Coco - Not sure what you mean / asking....
Generally speaking, you'll be asked to complete medical and police clearance forms when you progress to the next stage of the recruitment process.
Bear in mind that progression to the next stage is also dependent on the recruitment timeline - if there's no movement planned then it may be a little while before you're asked to complete the clearances.
If you haven't heard anything in a little while - hang tight. No news isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Hi Truk...how are you?
No news. You've missed nothing. I don't think there's any point in calling. Once they've rescheduled the ground school they'll notify the successful candidates so the answer you'll get now will still be a vague one as they don't know either I dare say.
Hopefully it's in the new year! Fingers crossed for all of us.

Bide My Time.....
Hi Coco!
Doing very well apart from the obvious. Had a great holiday and fell in love with Singapore. Very excited that its a destination that i might get to fly to.
I gave in and called them and they told me i am still at the medical and secuirty stage and that everything is on hold, but not really hold. Very Vague and Confusing.
Fingers Crossed for the New Year!

So, I was talking to a flying buddy of mine the other day and we were discussing getting the right to work in the UK, and she told me I should've been tallying up my points under the tier 5 youth mobility visa rather than tier one or general or whatever I was doing before.
Is this true PPRuNers? Would I need to apply for this visa before applying for Qantas UK so that I could tick on the Qantas application that yes I do have the right to work in the UK? Or not bother to get it until Qantas has definitely offered me a job?

Hi, I'm on the shortlist for the Auckland Long Haul base and I've also been told that all training is on hold. I wonder if it's just an end of year thing and they will start again in January.

Hey,
I applied for the position in July this year and unfortunately missed out on the August interviews in Aust (funny enough I was in London at the time!). I ended up going to an interview in early September and have had my references checked...but nothing since then! Strangely we were sent the security forms before the interview day however at no time were we asked to hand them in...just our photos, resumes and copies of passports etc.
Its so frustrating, I wish they'd just send a general email to say what is going on and some sort of time frame? I'm too scared to book any holidays in case they announce a training date! In the meantime I'm just trying to stay positive!!! It's also good to hear a lot of other people in the same position, knowing you aren't the only one!

I dream about working for Qantas
Hi Guys:
Tainslovestofly - Yeah i think it would be best to have the visa thing all sorted before you applied! Makes you more appealing! Perfect time to get its started while everything is on hold. The wont offer you a job without the visa. Its a bit expensive and you need to show savings of about $4000 AU for a Uk Visa.
Bert123 - I have a feeling that as soon as the A380's get sorted something will start again. Dont think that we will hear anything until the new year
Everyone is at different stages. Good Luck and keep us updated if you hear anything.
Superlama87 - I hear you! Everything is on hold at the moment; Very Hard! im trying to decide if i should sign a new lease for another 6 months! They only give you about 2 weeks notice before ground school; They asked for my secuirty form at the same time as my medical and overseas police check! An update email would be very nice; i started this process on August 30th. Best of Luck!
Someone has to hear something soon!

Only reason I am wary is because surely you can't apply for the visa, successfully get it and then say to them 'oh thanks for granting me the right to work in the UK but can we hold onto it for six months?'. Because who knows when Qantas will call you, you know? What if you get the visa and then are holding onto it without using it for ages because Qantas UK aren't hiring? I wouldve thought that once you were granted the visa that you couldn't wait forever to use it. I thought I read somewhere that they could only postpone the start date by three months...

Interested
Morning Peeps;
How'd you find out that info Coco? Did you call ? ; the last i heard was recuritement telling me that 'GS is on hold; but not really on hold' - If that makes any sense; it didnt to me?
BERT123 - Its so hard not knowing when and if its coming? you cant really plan anything
Tainslovetofly - I know its rough but thats the way that it is; everyone at our WAD were told to start the process - You also have to pay for medicals and vaccinations and overseas police clearances and you still arent gauranteed a job!
Well Guys..Hope we hear something soon! Thanks for the updates.

Hey guys...yes I gave the recruitment line another call and they told me. Naturally it's not set in stone but that's what they are thinking will happen. So if that's the case expect to get notified early next year via email.
Hope that info helps.
