they weight, anything over 20kg bonus :)xo

[Chibi88]

Hey all!
I’m a MAM PER based F/A, I started in November. Just thought I’d let you guys know if you didn’t already that being a casual, we don’t get full rostered duty rosters. Every month we get about 3/4 duties allocated to us, if we’re lucky. The rest are AV spans which means you’re on call. In our ground school none of us knew this.. It’s okay if you don’t have kids or live far from the airport. I live over an hour away and always give myself 2 hours to get to the airport but when you’re on call - they give 2 hours notice
The AV spans are generally 4am - 4pm, 11am -11pm. and they can call us at 2am for a 4am start if that’s the start time of your AV span. So it’s a long day of being on call, we get paid 1hrs pay every 3hrs. In saying that though I have been called out almost every day I’ve been on call 😊
If you have any questions feel free to message me on facebook, my username is my fb name! good luck with your ground schools. Sydney is the best for EPs 😁

Hi Madi! Thank you for this info! I really appreciate this. Are all exams in writing or will there be some multiple choice? Haha.. Kinda nervous about exams. Xx thank you

[Chibi88]

Hey Tina, all packed? 😆 My flight is In the morning, are you gonna be on the same flight? If you are, see you there! Xx

[Madi_burr]

Hi Madi! Thank you for this info! I really appreciate this. Are all exams in writing or will there be some multiple choice? Haha.. Kinda nervous about exams. Xx thank you

The exams are so easy if you study! from memory there was about 2/3 written and the rest were all multiple choice on the computers for EPs and iPads during service training 😊
You have to get 80% to pass otherwise you have to come back and resit, if you fail that you get a letter sent to MAM, I think you can fail 3 times and then they pretty much ask you to leave. They give you a fair shot though because it costs them lots of money to send us through training

[flyhighmnl]

Good Day!

I received an email for an assessment day and there are documents to bring on that day. Can anyone help me on the list of the documents from category A-D? There was no file attached to the email. Or where can I email them to ask for the list? Thank you.

Hi Oblique2018.
Congratulations!
After almost 5 months I finally received my golden call a couple of days ago.
Yes hang in there everyone who is going through the process. Some may take longer than others for lots of various reasons.
Hang in there and remain positive :)

[leilajas]

Any news about Sydney? I have heard nothing.

[katoppy]

hey guys!! I finally received my golden call yesterday after 7 months!!! Soooo excited. Is anyone else here attending the GS in Sydney on April 5th? I’d love to make a chat or something to meet you all before we fly out!! If you are, feel free to add my Facebook - Kat Oppy. Can’t wait, see you in Sydney ✈️✈️

[flylove]

Any news about Sydney? I have heard nothing.
Are you referring to the upcoming Sydney Ground School, or your Sydney based application?

[Eve Melbourne]

Hey Guy's for everyone going to Sydney in April I'm currently in Sydney right now for ground school we are in our 2nd week of EPs I'm giving you guys the heads up it's hard!!!! Very intense you have exam every 2nd day your practical you are watched on everything you do there are so many things to remember commands drills I highly recommend you start reading the manual when you get access to it we have the most amazing trainers who really make sure you understand everything you need to dedicate every waking moment to studying I haven't left the area where I am because I just constantly study study study any time you have off because you don't have much time to remember everything. I guess I'll be seeing you guys when you come to Sydney as we all stay in the same hotel I suggest you start preparing yourself mentally and physically emotionally because it does take a toll on your body the stress the pressure lack of sleep and the written exams are tough. but If you are passionate enough and have the drive you can push yourself to the max believe in yourself and know you can do this all the best guys see you in Sydney 😊😊😊

[Oblique2018]

Hi Kat and Flylove.
Yes I am in the April GS. Which base are you two going to be at? I’m ADL . Congrats and see you soon.

Eve,
thanks so much for the insight. Good luck with the rest of it. . Exciting stuff

[leilajas]

Are you referring to the upcoming Sydney Ground School, or your Sydney based application?
Yes, they advertised for Sydney, but I don’t know if anyone has heard anything?

[Eve Melbourne]

Yes, they advertised for Sydney, but I don’t know if anyone has heard anything?
I'm referring to the next ground school in April there is a Melbourne based class coming 4th of April and another state 5th of April I'm not to sure what state that is. I'm currently in ground school now in my 2nd week of EPs and it's very tough so just prepare because it is intence who ever is coming to Sydney ground school 5th or 4th see you then 😊

[Wingwing]

Is anyone on here who attended MEL AD on 12/3/19?

[flygirl26]

Hi,

I attended that assessment day. How did you go?

[flygirl26]

Is anyone here heading to Sydney for GS on May 12th? Would love to chat and get familiar with my new "family".

Would also love to hear from anyone who's completed or in the process of GS a little on what to expect. Although I've been though GS before with a different airline I'm still super nervous!

Hey I’m attending too. Can’t wait to meet everyone. X

[givemewings]

you need to dedicate every waking moment to studying I haven't left the area where I am because I just constantly study study study any time you have off

as someone who has done QF EPs as well as EK and several others, I STRONGLY advise you to have some "down time" or you will find it very hard to get through the course. You can't function on it study. Even if it's only 30 mins to watch a silly show on tv or 15 mins walk around the block, do something to give your mind a break. I've seen people try the "study only" mode and it's trouble.

PS I did 98% or higher on every exam ever using this method so it does work.

good luck trainees!

[islandwings]

Hi there, I've applied for CC in Brisbane directly with Qantas International and it's in progress. Is this where you all applied of did you apply through a subsidiary? I see and read MAM. Is this a different company? Can you please shed some light on the avenues you apply for Qantas. Also how do you contact MAM or any other agents. Hope this makes sense. Congrats to those who have made it to GS. Cheers :)
