I don't think much will happen until 2010.
It is not unusual to get no reply from Qantas when recruitment has slowed down, but your application will remain on file until things pick up again.
When that happens it will be the opposite and you will have to drop whatever you are doing to accept a position with minimal notice.

New Aussie transfers
Seems like QCCUK is offering QAL crew the chance to transfer to LHR base again, with updated base pays. Any idea when (if) QCCA crew will be offered the opportunity?
Yes, the message from HR on the CIS log in screen says that preference will be given to QAL crew and then later they will seek applications from QCCA crew. Going by the last couple of intakes from QAL, I can't imagine there would be a great interest again this year, so I would predict the offer will go to QCCA soon.
Good luck!
My personal prediction (having flown out of the LHR base) is that this will become the norm for the LHR base (offering the positions to QCCA annually) as a way of keeping the base staffed to a reasonable level with Australian crew who are experienced on the A380

HKG - arrive breakfast time on day one, day two is a stage day, day three depart early morning.
SIN - really depends on whether you are on the A380 or 747 and what day of the week you are departing. Can be anywhere from around 28 hours to a few days.

I wonder how Immigration UK honestly feels about this. There is enough unemployment in the UK as it is but yet Qantas UK is going all the way to Australia to fill positions a local British National could fill. Although they will be recruiting applicants with the right of abode in the UK, I still don't agree with it. The whole point of a foreign airline being allowed to operate a base in the UK is that it should provide a certain percentage of employment opportunities for local people. Otherwise, Qantas should be forced to close the base, crew from Australia and lose the money savings that the LHR base is supposedly providing them.

They obviosuly think they can get a higher calibre of candidate in Australia - plus they would like those that have both a UK and Aussie background to fly from a base rather than just a "British" background.
Nothing wrong with that.

I don't think it is lost cause yet... I just spoke to somebody else who is in the same situation as you... I waited a few weeks until I received an email from them.
But what I don't understand is why am I invited to an interview next week and I still don't what time and where ?

I bit the bullet and applied. I just started as a casual for Jetstar but would love something full time, and my boyfriend said he'd support me if I wanted to move to London. I have a few questions I hope someone can help with:
Do they hold the interviews in Aus? Do they pay for you to relocate?
Thanks!

Yes they will hold interviews in Australia.
Like any external cabin crew employment with the Qantas group, they do not pay for your relocation if you do not live in the city already.
However, if you can gain employment with Qantas in Australia (either A380 or domestic) and then subsequently apply internally for a fixed term contract in LHR base, Qantas will pay you a lump sum into your British bank account to assist in your relocation.
Ps
Qantas is currently accepting applications for Domestic crew in SYD, MEL, PER and ADL and i think they are also accepting applications for A380. By gaining employment this way, you can then apply for a fixed term transfer to LHR with the benefit of the financial support for the transfer, plus, a job to return to when you have had enough of London.

Yes! me too, I have dual nationality and applied to Qanatas although I'm based in London. They said they were reviewing me application and would contact me shortly. Was that the reply that you had also.
Be interesting to see if they do offer me an interview in London despite what everyone else says. Never say never...
