Qantas Cabin Crew 2023

[courts]

Hey - any MELB base confirmed for start date 12th FEB?

[Shazza90]

I also received this email.. however applied January 22, received questionnaire 6 months later and still waiting to be invited for an assessment day…

has anyone had a call or update last few days?? I called ID services on the 4th and was told my background checks are complete and my card will be printed in the next print list. So I’m unsure as haven’t heard back?

[Flight2022]

Can i ask, when did you do your assessment day and submit your security ID application?
Fingers crossed TA call you with the offer and allocate you a GS date.

[Olivia1]

I was there! Did my last part of the Medicals yesterday so pretty much on waiting mode now :rolleyes:

hey guys! I was there too! I’ve sent off everything and have been told that that they will be in touch early-mid January, have you guys had a call yet?

[Olivia1]

Hello everyone! I was in the Assessment day on the 1st December. I have completed everything and finished my medical on the 19th and results were sent to QF. I received the email on the 22nd December stating that they will be in contact early-mid January. Did anyone else receive this update also? And has anyone got the call yet?

[Shazza90]

Can i ask, when did you do your assessment day and submit your security ID application?
Fingers crossed TA call you with the offer and allocate you a GS date.
I was on the 29th November Assessment day, completed my swim certification on Thursday 1st Dec (a day after I received email stating I had progressed) and did my first aid cpr refresher on the Friday 2nd Dec emailed all documents on 2nd December, Xref came in on the 1st December and my references completed theirs, did medical on 6th December, finally got ID link sent on 12th December and completed it, it got reverted and resent back on 13th December, background checks all came back complete on 4th January however was told that the card won’t be sent for printing until they receive the print list? Which I think may be the golden call? But still awaiting.

What about you? What is your timeline like?

[esdalee]

If you go to Assessment Day, you will take an English test after the group activity. Anyone can share what kind of test it is? can you share the question?

Hi. It's a comprehension test. It's very straight forward. They give you a sheet with several paragraphs from the Cabin Crew Operations Manual. I recall it was about procedures for opening an aircraft door when the aircraft is at the terminal. There were five questions. The answers are in the paragraphs.

[1plus1is11]

Why are people so obsessed about the 'golden call' ​​​​​​?

I understand its a verbal confirmation that you've got excepted into training, therefore job offer but you could easily be sent home if you don't do well during the 6 weeks of initial training.

I would not be celebrating and start telling my friends, family, people on social media 'I've got the job' after the call.

What you need is the 'diamond handshake' at the graduation when you've passed all your exams and handed your little silver wings. That's when you've officially made it and got the job.

Be warned also, 6 months of probation applies so don't do anything foolish and think 'they won't sack me'. There have been a couple of girls who got terminated for posting inappropriate videos on social medias for the 'likes' and 'shares'.

This job is fun but don't be tempted by all the social media glams and be in it for the likes, Qantas is and will always be watching you especially if you're wearing their uniform.

[FFDAZZ]

Did anyone need there medical/medication verified by the QF doctor? If so how long did this process take?

[jadenjosh123]

hey guys! I was there too! I’ve sent off everything and have been told that that they will be in touch early-mid January, have you guys had a call yet?

Hi Olivia! Great to see you here! I was on that same day too but I don’t think we met. Anyway, we’re all in the same boat now seeing that you’ve lodge everything through I think any moment from we could expect to hear from them. Good luck! 😊🤞🤞

MY AD was November November 16th

I completed ASIC application, swim test, medical and submission of first aid and RSA to TA by December 6th.

I also got the updated email on December 22nd saying application is under review.

No phone and or email contact yet. Would love to get an update on my ASIC as i think that's what holds back an offer

[Yumm34]

Hey, does anyone remember or know what the pay was like for flight attendants at Qantas? I think they have mentioned it at the AD but I cannot remember :(

[Flight2022]

I think the Flight Attendant Association will have airline EBA/Fair Work agreements that you can review for base pay, allowances, etc

[Olivia1]

Hi Olivia! Great to see you here! I was on that same day too but I don’t think we met. Anyway, we’re all in the same boat now seeing that you’ve lodge everything through I think any moment from we could expect to hear from them. Good luck! 😊🤞🤞

Do you have an Instagram account that I can add you so we can keep in contact about it all?

[Hound123]

Hey, does anyone remember or know what the pay was like for flight attendants at Qantas? I think they have mentioned it at the AD but I cannot remember :(

The base annual salary is $48,000. Int'l crew get 28 day rosters and are paid for 120 hours - although usually rostered around 110 hours. Fortnightly pay is for 60 hours. The hourly rate is $30 per hour - so base pay is $1,800 (gross) per fortnight.

