Jetstar already have a crew for Avalon.. But still if you go for it - You may get the odd Avalon shift.
Same with Tiger.. What ever your main base will be.. They can still get you to work at both airports and you will generally have to sign a piece of paper about agreeing to dual base.
Has anyone heard about their Tiger interviews? how did they go?

hi brendy,
yep, from Tue 27th Avalon interviews I think 24 of us were left after about 15 were culled.
We were told at the end of the day that we were successful and offered employment right then and there - all a bit quick really. Evan fitted for our uniform before we left !!

Sunstar320,
the uni-shirts we tried on for size were all white but I'm guessing that these were only 'demo' shirts used only to get sizes. there were two female interviewers who were also working cabin crew and they were wearing the 'normal' yellow cotton shirt with rolled up sleeves, so I don't think the colours/uniform has changed.

the shirts we tried on for uniform fitting was last Tue at the end of the assessment day for Avalon.
so the yellow cotton shirts will be for the Avalon crew when AVV opens in Nov. although the first month we were told will be out of Tulla to get a month of experience under our belt before going onto AVV.
hope that answers your question.

I know someone mentioned before that you don't get paid during training/ground school (as casuals).
Can someone confirm this? Did they say anything about it at the interview?

Thanks for your reply LadyJ1 
I got invited to the interview for the Avalon intake, but turned it down because I prefer the Tullamarine base. I'm still considering Tiger though, if they do another intake in the future.
Good luck everyone!

also received email today saying my ground school will be starting Aug 23rd. and will run for about one month.
Will then be expected to work out of Tulla for 1.5 months until AVV starts up in Nov.
Correct - not paid for training but will receive $1000. after successful completion of training as a 'bonus'. better than nothing I guess.

Yes got the email also. Not happy at all. Because I had found out earlier, I had quit my jobs over a week ago (I have 3) laughs! But now I am only working 2 shifts a week and its frustrating because I also gave up my studies because I knew training was important because of what happened to me last time. And I do not like the sound of possibly starting in September... I need to know now because money doesnt grow on trees 
I really hope it is September otherwise I am just going to have to try somewhere else.. as much as I love Tiger, I also like to live and that involves money.

tough call LadyJ,
I know these things can drag on - and as you say, we need to live and eat in the mean time.
It would be a shame to leave at this late stage though - hang in there as long as you can !!

I guess I now I have time to play around with hair and makeup... yes I am bored.

Hi ladyJ1,
Yes im disappointed to coz i resigned from my job and i was expecting to train around the 16th August. But i remember they were saying that they were going to confirm the start date. I guess that they have to clear all the obstacles and then training will start. Lucky we haven't lost anything yet we just have to play the waiting game!!!
