My Vrd
Hi EVERYONE!!!!
Woo! So I'm back from Sydney!! Sorry guys only got back late last night....
The VRD was great... There were only 15 people there, and here I was expecting 70! We did our group activities and then had a break while they worked out who would be staying...
I was so nervous when we came back, the recruiters were all standing there with our letters and the butterflys went crazy (I was the most nervous then than i was all day!!) We were given our letters, I read the first paragraph and thought bummer, no luck, then read on very excitedly. woo hoo! Made it through to the next round. 5 Girls were unsucessful, I was really excited, but felt really bad for them
The next round was a role play then an interview. I think i did ok... the recruiters certainly do not give much away. But they were all really lovely. I was excited to have made it to the VRD but after the actual day and everything they spoke to us about and showed us I am SUPER SUPER excited now! So just to wait for THAT email...
ALL the people that were there as applicants were awesome as well and I could imagine them all in CC roles so I think I've got some pretty solid competiton, though if I don't make it at least I wont feel as bad knowing how awesome everyone there was and how much we all deserve it!
They were unable to give us GS dates though the GS will be in Sydney. Pay is the same as current EBA (the one up till 2005) but is subject to change following the introduction of the new EBA (due sometime next year hopefully)
Anyone looking for the EBA shld go to www.wagenet.gov.au you will find it there...
Anyhoo... so the wait begins!!

Just a reminder to everyone waiting on a call from DJ, they have cancelled all cabin crew groundschools until October. CC cource 118 is running at the moment and I believe that is the last one until October.

Massive Congrats Breeza 
, the hard parts over... now you just have to make sure your referee's are strong and you stay nice n healthy for the medical. It'll take some time but I'm glad you've made it through..(you seem like a hell of a character!

Well Done
Very Well Done Breeza, you had it altogther right from the start, What did you do at the interview to impress them? I'm going to try for a major career change, I'm a bit of an "oldie" but I think is worth a shot. Very happy for you and have enjoyed your posts, even thought about you on the VRD and wondered how you were going, "how strange is that"
Best of luck for whats to come. Regards Steffie

Woo-Hoo!
Hi everyone.
Was at the VRD the day after Breeza and just got my progression email today!
Many more hurdles and hoops to navigate yet, but i cannot tell you how excited i am right now.
To all that have just received training school dates, well done and good luck! I'm sure it'll be worth the wait.
And may we one day end up on either end of a cart together.
Have a great week!
