take home wages for QCCUK
Hey guys,
I will try and clear up some of the queries potential new crew have on pay and hours with QCCUK.
I am currently in my third year with the company and this financial year I earned 25,900 pounds including sector pay and allowances. Not bad for working an average of 210 hours per roster period (8weeks).
With the introduction of the A380 in January our trips range from 4,5,6 or 7 days.
You will average 6-7 trips per roster period and are able to change your roster quite easily to suit you.
I know there are alot of whingers on this site, but to be honest with you the job is great and it pays ok.
Good Luck

Hi Cooper, according to their web site Qantas are currently recruiting for UK. I have applied and am eagerly sitting here biting my nails! I live in Sydney and have the ability to work in Europe as I also have a EU passport, do you think they are keen on taking Ozzies on?? Just trying to work out what my chances are! Also, do they provide accomodation for staff that relocate and if so what are the conditions like?? Many thanks for any info you can provide!

I went to an Welcome Aboard Day a year or so ago.
There were a few of Aussies being assessed, only one made it to the afternoon session. None of the recruiters were Australian and I don't think it's very high on their priorities.
They will not provide accommodation to anyone relocating. Only ME airlines do that.
As for the height restriction, I believe it is an Australian OH&S thing to do with the Upper Deck on the 744.

Plenty of posts around here if you care to dig but not sure if they will be recruiting for good while. You'll need to be able to live and work in the UK permanently. Routes are LHR to SIN/BKK/HKG. Like most non-ME airlines, you will need to find your own accommodation at home base. Reasonable pay from what I understand.

As far as I know, LHR crew don't usually end up in Oz. The flight is handed over to an Oz based crew in SIN/BKK/HKG. If you're really keen to get home, you may need to wait until QF recruit again for QCCA.
Other than that, JQ just had a recruitment drive for DRW. That will probably come up again. Strategic are also recruiting for DRW and PER.

I do know that at the moment all Qantas wannabes are in a holding pool.
My friend worked for them for 3 years and absolutely loved it, she left for the BA 11 month contract cause she got bored of the repetitive destinations eg SIN, HKG and BKK. She regrets making that move now, as she is hoping to go back but there isnt any positions.
I know they used to have really good fun!! downroute.
Also another thing Qantas UK is a company in its own right and takes EU crew on not Aussie passport holders, I have dual UK and Oz passports, but to apply for Qantas in Oz will have to go through an interview completely different from the Uk company.
Hope that helps - I do know that they are giving part time positions internally.

Qantas offer two year transfers to the U.K base, and they organise working visas to enable that and also for your partner. They pay moving costs too. However, I think all transfers are on hold at the moment. I would assume that if you are Australian, you would need to work first for Qantas in Australia before transferring.
There is currently a mini job swap happening between Oz and the U.K for a period of two months, but all crew were current, not new employees.
Condition wise, I believe the base salary is around 15 000 pounds. Allowances on top would probably be approx 10 000 pounds.
As mentioned they are two different companies, but alot of Oz crew have taken the opportunity to transfer for two years.
Hope this helps.

Hi guys,
Just wondered if anyone could shed some light on what's happening with Qantas's recruitment? I applied back in May and have heard nothing. I have friends who have also heard nothing and applied as early as January this year.
We all have previous flying experience and there is no reason why we wouldn't meet the criteria. Is anyone else in a similar position? Just seems odd that they can advertise 'job opportunities' on their website and then not get back to you for almost a year.
Does anyone have any inside info on when they might start interviewing?
Thanks