Overtime (after 12 hours), incidental travelling allowance, and meal allowance are additional. The destination, length of flight, and number of days away from home base will result in different amounts of pay each fortnight.

[gg_gop]

Hey Olivia1 & jadenjosh123 i was there on the 1st Dec as well! I did my medical last month and still waiting for a call from QF everyday! my insta is gg_gop if anyone in the same boat would like to keep in touch.

[jadenjosh123]

YEp it's heefer0210 🙂

[theskyismyhome]

Hey,

Yes did get an email today. The carrot on that stick is getting further and harder to bite now.

Dec = As 2022 comes to a close we wanted to reach out and provide you with an update......... your application remains under review and we will be in touch with you early in the New Year (early-mid January)..........

Key words are 'under review'
To me its
30 % yes
70 % no

They have a whole year and the application is still 'under review'

Anyhow, SYD as well here aswell​​​​

Hey have you heard any news yet? I agree, been a year now since I applied 😭

[Flighty12345]

Today is my 1 year anniversary since applying for a Melbourne position, and over six months since I completed the questionnaire (that I had about 2 days to do for no apparent reason). Currently still awaiting an assessment day if they ever hold them again. Anyone else is the same boat as me :(

[1plus1is11]

Hey have you heard any news yet? I agree, been a year now since I applied 😭

Hi there,

I have heard so many rumors hah....
There are planned schools in the first 3-6 months of 2023.
For the existing crew on active hold, there could be training courses around April.
More casual domestic crew (MAM) will be released once the new EBA is approved.

3 possible scenarios when TA contact later this month,
A. 'active hold', this means you won't need to reapply after 12 months and you still remain on 'active hold', for maybe another 60 years :rolleyes:
B. 'training date', if you're selected for training school they'll call and let you know otherwise you'll get an 'active hold' email.
C. 'priority', an email saying there is no ground school but you will be given priority ahead of others applying after you.

These are just rumors.... see what the outcomes will be :bored:

[Flight2022]

I understand the proposed EBA is being contested as the EBA is looking to reduce rest periods whilst increasing shifts to12/14 hours (minimal pay increase, reduction in entitlements and many more benefits reduced).

While i was at AD a head office team member mentioned there cabin crew staff numbers are much lower than expected which is why mass recruiting is occurring (not just at Qantas) and increase in ground schools.

If the proposed EBA was to be approved it could have negative impacts on recruiting talent and retaining current staff (especially long serving cabin crew).

I think its still a while off and features in the media a bit as well as unions and aviation association so it may be worth keeping on top of in-case there is a major shake up.

[Flossyb]

Hey Olivia1 & jadenjosh123 i was there on the 1st Dec as well! I did my medical last month and still waiting for a call from QF everyday! my insta is gg_gop if anyone in the same boat would like to keep in touch.

Hi… I’ve sent you a request on Instagram. I had my AD 23/11/22. Everything is now submitted, so just waiting to hear how

[SYK22]

Hi,

Today, I received an email fromTA team that I am unsuccessful with my application.
I have gone through all the steps up to medical stage.
I was advised that my ID security check is clear from TA team December last year.
Then, probably I was fail with the medical..?
Was anyone fail from the medical test?
Does anyone know if I can have feedback from TA team that why I received unsuccessful email at this stage?
I wish I could have second chance for the medical test.. cus I was not in 100% condition when I did my medical..

Hey when did you do your medical and where? It may not be because of medical I’ve been told they also review the points given for the group activity and your interview and based on that, that can be a reason for an unsuccessful apparently from what my friend has told me

I would “assume” (emphasise of assume) that it had something to do with the medical or something else. It doesn’t make sense that they would put you through to the next phase into security, medical and reference checking just to say you were unsuccessful - unless of course you failed to meet the criteria in one of the above three. Hopefully by reaching out to TA they can provide you with a reason. :)

Hey I have done my medical on 04/11/22 in North Sydney. I thought like, because I have been to the next stage after the AD, if I have clear ID check, provide all the required certificates and pass the medical then I would be successful. I did’t expect to receive unsuccessful email unless I fail from the medical. I wasn’t aware there are points from the AD. I thought if I go to the next stage after the AD then I passed the AD…

[Flygirl12345]

just curious to know if anyone has received a gs date commencing in March 2023? Wondering how far they have gotten through the active hold list :) I'm still waiting to touch base since the Xmas/NY break email
I was called today for gs commencing March 6 :) AD was on 29th November

[Flygirl12345]

Omg congrats how exciting!!! is this for Syd base and where is training held at?
thanks! Yes syd base and full training in Sydney!

