To whoever posted that response yesterday about being on hold for two yrs and then getting rejected, I would like to hear from you. If I didnt know myself I would have said I wrote that.
Since it has now been deleted could you pleas pm me as I would like to chat to you about something.
To all the other candidates, dont bother with this company, better of with VA.
You are treated like *****

I also had the same opportunity to read that post before it was deleted and I must admit...it raised a few concerns. I would also appreciate some contact with the 'author' of that post, just to clarify a few things, if that's not too much trouble.

I thought the author may have deleted his/her post as it might be easy to have been identified.

Its good to see this thread a bit more lively than what it's been in a while unfortunately it still doesn't clarify any MEL base movement yet. I'm sorry to see and hear about any 'unsuccessful' emails. I wish I knew what QCCA were looking for and what criteria they use to make their decisions. It seems that many great and highly qualified people still miss out this great opportunity. I hope that you all don't give up hope and try again when your 6 month waiting period ceases. I'm sure it will be worth the wait and make us all more appreciative when the 'yes' call is finally received.
Hi Genki,
When you say 200-300 crew, is that for predominately SYD base or MEL too? That sure seems like a lot of crew. Do they have enough aircraft to support that intake? I've heard that they will be getting more A380's. I hope you're right and they begin recruitment for it soon.

Qantas will receive 1 A380 before the end of the year and crew for this aircraft will be moved from mainlain being the QCCA crew and new recruits currently being recruited (some with no flying experience will go to mainline first). Between Jan and Mar 2011 an additional 3 aircraft will be delivered therefore 300 crew will be required it can roughly be calculated as 20 Flight Attendants x 4 for each aircraft being the number of crew required to operate the aircraft plus additional crew for reserves etc.
I think there will be an additional requirement for Melbourne base. As you SHOULD all be aware if you are going for interviews with Qantas is that Melbourne-LAX will be going daily from next year when the new aircraft are delivered as well as Melbourne-Singapore-London. I would certainly hope that you are ALL aware of this very basic information which has been available on the Qantas Website under Press Resleases for a while now.
Dont even waste your time trying to understand the Qantas recruitment process. It is extremley complex and goes through many layers of staff and management before a decision is made thus the reason people are rejected after medical and security, thats just another layer before another layer before reference checks etc. The intervies and assessments are just a small component of a very complex system.
Dont burn your bridges by voicing your distaste of this process to Qantas as this could well not work in your favour later in the year should recruitment open again.
Good Luck.

Hey guys & girls, just thought I'd mention it here so you know where they're up to with recruitment process...
I GOT THE CALL !
Woohoo !! My ground school start date is August 3rd, for the A380 fleet, SYD base. I'm so over the moon right now, and very excited to be starting at Qantas in less than a month. I now have an interstate move to tackle, from Melbourne to Sydney, so if anyone out there is, or knows of someone who is, looking for a place in Sydney, or needs a housemate, please PM me! 
Hopefully there are some others on here who have good news still on its way and that I may see next month. I wish you all the best if you're still waiting!

CONGRATULATIONS TEAMJQBOY!!
That must be sooo exciting. I must admit....i'm very jealous! (but in a good way) Make the most of this fantastic opportunity and i hope to see you in the skies one of these days.
I appreciate you mentioning that you were to be SYD based. Saves me chasing you for that info. Now that it seems that SYD base is reaching it's final stages of recruitment maybe, just maybe, MEL will commence soon.
please, please, please, please.

Well, i don't know if this means anything but the Qantas application page for both SYD and MEL bases are no longer accepting applications ie: closed off. Now they only have an application for their UK base.

Hi everyone,
I just have a quick question as to what trips are actually given to those working for QCCA on the A380's? While I can find info about where they fly to, actually trying to find out what an average trip actually consists of seems to require more inside knowledge.
Is it just a simple matter of doing returns or can you fly to several destinations in one trip? I am aware that crew can be away for well over a week which I would then assume that the trip consists of numerous destinations. Can anyone please clarify this for me?
