The day starts with a group activity. Back in March it was building stuff with Lego to their specifications, deciding as a team what to build and what features to include and then making a presentation. Then there is an oral quiz on Qantas. If you don't do any research on Qantas, this is where it will become quite apparent to the group.
This is followed by a presentation while they decided who to cut. The announcement is made and those who stay are then asked to produce their documents. They are then given a short role play exercise followed by a 2-1 interview.
Not really much different to other airlines really. The usual rules about grooming and deportment apply, as well as interpersonal skills. It wouldn't hurt to brush up on your knowledge of Australia. DEFINITELY learn as much as you can about Qantas.

Good news or bad?
A question for all those that have been succesful at the Welcome Aboard Days:
How long after WAD do you find out if you've made it or not? I'm dying to find out!

I would recommend you to read the whole Qantas UK thread. All your questions (and more) should get answered in there :-)
That's what I did, and it's all very useful information :-)
Good luck!

Is it just me or are your taking things a bit personal? And are maybe just a tiny bit bitter?
Do I get it right that you are from Australia and located in Australia?
Because Qantas UK is still hiring here in Europe. A lot actually. It can always happen that recruitment needs are met before it's your turn unfortunately. And in the current economic state we all take a gamble anyway.
Nobody likes being played around with for sure, however, get over it, find yourself a more mature and professional attitude and try again, either with qantas in 6 months or in the meantime with whoever else.
Good luck for the future!
PS: Your figures are incorrect as well, at least if you are European, applying to Qantas UK.

Hi Beba
The Qantas UK thread is quite lengthy so thought I'd try and summarise some of the points you asked details on.....
As a new Flight Attendant for Qantas, your starting basic is a couple of pounds short of £12,000p.a. The flight pay works out to be £50 per sector due to the length of the 3 routes they do - Hong Kong, Bangkok and Singapore. You receive you allowances downroute in currency which varies according to where you are but is between £80-£120 each trip (approx.)
Most trips are 4 days (Day 1 - Fly, Day 2 - Arrive Downroute in afternoon, Day 3 - Leave downroute at night, Day 4 - Arrive at base in the morning or early afternoon).
After a 4 day trip you will be rostered 3 days off. Howevr, crewing are very flexible and you can swap round your days off and all sorts and trip swap with other crew....they are a very flexible.
You can work a maximum of 240 hours per roster period which works out to be 240 hours every 8 weeks. That works out to be a max. of 8 trips - so one trip a week.
You are entitled to 35 days annual leave per year which is pro-rata when you start.
As it is still an Australian airline, they follow the regulations of CASA.
Hope this information helps! Please consider that contracts change on a regular basis so this information may change!

Hi Phil
This isn't my area of expertise (not that I actually have one!) but as I understand it, when flying into any of these countries as crew, our "Gen Dec" is used for Customs for entry into the country as this will have details of our flight no's and all the crew.
No visas are required as this is all part and parcel of the airlines agreement in flying into the countries.
Anyone who knows more, please feel free to explain better as I'm sure my knowledge is a little rusty!
