QF U.K.
I noted that QF where conducting a number of Emergency Procedure class's at BA Training Centre. They have 100 odd Cabin Crew Ab-initio in training + they have some CSM & A380 Training this week at BA flight training.
I would guess your QF delay is due to this.
Good Luck !

Remember Recruitment does not end until you pass the training!

regarding visa/residence permit
hi, im from the philippines. can i apply for cabin crew position with Qantas UK? I don't have EU passport/visa.
won't they process it for you once you get the job?
Isn't it like middle east airlines? They process everything for you once they hire you.
Where do they conduct interviews?
Thanks!

A Portuguese Girl going to WAD in Dec 11th
Hi!
I've been reading some of your messages (well to be truthful, almost all of them )
I'll be going to my WAD on the 11th of December. I'm trying to get as much information about Qantas and Australia as I can, but I’m so nervous... I know we just have to be ourselves, but since English is not my mother tongue I'm a bit concerned. Are there any Qantas Portuguese Crew Members around that can give me some pointers on housing at LHR and so on?
Thanks in advance!

WAD 10,11,12, Dec
It is with regret that we have to inform you that your Welcome Aboard recruitment day has been cancelled. Due to the current economic conditions, Qantas has taken the decision to freeze all recruitment until further notice. Has anyone else had this Email, I was a little worried this might happen
I am only guessing but i think the recruitment drive will start again in February09, or january 09 Im realy hoping keeping fingers & toes crossed.

Anyone know about Qantas cancelling all WAD's in the near future. Believe that everything is now cancelled due to the current economic climate and that they will re evaluate there recruitment plans next year.

I Had the same Email from Qantas Yesyerday saying that all recuitment has been cancelled. Due to the current economic conditions, Qantas has taken the decision to freeze all recruitment until further notice.
Qantas hope that they will be able to resume there recruitment programme early in 2009. so Im on the back wall and grounded till then.

fingers crossed
I'm also keeping my fingers crossed! I had already bought a ticket to go to London for my WAD... So I'll go there anyway, but as a tourist We have to look at the bright side of life
Hoping everything will resume on January ou February (it would be a good birthday present )
Good luck for everyone !

Has any of you that were on the Wad's the first week of Nov heard an outcome yet? Was there on the 5th and nothing yet. Phoned them the 2 week of Dec and was told we would hear the following week... still nothing.
QCCUK is offering Leave Without Pay and Part Time opportunities for bid periods right through to July 2009. Due to operational changes there must now be an excess of crew in LHR. It is therefore unlikely that there will be any recruitment activity for most of 2009 aside from the crew transferring from Australia.

Qantas UK height restriction for male cabin crew
I've noticed that Qantas UK has a height restriction for male cabin crew: 183 cm. But the thing is that I've met at least 3 male cabin crew, currently employed by Qantas UK, taller than 183 cm.
Exactly how strict are they (Qantas UK) with the height-issue?
And a Happy New Year to everyone!

I am 187cm. I made it to final interview qith QCCUK. It is pretty hard not to stand up straight. The thing kind of wobbles, and someone is usually looking at you from the side. Infact I think they made me stand up so straight that I was taller than I normally would be when walking around the cabin! I questioned them on the height thing later, and they said it is because of the B744 UD Galley! I have been flying on B744 for a few years, and never had any problems!
Go for it! Be positive, but not disapointed if they send you away! Lots of other airlines in the UK!

I find this very unfair. After applying to Qantas myself and being rejected because my height is 184 cms (one cm above the maximum) only to find that other people have been successful who are passed the limit!!
One rule for one and all that. I too have worked on 747's on the UD galley and had no problems.