Hi SYK22,

Who did the unsuccessful email come from? I’m starting to get a bit worried. I did my medical on 23/12 and the pathology bit on 29/12. I haven’t heard anything from either. Do we get any feedback on the medicals? My application still says ‘in progress’.
I heard you can apply to get the results of your medical directly through Bodycare.

[SYK22]

so sorry to hear that honestly :( I know its a tough journey, did you perhaps feel like there were components you struggled with during medicals?

Hi, I was struggling with lift up the 30kg & 20kg dumbbell and because I was too nervous at that time my hear rates were a bit higher than normal.. maybe it affects the result..?

[SYK22]

Hi, the email came from my workday. I logged onto my workday and I can see my application was moved to Inactive tab with complete sign.
Thanks for letting me know. I just sent an email to Bodycare to get the result.
Hope you have a golden call soon!

[letsflyB]

How long after the golden call did everyone recive there contracts?

Thanks so much! Fingers crossed. I know a guy who had a shoulder injury, got it fixed and was able to redo the medical. His application is ‘in progress’ now

[Flygirl12345]

I only got called on Friday and still haven’t received yet. Were you called for gs 6th March? Syd base?

[Shazza90]

I was called today for gs commencing March 6 :) AD was on 29th November
I’m worried now as my AD was 29th November afternoon session, completed everything within 5 days after progressing.

[Flygirl12345]

I’m worried now as my AD was 29th November afternoon session, completed everything within 5 days after progressing.
don’t be worried! My friend as at AD a week before me and is yet to be called. No one really knows what order they call it but it’ll happen for you :)

[SYK22]

Thanks so much! Fingers crossed. I know a guy who had a shoulder injury, got it fixed and was able to redo the medical. His application is ‘in progress’ now

Hey, was your friend’s application status was in ‘inactive’ then changed to ‘in progress’? Did he emailed TA team or ring them? I cannot find their contact number so I might be sending an email through them for redo the medical. Thank you so much for letting me know this!

[1plus1is11]

Today is my 1 year anniversary since applying for a Melbourne position, and over six months since I completed the questionnaire (that I had about 2 days to do for no apparent reason). Currently still awaiting an assessment day if they ever hold them again. Anyone else is the same boat as me :(

Hey there,

Are you an internal applying externally?
There's a few internal people who've applied externally and now they're like floating aimlessly in a forgetten universe somewhere... 😕

[Flossyb]

You’re welcome. I just checked - the first time he applied for domestic through an agency, so separate application. Have you tried contacting Qantas People Services? Not sure if they can help, but 1300 303 411 is their number.

[Flighty12345]

Hey there,

Just plain old external for me.. I have a lot of flying experience as well including wide body so really thought I had a good chance.
I know people who applied after me and made it to assessment days straight away too.
I can only think being previously employed by QF group might have an impact as I had to tick that box.

[br787]

Anyone else receive the notice period email? Hopefully its a sign that golden call is close
Yeah I got it too but don't think it translates to a golden call just yet, but still nice to hear something from them!

Hey,

Right, well I do know someone who previously worked for Qantas (as a contractor) and their application is floating around in the forgotten universe aswell. 🙄

Usually its quite hard getting back in after you left the company, others managed to come back via third party such as MAM or Altara then apply internally again for QD or QCCA
​

Internally they make you wait for atleast several thousand years ⏳😴💤 as they have a long list of transfer which they need to get through, anyhow off topic but yeah... don't feel disheartened no news is good news in this thousand years waiting game 🤪

Some interesting rumours there! 🤔 Are you MAM? Which part of the Qantas Group do you fall into? I know of some internals that have received a training date for Syd base for end of Jan!

I thought my application would disappear after the one year mark but its still showing in progress so hopefully the no news is good news is true!

[Flight2022]

I recently received my ground school date.
TA is hoping to get contracts out this week.
They mentioned they are very busy working through ground school allocations for successful candidates.

All up my timeframe from application to GS will be 3.5 months.

[EkAdelaide]

Hi everyone,

I am attending the AD in Sydney on 2/2/2023 and I am preparing my ID documents.

I’ve just found out that my original citizenship certificate is overseas. I am trying to get it posted to me urgently, however in the event it doesn’t reach me in time, I was wondering if anyone who’s been to an AD had a similar issue?

[abbeyD123]

Loving the content provided in this thread! Thank you all!

Anyone currently in the role that can speak to the pros and cons of the cabin crew international position?

I'm in the final stages of recruitment and it's always been a dream job but with the industry and company changes over the years, I wonder if it's all it's cracked up to be?

Keen to see some rosters, hear more about layover details (apparently most are now only 24 hours!), love/ hate experiences of the in-flight services, fatigue management, travel perks, careers progression.

