every applicant has to have his/her application form signed by their respective manager.
You will find that is a standard step of any internal job application anywhere in the Qantas Group.

yeah but it's new to L/H cabin crew.I dunno what the fuss is about because the managers should know who goes for the jacket by the time the interviews are held.

Mate i reckon it's just to justify their jobs because what are they going to do when you tell them?

Lusley should be asking the managers at their little talk fests whether the person is good enough or not.all it does mate is to add another layer of BS to the process and make them feel good about themselves.

The whole sense of URGENCY around this process again smacks of the "usual" coming up,ie:
  1. Whats the big rush?,......one week to express interest then its bang assessment centre , Womp....interview.
  2. Who are doing the assessments?.......Cabin Crew Managers, CSM's, Trainers?
  3. What do the training courses look like after 5 years. ? Has anyone bothered to dust off the manuals to see whats inside. Just another rehash of same old same old.......again no time for any changes to bring us up to speed with "dynamic" training methods.
  4. Just Wham Bam ....Thankyou Mam........"Now get out and fix those IFE's--------and don't forget to remind BFA's to carry Waiters Cloths"!!!!.........oh pleeeeaseeeeee.
Here we go again

I love working for a Company with a Strategic Plan.

Some here would say I am too negative but this incompetence just never fails to amaze me.Then again I am crew and not in the office.

What happens if you have been waiting for this for years and you happen to be away on LSL or annual holidays at the moment and come home and find out that you've missed it.

Stubby they do have a strategic plan it's just that no one knows what it is.

Maybe it's a ploy in case there might be someone left, still "engaged".

This lot really do redefine the word, "incompetence".

Boys and Girls
i reckon the company wants to give us as little time as possible to apply so they can put their own mates in.

I mean out of all the crew who are the most likely to be on Long Service and not know about the job?Thats right the senior crew and they are the last ones they want in the job.

Considering a majority of crew now have greater than 10 years service, your theory really is pathetic.

There is nothing new about short notice for such things in our company.
Some people were given 2 days notice to decide if they wanted the job in the first place.

Anyway, perhaps the company prefers to promote people that keep their fingers on the pulse even when they are away on leave?
How hard is it to check your email wherever on the planet you may be taking your leave?

Midnight-63 and Twigs the office rep who will not answer questions

Mate i think you have been over in the land of the long white cloud munching on too much fush and chups with tata source.

Pals if you read my post you would see I said but i'll break it up and make it simple so i reckon even both of you can understand it.

"out of all the crew"....

"who are the most likely to be on Long Service"...

"and not know about the job"...

Thats right ....."THE SENIOR CREW"

Mate maybe you should go to the lhr base and take twiggs with you to.

I gotta laugh at your bias twiggs so if you are on a cruise ship somewhere or somewhere in south america you think there are internet cafes just over the next hill or wherever and you should check everyday just in case some incompetent like you decides to spring something like this.even then you expect people to come down from trecking in the andes or wherever cancel all their plans lose money and race back to oz just because you and the rest in the office are panicking because you have just worked out you are short of csms and you want to save your own bacon

girly you really have no idea do you.the only thing pathetic around here is you and your posts

it is people like you in the office who cannot think ahead more than a few days at a time and expect everyone else to come rushing because you are not capable of doing your job.

cmon twix
tell us how you expect people backpacking in europe or on a yacht some place enjoying being away from the office and people like you who expect everyone to come running to know about this and be able to get home.

maybe you should give all crew on holidays a sat phone so they can call in everyday just in case you have screwed up AGAIN

or are you going to disapear for another 3 days and just make another ridiculous post as usual

speedbirdhouse..nah twix has to be female but your right and fat boy slim is a bit of a girl.maybe twix first name starts with "A" an wears glasses

I thought the answer to this one was given adequately by Midnight-63, but in the case you have highlighted, which I might add is so likely to be the case for so many crew (sarcasm) , bad luck!

With a response like that it should be obvious now why I don't bother answering any of yours or your sister's moronic questions.

waste of time here girly will never admit she is not crew so time to have a beer..make yourself useful and get back to work girly twix i'm sure you have a clause 11 to give to someone or kpis to justify

crew reading this might notice how twix never talks about anything important like the takeover but only has a shot at crew who are critical of the company.

I prefer to comment on subjects that I have some knowledge of.
I have a shot at anyone who talks rubbish about anything or anyone, not just the company.
