thanks
hyena thanks alot. 
I’ve just finished the online application, all done and dusted now so I’ll just be waiting to hear from them. As I’ve just bought a house up here in the north commuting will be my only option. So I guess if I’m successful I’ll be ringing egg.com for an increase to fund my travel tickets. He he he.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. P.M me if you wish. Look forward to coming over and meeting and flying with you all!

Hi Raft....
You can basically live anywhere you want. What it really comes down to is $$$$$....well pounds but i dont have one on this computer
Do you want to be within easy distance of London itself? Or is the commute to work more important?
Staying west of London will offer ease to both London and Heathrow. The downside is that most of the 'nicer' areas of London are in this area and with that can come a nice price tag for rentals. If you are coming over as a CSS or CSM then you will be in a better financial postion to afford more rent if you choose.....or blow your relocation allowance on it
Generally you will be looking at 400 pounds and upwards for your own room anywhere in London. This will be plus council tax and bills.
www.findaproperty.com is a great website that can help you navigate through all the areas around london and give you an idea of what renting is like and what you can get for your money. Keep in mind they have what is called council tax here which can vary from place to place and on the size of the property...so if its a 1 bed flat will it be cheaper than a 4 bed house.
If you are looking to move into an already existing house share..... www.gumtree.com is a good place to look at.
Good luck with the move.....

phone interview
Hi guys, I have had a call off Qantas this morning and missed it, they left voice message so called them back. They took my name etc and said ……..? who is dealing with your file will call you back later today. Is this for a phone interview? Quick reply would be grand.

ozskipper, If you have filled out the no right to work option on the application would you automatically be removed from the selection process, if so anyone know the chance of getting working visa without sponsor?

Heya
I've noticed a few people have been saying QF pay isn't too great
anyone provide a general idea what kind of money you're getting in your account (after tax) each month?
I've been trying to work it out from bits of info..
sector pay £50 each = £400-£450
allowances = £240-£480
basic = £1000-£1100?
poss total £ coming in monthly= £1500-£1800 approx
is any of that correct?!
also assuming sector pay is taxed and allowances are minus whatever you spent downroute.. still, sounds like ok to me
anyone confirm/rectify?
much appreciate it!

Hey Loty.
I would say all in as a Flight Attendant you will take home 1400-1600 per month....this includes all allowances, sector pay and tax.
And that is not taking out what you would spend down route.....
At full flying hours per month you can expect to take home 1150 basic/sector pay after tax . So really what you end up earning will depend on where you fly to and how much you spend.
It is a livable wage but definately not the highest paid airline operating in the UK.

Octagonal asks:
If you don't have a right to live and work in the UK then no UK employer can legally employ you. So, you'll need to have a UK/EU passport, right of abode, ancestry visa or similar. If you are tertiary qualified and have earned a decent amount of money you could apply for a HSMP visa which is a working visa without a sponsor.
