Ground Schools
Hi QFSkywalker,
If they cant get security clearances in time for people to start ground school why would people with later start dates be moved into earlier training groups?
Wouldnt people with earlier start dates be pushed back so they had more time to get the clearances?

Yes your partner can come visit but you would have to pay their airfares as I believe there are no staff travel privileges until training is over, however this might have changed so I guess you can always ask.
As you may be sharing accommodation with another trainee then you may also have to factor in getting your partner somewhere to stay as you can't really expect them to bunk in with you and another trainee while you are trying to study. Having said that it does depend on the accommodation, as for some it has been single rooms in hotels and otehrs have had 2 sharing an 'apartment' style hotel room with separate rooms, kitchen etc.
Either way I would check with the company to see what the policy is and what is allowed- some hotels will want an extra fee for an extra guests and some may not allow visitors to stay overnight.
Do remember that you are at work the whole time of groundschool, it's not a holiday. Quite a few of us during my training had partners just come visit for the weekends or days when we had off.
I echo the sentiment tha recruitment are busy, the more you call them the more you distract them from processing applications.

Does anyone have anything to give an update on? Anyone, anyone??
Successful calls, rejections emails, anything that shows there is still life in this recruitment!
Obviously I haven't got any news....bummer.
How did the first day of training go? Is it as scary as everyone makes it out to be?

MAM - Melbourne Base
Hi Everyone,
Just wondering if anyone has heard from QF/MAM yet?
Both of my referees have been contacted last week but I haven't heard anything since.
Anyway, I'd appreciate hearing from anyone else that attended on the 31st March.
Ciao for now.....

Hi Superlicious
I am still waiting to hear from Qantas Domestic Melbourne as well. I went to the recruitment day on Saturday 13th & to the group interview on Tuesday.
They have done my reference checks, and since then I haven't heard anything.
I have a friend who works at Qantas and she said they are waiting to book the dates for ground school for the next intakes.
There are a few people in the same situation as us. We just have to wait for them to come back to us and they are obviously really busy.
Stay positive. We haven't been told no and each day is one day closer until we find out

I received an email today confirming my ground school start date is the 28th April. They said the training department will be in touch closer to the date to provide information on flights and accommodation. Also they are sending an information pack in the mail.
Good luck to all who are still waiting. I spoke to a friend in MEL who is on the career progression list and there were a lot of people who were offered career progression to QD but didn't take it.
Anyone else starting on the 28th???
