Hey guys! Happy 2024! Thank god I found this thread randomly and wanted to ask a question.

I don’t know if anyone remembers but a while back we got sent an email asking if we wanted to swap bases. Out of desperation I guess you could call it I swapped from my original Sydney to Melbourne based thinking Melb base would be faster to get into a ground school. My circumstances have changed since then and I’d prefer to be back in Sydney pool. I wanted to ask for advice if it’s worth emailing to ask if I could be put back in the Sydney pool or would it just basically be putting me back to the end of the line or is it worth just waiting till after ground school?

I’m not too fussed as I don’t want it to hinder my application but just wanted some insight if anyone had any! Thank u <3 and good luck to everyone around!!!

haven’t heard anything still … I know this thread says international but did anyone apply for Brisbane domestic last year ? Had my AD in May. Through to next stage the next day. Did my swim test, RSA, first aid. They emailed in July saying no positions till 2024. Said I was happy to wait etc. had a few emails here and there about Jetstar but was ultimately told I’m too short for Jetstar .. (had to do an extra height test for Qantas and that was fine). And then got email in dec saying would hear an update by mid jan. Crossing fingers and toes for a GS date even if it’s like June or July. Anything would be great eep

Is this for Melb Intentional?
I went to AD in June. I’ve done my ASIC to. Have you been asked to supply First Aid Yet or Medical?
I was told mid 2024 to.. unfortunately. They sent an email yesterday apologising it’s taking a long time. It will be a year mark if school rolls around in June. Which is fine.. but I haven’t been booking any holidays because I don’t want to miss out on school lol & I think you can’t take time off for 6 months once starting.

Hi there, I'm waiting for a ground school date, I had my AD in March in SYD, completed everything in April. I have had updates every few months apologising for the delay in recruitment, latest stating GS will be mid 2024 and that they will provide another update in JAN. I'm assuming the update was/will be for people who have not attented an assessment day yet. It is just a matter of time, from what I've been told by many, it's a slow recruitment process and some applicants wait longer than others. Some applicants have waited 1.5 years to get a ground school date.

Hello,

COMMUTERS accommodation:

I know that post might not be much of relevance now but I did rent a great granny flat near by the training facility in Sydney of which I am moving out end of February2024.

This furnished apartment comes with cordless vacuum cleaner, DC silent 15 speed fan (no AC in flat), basic cooking utensils, kitchen (new fridge, microwave, oven, kettle, toaster). Washing machine can be shared depending on the arrangement of the nice and warming family who lives there. Pool usage and internet included and no extra cost. I have paid 560 per week for a nice quiet learning experience during ground school where I also get privacy similar to your own apartment. Maybe they are willing to negotiate since you are going to be Qantas crew... yayyyy

Below here are the photos of the place and please feel free to reach out if you have any further question in regards to that or even ground school which I have completed in December 2023.

(i do have more photos)

I’ve been waiting since Feb 2023.. been told every month to “thanks for your patience” have done 2 CPR’s. And was told there are ground school going thru but their prioritizing language speakers, and everybody else is on hold. But then told that they’re gonna open up assessment days in April. So I’m completely confused as well. Hey guys anyone here have their interview day in june and yet to recieve GS dates?

Does AD in April mean second language speaker AD?

I've applied for international crew secondary language speaker. Will attend AD in mel next month. Getting nervous now😖😖😖
hope to get some advice here. Many thanks!!!For AD, I made sure I dressed professionally/smart. I did my research on QANTAS, I was friendly to other candidates and made sure I looked welcoming, approachable and a team player when I was in group activities. The day is sorted by rotations, an introduction video, a 1-1 interview, a height test and identification check, 1 or 2 group activities, a comprehensive English standard test and a time to ask questions to current staff about their role. Remember they are assessing you from the start to end.

They should send an email about the documents you need to bring i.e. ID, print outs etc. If successful, you will receive an email/text a few days later stating you have progressed to the next stage. There are several stages, reference check, CPR, swim test, ASICS check and medical and then once that is finished you will wait for a GS date (the stage I am at). Good luck everyone!

Try not to loose hope, it's a slow recruitment process. It will happen when the time comes. The candidates about to attend an AD will have to wait for a GS date too. TA said updates in mid 2024 (but hopefully it will be sooner). Some people wait 1.5 years for a GS date, of course its not ideal but it's just the nature of QANTAS and the aviation industry.

every time I see my friends or family they asked what’s going on and agree a year is a long time to put your life on hold for a job that is not guaranteed. I’m missing out on group trips amongst other things to, so I understand your frustration. Hopefully not to much longer :)

Hi there! Are there any applicants here who have applied for JetConnect/Auckland base?
I'm curious if the hiring delays in Auckland are as severe as they are in Australia.
A friend currently working in Australia strongly advised me to quit my job and not apply, but unfortunately, I've already resigned!
If I submit my application now, is it possible to have a training date in April assuming I successfully complete all the interview processes?
I've heard that it takes several months after the final interview to receive notification of the final list results. Is this also true?
I find Qantas' procedures and processes to be overly slow and complicated.:bored:

It is a long time to put life on hold I agree. I decided a 6 or so months ago to start applying for a new temporary job for a change and so I can be more patient until the golden call. I started a new job at the hospital and now time is flying by. Maybe this idea might help others with the waiting process! Stay occupied, busy and maybe try something new in the mean time!

The swim test is before GS, you are to swim 50 meters (olympic size swimming pool) fully clothed and witnessed by a lifeguard at your local pool. They sign a paper saying they witnessed it.