[EkAdelaide]

hi, this happened to me too and I was able to get it sighted and signed the week after when I had it with me. Not sure if that is still the case for upcoming ADs as I did mine a year ago

Thank you! Did you have to go back to head office to get it sighted & signed? I think I might email TA prior to the AD to let them know as a courtesy.

Hi,

​​​​​​If you are employed by Maurice be prepared to be held up, again. The union is not giving up their appeal and final decision is expected to be made by the commissioner around April.

Other internals from other work groups are free to cross over because they are not caught in limbo by the EBA.

I hope that she'd some lights and you can probably work out which workgroup I'm under 🤫

Yes yes I can. Although that is not entirely true, some internals that I know have been given start dates for training and they are caught in limbo with EBAs as well. Which is why it’s becoming even more frustrating 🤔 I’d be happy to talk more privately about this, feel free to DM me haha

I would also like to know what the layover times are like. Obviously it’ll differ from LA/Toronto - Tokyo/Singapore but is it like 72 hours in LA and 24 hours in Tokyo?

[Skiesthedream]

Can someone pls advise what the notice period email was?

I’m internal melb and didn’t receive anything
thank you :)

[Dreamergirl]

It was just an email asking us to supply our notice period for ground school dates! It specifically stated in the email that it was not an offer of employment but I think they are sussing out numbers :'( I got the same email back in November and advised less than 7 days and did not hear anything back yet multiple people I knew got offered MEL GS for Feb. Wish I knew how they select for ground schools :(

ah thank you. I guess that makes sense why us internals didn’t get it, as we don’t have a notice period as same employer. They decided when we go 🤣 or don’t go

[Flight2022]

Are you starting in Feb or March?

im starting February GS

I also received the noticed period email and was called the same day I responded with my commencement date.
I have a short notice period so it’s possible those who can start in the next 1-3 week will get a call for Feb schools

[Flygirl12345]

Hey guys, how long did people wait to receive their contracts?

[1plus1is11]

Yes yes I can. Although that is not entirely true, some internals that I know have been given start dates for training and they are caught in limbo with EBAs as well. Which is why it’s becoming even more frustrating 🤔 I’d be happy to talk more privately about this, feel free to DM me haha


Hi,

Interesting.... are these people with starting dates casuals or full timers and I'm guessing they are applying for Syd? They should send something out tomorrow as they did say early to mid Jan.
I think we all know what they'll say in the email 😆

[1plus1is11]

Hi,

Time at destination varies (SYD-LAX) it can be around 33 hrs for a 4 days trip or 63 hrs for a 5 days trip. Japan is around 39 hrs.

If you asking about multiple destinations trip like you stated 'LA/Toronto - Tokyo/Singapore'
These don't exist.

Do you have location examples - Asia, Europe, NZ ? Would love to know more!

Do you feel like it's often enough or are you always tired? :)

😃 lots of internals have commenced QCCC training in both SYD and MEL, however permanent Qantas employees from Jetstar, Qantas Ground and QantasLink. No MAM or Altaras as of yet. Hope this helps

I'm interested to know about the Syd-Perth-Rome flight too. It seems really long, and im wondering how the crew manage to get enough rest. Does anyone know any cabin crew who have done this one and what the layover/rest times are? Thank you in advance ♥️

😉 The LHR base London crew will apparently doing FCO ROME when they return, Rome will be built in to a LHR perth pattern.

LHR-PER-FCO-PER-LHR. It won’t be operating with AUS based crew. The first seasonal ROMEs were operated by AUS based crew however.

Are there any other destinations that AUS based crew will not operate? Sad to hear that Rome is done by London crew :(

Hi,

Well destinations depends on seasons and aircraft types.
A330 (out of Sydney) = Bali, Jakarta, Manila, Singapore, Seoul, Hanada, Bangalore, Auckland
B787 (out of Sydney) = Los Angeles, Vancouver, Johannesburg, Dallas Fort Worth
A380 (out of Sydney) Dallas Fort Worth, Los Angeles, Singapore

You can count Europe out, these will be operated by UK crew by the time you start flying.
If you wanna go Rome and Paris out of Sydney you might need to wait for few years when project sunrise commences.

I don't do these long flights, on these wide bodied aircrafts there are dedicated crew rests (flat beds, except A330) so it's not like you will be up and flying whole 12+ hours.
You will get 1st and 2nd breaks, all up about 4-6 hours, so you will get a chance to have a sleep/rest during the flight.

You either will feel very tired or energised when you first start flying because its all new and exciting but eventually it will be repetitive and you just wanna stay in hotel room and rest, all comes down to the individuals. Everybody handles fatigue differently.

