R89: I believe you do. I will take as much paperwork as I can really, but obviously I don't know how strict they actually are on the day. I won't bother getting things translated unless they specifically request it though.

Very informative post, thanks
Just a little more info if you would, with the basic plus approx 4 flights a month what is the figure after tax you would come out with.
im thinking 800 basic 400 sector pay 320-400 allowances downroute
so about 1500 per month after tax.
or am i off the mark
Thanks again..

Tell me why you would work for 16000 pounds . No really is that about the norm in europe ? I am based in syd australia . If you havent worked it out that i plus 8 other people who swapped numbers after our interview day in syd. Its a shock to me and all others that after waiting 7 months and being told by QF that our applications are still procesed only to be told hey pls apply for either LON or AKL . We were invited to reply in an email if we wished to recive information packs. The funny thing is QF mentioned in an email " If you apply for either position it will in no way affect your Oz application, how ever if you are granted a positon we then will cancel your Oz appliaction . Fair enough sure we all understand !! BUT no 1 applied as we talked about and thought unless we all share a 2-3 bedroom flat how are we going to afford to survive ? So not even 3 days latter most of us got the dear john letter . Thats why myself included are totaly stunded by QF's treatment to so many after so long. Is that better ???

With regards to your recent QCCA experiences we do value your input. I do empathize with you your current situation however it would be great if you could stop the continual negativity. We are here to find out information regarding the position and not to hear people's heartache.

Thanks very much for your reply, i suppose also how much of your allowance you spend downroute..lol
Do you also always get 4 flights a month so your wages are pretty much the same each month.
Thanks again

Once more, your figures are incorrect. If you will just read the rest of this thread you will see that current Qantas UK employees estimate their take home salary each month at £1400 which includes sector pay and allowances. Basic is not even close to £16.000 but more along £12.000 which is pretty normal for the job in the UK, and pretty good compared to some other European countries. You won't get rich working as crew but you won't live badly either. Compared to many unskilled jobs it's actually very good money over here.
Once more, good luck with your continuous job search, and my sympathies that Qantas didn't work out for you.

In answer to your question - Qantas work on an 8 week roster and in that time you are likely to get between 7 - 8 trips. However, Qantas are expectionally flexible in the UK and you can trip swap and phone up crewing every day to try and pick up extra trips. Obviously you are restricted with your 240 hours and they try to not work you over that as they will have to pay you overtime, but you can work as close to 240 as you can.
Normally they will work you around the 210-220hr mark so you can always try to sneak an extra trip in or do back-to-back trips.
Overall, Qantas are happy for you to work as much as you like and give you a lot of freedom to alter your roster to suit your needs e.g. swapping trips, rearranging your days off etc etc.
Hope this helps!!!

I'll be flying up from Spain the day before, any idea about cheap hotels in the area?
In the confirmation mail they talk about a discount for current cabin crew at the Jurys Inn, does anybody know how much?
Thanks alot

Hi Mary,
The Jury's Inn is probably your best option. I looked long and hard for cheaper alternatives but fact is, it's probably as cheap as it gets especially if you would have to pay money for transport if you go a bit further away where it may be a bit cheaper.
If you buy over the online website you can book a room for £72. That's the cheapest. Even if you already work for another airline. Quite a chunk of money but I guess we'll all invest it in the hope that it'll pay off in the end....
Good luck!

Info?
Hey guys, i've through onto a Welcome Aboard day on November 6th... has anyone on this forum previously been on one of these and know what to expect?
I've already been asked and answered the standard interview questions (give an example of this, what would you if this happened etc) over the phone, so have no idea what to expect to be questioned on at the WA day.
This is the first time I have been for an interview for Cabin Crew, I've finally built up enough customer service experience to get this far lol... and am so nervous... I want this job so bad!!!
Thanks for any help to help me prepare!!!

Good luck