You send that document to TA afterwards. And there is more swimmingly in GS.

I’ve done the swim competency test twice and it wasn’t fully clothed. The paperwork doesn’t state to be fully clothed during the hiring process. (However you will be required to in GS)

You are also required to tread water for 3
minutes straight.

I wasn’t fully clothed (as the form doesn’t state you need to be fully clothed, and most swimming centres won’t allow it) - but in GS you’ll be given a full-body jumpsuit which you wear in the water (no shoes required).

Most of the swimming in GS is with life jacket on, but there’s a short component where you are required to swim the length of the pool (less than 50m) with no life jacket & you’ll be asked to rescue your partner on the way back.

Hope this helps :)

Thanks for sharing, I'm keen to hear from another stream of updates so I applied to join it!

I have a friend who is an International FA now (he had the same AD as me last year) and he said there are four GS in the next four months starting in March. So here's hoping the golden call for GS comes soon for us, especially those who have been waiting for eternity haha.

Omg same. I’m so confused. I’ve been waiting since February 2023 for a ground school day. I get they want some language speakers but then what are they doing us we’ve all been waiting a year for a ground school. I’ve put my whole life on hold. Every time I’ve emailed I haven’t received anything that would indicate a ground school for the people who have been waiting 12months are getting one soon. I’m legit so stressed about this whole thing what is going on!!! 😭😭😭😭

Hello everyone,
I wish I had some insight to give but I can't help.
I applied and got in 30 years ago and it took 10 months then. Just grateful to be still in the race!
Lots pieces to this puzzle I am assuming- internals? ex crew who took covid packages returning? language speakers? and extra aircraft would be great!
Hang in there and try to distract yourself with something pleasant you have been wanting to do.
That is the advice I keep giving myself for what it is worth!! No news is good news and I just keep thinking they told us to expect mid 2024 for anything to happen.
Have a great week and lets keep each other company!!

Emstar
8th Mar 2024, 00:55
Any updates from language speaker AD ? Summary of what is expected currently? Also with the medical, how long is it valid for before you need to do a new one?

St John Ambulance just send a reminder to refresh my CPR but as you need to have 6 months validity on your CPR for QF, I think I might wait rather than go to all the extra cost and time if we are not sure of timelines.

Have a lovely weekend and hang in there!

From what I’ve seen, there was an email sent 3 days ago to those that completed an AD and were asked to complete their ASICs, references, AOD and First Aid + CPR as anticipated ground schools were coming up. But I think when they say coming up that’s like long months ahead knowing QF.

I agree, when it happens it will happen. I’ve started a new job in hopes to make the time go faster and build up some savings. We’ve gotten this far, that is an achievement in itself. My St John’s CPR also has expired too but I won’t be doing it again until there’s a confirmed date or a email update. Fingers crossed we hear some good news soon!

What is the longest we know of, that someone has waited for & been given a ground school?

I feel like after 1 year everything would be invalid, referees, medical etc

Not sure what the longest time has been. I was 10 months last time I flew but someone else around the same time took 18 months. But that was from application to ground school.

It has been 15 months for me and still no AD. You all seem to have had ADs last year? Just hanging in there!

Yes I do wonder what will happen to Bodycare medical, reference checks etc. I know my CPR needs redoing but don’t want to waste doing it if I don’t proceed further??

My friend Kalinda from TA has just confirmed that no more ground schools planned until early 2025

All planned ground schools this year have people already endorsed and they have been contacted (mostly language speakers, as they are valuable for the company). Only silver lining if people drop out from these ground schools

Supplier delays and supply chain issues, including maintenance workforce and hangar availability, have impacted the plans for routine heavy maintenance and cabin upgrades on some A380 aircraft. As a result of the delays in A380 aircraft returning to service, there is a surplus of cabin crew and they want crew to go on leave. Challenging year ahead.

I have been waiting since May 2021 for a ground school, I have been on active hold since then. Stay strong and no news is good news!!:ok:

Thanks for that detailed reply, Lucytheflighty. I'm in the active hold, talent pool as well since last march! The last correspondence I received was" you will be contacted before mid-January"!!! For an update. It's so frustrating. They must have a vast pool of CC wannabes. The lack of communication is appalling, though coming from a company whose main focus is communication. It's rude of them to keep everyone wondering if they've been forgotten, especially knowing the effort put in by candidates to make it this far.

Still waiting for an assessment day. I have now received 10 'We wish to apologise that the recruitment process for Qantas International Cabin Crew blah blah' emails since.
Most disorganised recruitment system I've ever encountered.

Hello Flighty12345,

Yes I am in the same situation. My husband has leave due in the coming months ( not his choice of dates but allocated to him) and we want to go overseas. Just going ahead with our plans as who knows how long this process will be?

Hang in there. I do "get it".

Syd base, which base did you apply? Are you a language speaker and are you just waiting for GS? Have you done all the requirements process?

Did anyone get an email yesterday? Saying the they won’t be needing new crew at the moment because of other factors as they expected to hire new crew (language speakers) this year and the GS would going to be approx around 2025.
Apparently because of the crew coming back and other internal applicants they prioritised.

My friend who is an internal applicant and a language speaker got her golden call 2 days ago and will start around June.

Any updates from others? Thank you

Hi missfa,

I went to the AD on February as a language speaker and received the same email yesterday as well.

When was your friend’s AD ?

My friend is already a domestic cabin crew and only needs a conversion course for long haul crew.