😃 lots of internals have commenced QCCC training in both SYD and MEL, however permanent Qantas employees from Jetstar, Qantas Ground and QantasLink. No MAM or Altaras as of yet. Hope this helps


Hi,

I thought so, the contingent workers are the last to go 😆

[debbieitaly]

Hey guys I just wanted to check on the Sydney-Perth-Rome flight. I was told Sydeny-based crew do this one. Are we sure UK-based crew currently operate this?

[QFFLYER22]

😉 Hi debbieitaly

It’s currently not operating, Rome is only seasonal, AUS crew operated the services in 2022 season, however word on the street the next season it will be operated with London Crew QFCCUK, it must be more economical to use a LHR 787 crew as they are in Perth, rather than an east coast based crew, not all Qantas trips are operated by Australian crew, QFCCUK crew operate London - Perth, London - Singapore
NZ Jetconnect crew operate Brisbane- LA and flights to Delhi as well as hold positions on all Qantas Long Haul flights. I would not expect you will find your self operational on a ROME Service anytime soon.

Hi everyone!

Has anyone else received an email last about applying to Jetstar and that you are in the “active hold pool”?

Does that means that we won’t get a call pretty much but with nicer words?

[Croissant2]

I got that email to and don’t know what to make of it. My application still states “in progress” on workday 😓

[1plus1is11]

Hi,

Talent acquisition haven't got much to inform, EBA needs to be certified so hiring can begin and people on hold can be released.

FAAA is fighting it to the end even it looks very likely it will get certified. If they didn't challange it in the first place, people would have been endorsed and out flying by now.

TA is still waiting for release date so they can assign training dates, don't expect anything until this drama is resolved.

[debbieitaly]

Hi everyone!

Yep, I got that email too. And that was after receiving about 4 calls fromTA the week before about getting my alcohol amd drug test redone so it's not expired before potential commencement date. She even said in the last phone call "everything is perfect now and hopefully the next call you receive from us will be a job offer". Then I see they've made job offers to people since that phone call and then I received the email regarding jetstar. Wow, how disheartening to know they've decided I'm more suited to jetstar. Very sad 😔 😪

[Flighty12345]

What bases are they asking about for Jetstar? Is it just Sydney or Melbourne as well?

[QFFLYER22]

They have had 4 International GS commence each week back to back since about September, together Qantas Domestic Altara GS, so many new Qantas Cabin Crew, word is that the ground schools are slowing down now, as they have active applications it’s better to offer them employment with subsidiaries rather than a no / unsuccessful email. They have done this in the past as well. Hence why they have offered Jetstar roles, it’s not that you’re not good enough for Qantas it’s just timing has not aligned.

[1plus1is11]

.........I haven’t submitted my response yet, I was tempted to click interested just to be able to undergo training and have a job as I put everything on hold, thinking I would be training in Jan/Feb, as Qantas mentioned in my AD in October if we were successful.

But it seems like working for Jetstar would mean an even longer wait for a transfer to Qantas?..... .


Hi,

I say don't do it.
It might be tempting but believe me, applying internally is not easy. You will be put on hold for months and months and months and many more months.
​​​​​​
If you really want to fly, do it with other airlines. Airlines with no association with Qantas.

Just say if you're employed by Bonza for 3 months and you go applying again for Qantas international, you will go through pretty fast where as if you work for Jetstar for 3 months you won't be able to apply until you've been in your role for atleast 12 months and there's the uncertainty of waiting for a training date so you possibly could be looking at 24 months...

Good thing come to those who wait, don't do it otherwise you will be in the same situation like alot of us are in right now.

[FFDAZZ]

I didn’t receive any email regarding jetstar. I redid my medicals last monday as it had lapsed and haven’t heard anything since the notice period email.. hopefully soon though
How long does it take for medicals to lapse ?

[Croissant2]

i believe its 90 days?? But they didn’t tell me til just over 3months

did you have to pay the $300 or $150 again? 🥴

[Flossyb]

oh amazing!! Was it 6th March start date??

He thinks first week of March, but hasn’t had a contract sent as yet.

[Wallingwhales]

Have any JQ altara crew successfully applied and been accepted?

[Spice5]

Hey, Did anyone attend the assessment day in Sydney today? If so, how was it... Did they talk about how long until a potential ground school if successful?

Hey, i was in the 9am AD yesterday, if all checks and everything is comleted in time the next available date is in April sometime!

I already reciced my email that I've been progressed to the next stage from there, apparently theyre moving through applicants pretty quickly! They're hiring around 1000 international FA this year! All year round they will have groud schools going!

