Qantas LH/QCCA/UK?

Gday,

Just one question that I have for a QF FA. DO any of the long haul or QCCA crew actually get to make it to London? Just curious with the UK base. As well who will operate the 380? QFUK, LH or QCCA or something different. Any replies would be appreciated.

Answer

QCCA presently make it to LHR on the QF 31/32
The A380 will be crewed by both QAL and QCCA.
As the availability of A380s increases(20 on order)the LHR base will also crew this aircraft.
The only QF Crew not flying the A380 will be the QAL crew who have chosen not to.
The A380 will fly MEL/LAX...SYD/LHR....SYD/LAX and perhaps at some point in the future SYD/JNB.
High volume routes are what this aircraft was designed for.

Thanks a lot for your reply. So with the 380 do QFUK have their hours reduced? They are recruiting quite a bit at the moment...

[RaverFlaver]

Hours for QFUK are not reduced due to the A380.

QFUK will eventually crew the A380. The crew are starting training for that in the next couple of months.

Recruitment

They are recruiting to replace those who are leaving.
Each A380 has a crew complement of 22 ....around 30% more than a jumbo.
The recruitment is also for the extra crew required for this aircraft.

BKK Base

There has also been speculation about the future of the Thai base.
Should this close extra crew in the LHR base would also be required

Can someone tell me where/how I find the QANTAS - UK I threat?

Much obliged :-)

Qantas UK recruitment!!

Hi all, has anyone who has been on any of the recent "Welcome Aboard Days" heard anything yet?

Also, is anyone out there who knows what may be causing the delay??

UK callback

When they say they will be in touch shortly, it is that they will phone you(the girl that spoke to me was very friendly, was persistant too with the AUS-UK time zone diff) She basically just confirmed what I had written in my application and then asked me to attend a welcome aboard day at Heathrow. At that stage I was planning on being in Europe around the time of the recruitment day anyway, so I agreed , but as the time came I realised that I was far better off enjoying my holiday in Rome and not going to London for a potential let down so I cancelled.

[Dolley]

Can somebody give me an idea how long it takes until they get in touch with you after your initial application? Applied two weeks ago, still no phone call or email...any ideas?

[bunkrest]

Just out of interest could anyone tell me how stable the rostering is?

I noticed in an earlier post that you can (like almost every airline!) get available days before trips - If it falls before a rostered trip do you then automatically lose that duty if ops need you elsewhere? If so what sort of warning do you get before a roster change?

Also is there any way of bidding for days off?

Thanks in advance!

[Dolley]

Hi, so far I didn't get an answer on the 'Cabin Crew' threat, maybe somebody here can help me with my question?

I believe a few companies (e.g. Qantas Uk) give crew a whole month of stand by every year. I am interested how that works out for people especially commuters who live further than 90minutes from their base?
Do you just book yourself into a B&B for the whole month?
Within this month of Stand by, do you still get days off rostered, so that you can return home for a bit here and there?
When you get called for a trip, do you get automatically a certain amount of days off when you come back, or are you straight back on Stand by?
Can you try and swap onto flights so that you have less stand by time?
Are you allowed to take leave in your stand by month?

Thank you for any information regarding stand by month,
Dolley

It seems a bit that I'm the only one posting here but if anybody else is going to the assessment day on the 24th of October feel free to PM me I'll probably be staying at the hotel the night before. See you all there

[XL4ever]

Hi All,

Could anyone tell me what to expect from the welcome aboard day??? got mine on the 8th oct... Not sure what to expect...

Thanks xx

[Dolley]

Hi XL4ever,

I don't know much more than you but I think it's the usual airline process (which I gather from your nickname you have been through before):

Checking your paperwork
Group-exercises
And then you might stay on for an Interview or you get sent home. Hopefully the first! :-)

And from my research it's the usual things to keep in mind:

Dress smarty.
Be yourself, and try to relax.
Smile!!!
Know about the company.

Good luck

PS: And if you have more info and tips after the 8th I would appreciate a PM as I'm going on the 24th

[XL4ever]

Hi Dolley,

Cheers for that, i worked for XL for 4 years, Xl was my last interview so i need to brush up on a few things.

Will defo let you know how it goes and will try and remember everything they ask.

Qantas Recruitment

I am going to a Qantas recruitment/interview day, could anyone give me some advice and help/tips on what to expect on the day.
Any help or information would be extremely useful, many thanks

Qantas recuitment

Hi nightmare,
Are you going for a recruiment day in Australia and if so when?
I haven't been to one yet but what I have read is that there are group interviews and then after lunch they will call you back in for a one on one interview if you are successful. I think they will ask you certain questions about yourself and your current job and you also have to think of answers of what you would do situations. Sorry I can't be much help but good luck and let us know how you go. Look in the other Qantas section there might be some anwsers for you.
