How many nights downroute?
Hi Qantus cabin crew!
Can anyone already working for qantas please tell me how many nights you get in HONG KONG, SINGAPORE and BANKOK?
Please could anyone also let me know how much is an average basic monthly pay recieved? Or the annual salary on the contract?
Do you think it's possible to commute to the South West of England between trips at first, before I am able to re-locate? (how many days off do u usually get between trips?!)
Thanks!

Hi everyone 
I applied on-line yesterday afternoon but after reading this its unclear to me if i need an Ozzy passport in order to qualify? I have an EU passport and the right to live and work in the UK. I understood that was all that was required?
Edit: Just to ask (dont mean to sound thick) but what does 'WAD' stand for?

Hi Sheena
No, an EU passport is exactly what you need for the Heathrow base.... so you're on your way. Goodluck.
and takeoff
You get 1 night in BKK, 2 nights in HKG and anywhere from 1 to 4 nights in SIN depending on the trip pattern. Rosters tend to have between 6 - 8 trips in an 8 week cycle and you tend to get 2 - 4 days off between trips.... sometimes even 5. Rarely just 1. Lots of crew live in the South West. You may find you don't need to re-locate at all.
basic is between 1000 and 1300 pounds after tax and deductions depending on how many sectors you fly

Anyone receive 1 of these?
It is with regret that we have to inform you that your Welcome Aboard recruitment day has been postponed. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Qantas has had to take the decision to postpone this event.
We hope to have a new date for the event to take place in the near future and as soon as we do we will contact you with the new dates and to ascertain your availability.
Please can we ask you to refrain from telephoning the recruitment team while we try to establish new dates and continue to monitor your email for further information.
Ugh.

Thanks Flitegirl What are my chances of even getting a telephone call for an interview? I would do anything to get this job... Should i sit and wait for them to get back to me about my application or should i put in a call to them?

Yeah it's unbelievable. Interviews with 2 airlines cancelled and I'm in a holding pool for another (with hundreds ahead of me). I guess the airlines expected the industry to have picked up by now with heavier loads and more flights. Oh well...
Qantas assessment day postponed

Quantas UK WAD dates
Hi, Cld recruitment this morning ( 3:00 AM my time ) as I was given a few
days to research relocating to London from Canada, as I wanted to see if I could sustain a decent life with the amount of money they offer. Since we are responsible for the financial commitment to attend a WAD, I just had to make sure. Well,this mornings conversation seemed disappointing. I was to call to let them know my decision, and I had decided to go to the WAD. They originally gave the March 18, 19 & 20th but also stated I could come in April if March was too soon. I decided April and thought this morning she would offer a date. She did not and I was told to call back the end of March as they did not have the April dates yet, end of conversation. I guess my expectations were shot down and now I have to wait 4 more weeks. Just wanted to pass along my experience to date, now I am just bewildered LOL!

Qantas Recruitment
The aviation is about to experience a huge downturn if it hasnt already.
Schedules will be cut,aircraft parked and Leave Without Pay offered to those already employed.
Recruitment will be on hold for awhile...you will need to be patient.
It is going to be at least a year before things begin to improve.

Are Qantas actively recruiting for crew or is this for another holdpool? I've just applied for UK base and my application has been submitted. But somewhere along the lines it said something like "Thankyou for your application of interest" which got me a little worried. Does anybody have start dates for courses or anything?. I'm about to finish my BA 11 month Temp contract and have no idea what to do next!