[Bronte86]

It’s good to hear they are still actively recruitment tho. I thought they stopped assessment days so the above posts are reassuring.
The last communication I got was that I’ve cleared everything and they’ll be in touch when they allocate a GS… that was about 3wks ago 🥴
I guess the waiting game continues….

Omgosh!! How exciting!! When was your AD? Mine was 23/11 and still haven’t heard anything 😫 Is your ASIC fully approved? I haven’t heard about mine yet, so not sure if this might be the holdup. Hoping it’s nothing else

My AD was on the 16th of November. Yes my ASIC is fully approved, it took about 1 week. I called TA to follow-up on how mine was going, they're always very helpful. I definitely recommend giving them a buzz just to get an indication of how everything is travelling with your application and to put your mind at rest. Good luck xx

I also speak italian but my mother tongue is spanish, could you tell me how do you get in “certified”? good luck and once again! congratulazioni!!!

Does anyone have any news or know anything in regards to internals, specifically team Jetstar/altara going over to QCCA?

[Olivia1]

Hello everyone, has anyone else had the call recently? I understand they are allocating more schools, however I am very confused at how this all works

Completed everything, asic is cleared and just feeling so anxious waiting for this call 😔 Really hoping it is very soon

[EkAdelaide]

Hi all,

Got my medical scheduled for Friday and thought I’d do a practice run of a few things in the gym.

My heart rate on the 3 min step test was higher than I expected and is deemed ‘poor’ based on what articles say. I was pretty surprised as I didn’t feel winded whatsoever, and I go to the gym regularly. I could only think it’s the anxiety of the situation, I’ve been pretty anxious since the AD lol. I also did it straight after a gym session, maybe I should try again after a long rest.

Anyone have experience with a poor result in this area of the medical? I was able to complete everything else pretty comfortably.

This is just my personal view.

I think they look at the medical report holistically, and something like heart rate (on its own) would not be a reason to reject someone, unless of course it was extraordinarily high and there were signs of struggle during the exercise.

Of course there are some components which would be a fail on its own e.g. failing alcohol or drug test. But I know many people who were not perfect in one area, but OVERALL they could display they could undertake the cabin crew role.

If they have concerns, they may contact you for a second opinion/further clarification. For example, I know people who struggled with the hearing test or blood pressure, but were able to get through after obtaining additional information.

Interested to hear other people's thoughts / experiences on this.

[Mel2022QF]

Re the medical:

Agree with EKAdelaide that they would be looking at our overall result, of course we need to complete the tasks.

Different Bodycare will likely have slightly different equipment like every gym does but the equipment shouldn't make any difference overall to how you get on. Mine used a barbell for the overhead push and the floor to waist 32kg lift it was a gym box with a bunch of weights in it.

I found the medical was nerve-wracking, despite the preparation work I'd been doing in the gym, and I regularly train and lift weights.

I was worried about my blood pressure and heart rate going into the medical, I measure it all the time and it's normally optimal/normal but the anxiety of the medical was showing high results when I would measure it at home that week in anticipation.

To keep your heart rate down I suggest go into the medical well rested, no caffeine in the system. Ask them if your resting BP/Heart rate shows high results if they don't say anything, they might give you an indication and if it is tell them you're anxious, it's totally understandable in context.

With the step test, I imagine that they would want to see your heart rate at the beginning and the end and not see that there was a significant increase in those 3 mins. My advice is focus on your breathing and take it calmly. What wouldn't be good is is your heart rate shoots up quickly.

Good luck all, I know the medical can be tough because it's that final hurdle, but do what you can to prepare beforehand and big breaths during you'll be fine ;)

[Sus04]

I had AD in Nov 2022. I got a call in Jan from TA to say I had completed everything, medical and ASIC and now in the Active Hold pool. Still waiting for that phone call 🤞

[EkAdelaide]

Quick question guys.

When you’ve emailed your certificates to TA, did you get an auto-response confirming receipt of your email?

I ask because I got an auto-response when I sent my first certificate, but when I emailed the other two, I didn’t get the same auto-response, and just hoping it hasn’t gone missing in cyber space!

[Js_s]

I am on the stage of getting IDcard , anyone has an idea how long nornally does it take?

[Skiesthedream]

Finally got rejected for Melbourne base today after applying in January 22 😢 guess they don’t need any more experienced flyers joining them..don’t understand why I couldn’t even make it to an assessment day.
I’ll try again on my 4th attempt next time.
hope one day I will get to fly with you lucky ones 🤞🏻


so sorry you had to wait that long for that email xx wishing you all the best for next time

I see, so I'm guessing you're team Jetstar not Altara... I'm in the SH workgroup.
A mate of mine told me his friend from Jetstar got ground school, this was before Christmas.
I thought you guys would be easier to be released since Altara hires 24/7.

