Thanks
Thanks Honeycoated!
Are you with Qantas? You had lifejackets on at all times? My friend who's qcca told me the drill were hard because she had to drag this person across without any flotation device with full clothes on, I am a bit nervous as I have never done it before. Hope I could pass that part.
Are you already a flightie?

Don't stress. You still have your own lifejacket on when you drag the other person. Maybe pick someone light to be your partner when it comes to it. Don't make it harder than what it seems to be.

Hi all,
to those who yet don't have a result... Well I've been told that if were going to be considered for recruitment we would have been asked to complete a medical much earlier on.... As for myself I was never called up to do a medical do believe my final answer is a no
Good luck to anyone else!! Hopefully those who didn't get it will be tge new qantas internationals!!

Hmmm....that might be the case but i think we should be notified in some way of our status whether it be good or bad. The reason i say this is because when we do received the notice we will then be informed that it is a 6 month time frame from that date before we are eligible to reapply.
Has anyone tried calling them recently?

MAM - Melbourne Base
Hi Firyice,
I agree with you, I'm sure we'll hear either way. It's incredibly frustrating as they were so quick to contact our refs but nothing since. I was thinking of calling them but thought I should wait it out like everyone else!
Hopefully we hear something this week
PS It would be good to hear from others that were at the recruitment day on the 31st March

Superlicious, I think you shouldn't believe everything you hear. That comment makes no sense based on the required CC numbers we were given at the Candidate Event days. It seems there has just been a pause in recruitment.
There is a lot of conjecture of pprune that isn't always accurate. I don't think you should give up so easily. I hope you, like all of us, hear soon enough.

I agree with firyice too. More than likely, eventually it will be yes or no and then if no, we have the chance to reapply. I can't speak for Melbourne but I'm sure at the Sydney recruitment day that they said majority of people on the east coast would go into a holding file because they were anticipating growth but couldn't be sure at what rate it would happen as these are new bases.
I think eventually another round will be invited to candidate events, which will be a mix of old and new applicants again, much the same as just happened, and we'll all get our answers at some point.

Has anyone heared yet?
Hi All,
I have been to the Qantas domestic Info session on the 16th of March this year.
I applied originally in 2008 for Long haul positions with Qcca and had been on hold after succesfully attending the recruitment day back then with reference checks.
But since the Info session I have not heared anything.
Just wondering if anyone here has been to the same session and therefore sits in the same boat as I am.

Got my thanks but no thanks email today for the Perth base. It took a while - the RD was on the 6th of March - but I know they did have a stack of people come over 2 days. Though they did say they'd call us either way within 2 weeks. It's disappointing because I felt I did pretty well, but I do have another job as CC elsewhere anyways and I will re apply after my six months is up.

Sorry to hear that Brindabella. I hope you go again in 6 months time and are successful. At least you are flying - I hope you're enjoying your current CC job.

I was invited to the recruitment day and then was asked to stay back for a panel interview. The panel interview I thought went really well and we talked very easily so I do hope they consider me again in the future. I'm not sure what a candidate event is, so I don't think I went? 
What is it?
My referees are old university professors and a former boss who I haven't seen in a while so I don't actually know if they were contacted because me and my referees aren't in regular contact. But I know that they would not have said anything bad about me.
In a way I am almost glad. Now that I am training with a smaller airline and I have been able to see what it's all like I realise I probably wasn't ready to be with Qantas. I think given some time at a smaller airline I'll get up some experience and more confidence and then I can apply at Qantas again and be a better candidate.

I'm sorry to hear that Brindabella but you have a really positive attitude towards it which is great. Next time around you will have a heads up on what is expected of you and will have more experience to dazzle them with. You also know where you stand with them and can take the next step and move forward.
I'm still in the same position unfortunately. I am in a situation where i was successful 2 years ago (wow, is it really that long) for QCCA and was put on indefinite hold. When the Qantas Domestic position for Mel base came up, i applied and attended the candidate event in March. I know that my reference's have been checked........ummmm and that's pretty much it. No further word. What to do???

June
Hi guys, that call could be a little while away, as latest news indicated June dates for Melbourne base starts. So don't lose hope yet, just could take a while. Hope this helps,