Anyhow, good news is there is no expiry date on the application so be strong and hang in there 💪

Hey! No I’m altara, but we can apply as internals now as altara hire for QF (if that makes sense?) from what I heard we need to be endorsed by our manager and then wait for an offer. But also need to hire more team before we are able to cross over. Fingers crossed for April 💫✈️

[FL23]

Hi FL23,

Can I ask when you submitted your application? I applied about a week ago and completed the questionnaire but yet to hear anything back?

Thanks!

I applied late December and did my AI questionnaire on 5Jan. Informed to be progressed by an email on 11Jan which advised that an assessment booking email will come as soon as the next assessment days are available. AD email came on 20Jan with a link to book a time slot on 2Feb or 14Feb. Attended my AD on 14Feb 9am, got my email of progression, Xref etc. the next day’s late night. Don’t worry. No news tends to be good news, as it looks like rejection emails sent out much faster than successful emails. Once receiving the link you’ll need to book your assessment asap as the slots are limited. Otherwise you’ll have to wait for the next ones. Good luck!

There would be a huge pool of people internally ranging from ground to office, crew to customer support roles so I'm guessing everyone are at different stages.

Do you get your overnight allowance during GS if you’re Melb based training in Sydney or Sydney based training in Abu Dhabi?

Seems like the last couple of people who got the call were from 23/11 and 24/11 AD’s, just trying to get a sense of where they’re up to :)

Also do we have an idea on average number of people who are progressed after an AD? Obviously it will vary but just a rough estimate.

Hey EKAdelaide, I was also on the 1/12 AD and waiting on the call as well, I have hope it is very soon :)

Hi,
This email was sent to contingent crew, we applied back in Jan 2022.
Sydney is the priority at the moment, Melbourne won't have much movement internally Im guessing that's why it's at snail's pace.
I applied for the base with high priority.
Which area of the business are you in?
It seems Jetstar/Alatra & MAM crew are all being held up.

Hi all,

Any other SYD basers receive an email to transfer to the MEL holding pool and endeavour to provide 6 weeks notice prior GS?
I have no opinions about it, but just curious because I didn’t receive any emails earlier regarding applying to Jetstar.

Yes, received the Melbourne email and previously received the Jetstar one also. Hoping this means some more Syd basers will be notified for GS soon🤞

well if that’s true that’s frustrating for people like me who were waiting months and months for Melbourne assessment days only to be told no more recruitment happening, application withdrawn. If I’d known that I would have reapplied for SYD months ago.

[Koko90]

I’ve heard of some altara crew being contacted for GS in May/June. Does anyone know if altara can hold you from going over to QF like JQ does?

hi Olivia, it’s for SYD base. Are you internal too?

This is extremely confusing with how this all works, I’m external and just hanging around waiting to start

Hey everyone!

I made a post at the beginning of Feb saying that I was still on hold and was offered Jetstar. I ended up saying no to the offer and last week I got a call telling me I’m through to training on the 27th of March! Anyone else starting GS in Sydney on that date?

Update: I sorted everything for my US visa eventually…😅 the process is a pain but pretty happy it’s all sorted now! Good luck to everyone else if you need any help shoot me a message!

I’ve uploaded everything I need to Workday and applied for my US visa but I’m struggling with the payment. I was wondering if anyone else had that issue? It won’t let me pay online and I can’t view the form needed for AusPost. Does anyone have the C1D1 payment form for Auspost payment in person, or know how I can get it? I’m also going to ask my Qantas TA rep but I thought I’d ask here as well.

If so it would be a great help! Thanks 😊
Hi AA1997! congratulations! When did you do your AD?

[AA1997]

Hey Jayden thank you! I did my AD on the 8th of November.

[TrolleyD]

Do you get your overnight allowance during GS if you’re Melb based training in Sydney or Sydney based training in Abu Dhabi?

Yes you do.
MLB base training in SYD will get an upfront allowance of around 6.5K. Abu Dhabi is 16K

[everythingcrossed]

Has anyone heard anything since their reference checks this year?

[Kylie walker]

Does anyone know when we receive the offer of employment email? Is it after GS? Thanks

yes after you got your golden called then you’ll received the offer.

[Wooj]

Hi Eminthesky! Just wondering, did you get the call from TA? (for GS or any updates)

[Eminthesky]

Hi Eminthesky! Just wondering, did you get the call from TA? (for GS or any updates)
Hi Wooj,

No I haven’t received anymore updates

[Kayd23]

Neither have I. I think we will have to wait at least a couple more weeks. I emailed TA to check if everything has been cleared i.e. security check and medical but I haven't received a response. Has anyone else reached out to TA about the application recently?

yes hopefully we’d hear something around beginning of May, which is our month 2 mark.

please keep us posted Kayd23.

[Kayd23]

I'll keep everyone posted! Are you internal or external?

[Eminthesky]

I’m external.
what about you? Were you there in the morning or afternoon on 7th March?

[Kayd23]

Also external. I was in the morning session. Were you in the morning or afternoon session? I agree I think if we are successfull we'll hear something in May - 2 month-ish mark

[Eminthesky]

That’s great news, Congratulations!!!
Ive just been asked to complete my ID for asic. No medical yet.

[Shellou131]

HI, I attended AD on March 7th and I have not heard anything apart from the email that they apologise for the delay and that my application is still under consideration. Super excited to hear from them!!

[everythingcrossed]

Oooh I was there 7th of March as well - so maybe no one has heard anything ?

[Kayd23]

Hey Shellou, I think you sent me a private message a week ago but I couldn't reply because your inbox was full (or it might have been someone else because I deleted it as we can only have 1 message in there at a time). Anyways, I don't think we will get a response for a week or 2 weeks minimum. I'm also excited - hopefully all goes well with everyone. Patience and positive thinking :)

[everythingcrossed]

Has anyone that was at the AD on the 7th of March got a GS date yet?

[Shellou131]

No, I have not heard anything since the email sating that the process is taking longer than expected. Hopefully I hear something soon!

[Absonthisforum]

Yep, I have finished everytheverythhave received the two emails saying apologies that the process is taking longer than expected. So hopefully just waiting on a GS date.

[everythingcrossed]

So they sent out another email today - check your in boxes!

[Kylie walker]

thanks Eveeythingcrossed, I’ll check myworkday..

[naa187]

Hi, Can anyone give me an idea on what comes next?? AD done, First Aid, RSA and Swim Certificates requested and sent, References requested and both done, Request for Security ID submitted. Does the medical get done after the Security ID comes Back??? And then GS dates after that if all good??? Thanks for any advice :))

[Kayd23]

Hi. What position are you applying for i.e. International/Domestic and is it with QANTAS directly or a hiring company like Atlara?

After the security check you will recieve an email and text message asking you to book your medical (body care and drug test from a pathology lab). After all the processes have been cleared (can take many months) and a ground school starts with space you will be offered a position. However, at the moment, international cabin crew positions have been told that ground schools will start at the end of the year. Word of advice, once you complete all steps, just keep yourself busy until you get the golden call - as waiting is apparently the hardest part. (I'm still waiting with my AD early March this year).

Also this page is used more often with lots of advice and tips already discussed - https://www.pprune.org/cabin-crew-wannabes/644916-qantas-international-cabin-crew-recruitment-2022-a.html

Thank you. I am Qantas Domestic. At my AD the interviewer said "be ready cause it will now move quite quickly now". I guess my idea of quick is probably a little different to theirs

thanks heaps … i think i have finally completed everything now as yesterday i had my drug and alcohol test and obviously i was clear,

i hope i hear back soon for GS

[Mila.C]

Same as with me, I completed everything (ASIC application, medical, swimming, documents) in the first 2 weeks of hearing back, then recently was asked to do the drug and alcohol screening, which I did at the start of the week. I really hope they send through invitations to ground school soon, I can't wait! Maybe they're just waiting to confirm numbers or something?

I take it this is good news, but what on earth does current notice mean?

[Mila.C]

I take it this is good news, but what on earth does current notice mean?

It's how much time you need to give your work to tell them that you're quitting. I put in a week or less because I'm on casual and my contract only requires me to give an hour minimum. Pretty sure most work places require 2 weeks notice though.

Hi All,
Just want to share my timeline with you all, I am in the same boat as you guys Milla and Didi.
ADL Base MAM Casual role
AD: 6/6
Ask to submit Certificates (1st aid, swimming and RSA): 7/6
Reference check: 8/6
Background check (ASIC): 14/6
Pre-employment check: 21/6
D&A test: 11/7
Notice period email: 18/7

At my AD I did advise that I have booked a holiday coming up in OCT. When I received the notice period email I emailed and double confirm that I am unavailable in OCT, Today I just checked when my ground school will start and they told me I will not get an offer until after my holiday.
I would like to know if you guys have any updates yet let me know when your ground school start.

Also, is anyone working under MAM contract? What are their roster, pay, and benefits like, is this usually a stepping stone or?

[Didi_]

I am in honest disbelief i finally got the golden call last week for GS for the 16/08.

Although my resignation will be on Monday with my current employer it only gives me one day to do my online classes and put sone business look’s together.
