Eastern flight attendants start on about $1400-$1600 after tax p/fortnight including flying allowances.
Rosters are normally 110-125 p/28 days which normally includes 2-3 reserve days 3-6 o/nights (Sydney base)
There is little to no opportunity to transfer to mainline-bottom line: if you are going to Qantaslink to get to mainline don't bother you will be waiting about 10 years!!
Money isn't great and Yes you will occasionally fly solo flight attendant but the lifestyle is great and the flying is pretty easy.
Good Luck!

Qantaslink SYD recruitment
Hi,
I got a phone call from Qantaslink inviting me to do a 'functional assessment' on one of their aircaft. I was just wondering if anyone can tell me what this is/involves? I attended the Recruitment Day a few weeks ago but havnt been invited to do a medical yet. Is this functional assessment usually done before the medical?
Thanks in advance

Cairns base
Hey guys!!
Just incase anyone is interested, qantaslinks cns base is very short staffed at the moment so chance of interview is pretty high!!apply online and if you are offered an interview make sure that you really emphasise on teamwork and customer service stuff! Cns is a relatively small base, but we've got great crew! hours and pay is pretty good considering how much we work! averaging a 100 hour roster or just under, with 3 reserve and 4-6 o'nights! If you have any questions at all ask away!!
good luck!

I have heard that since reducing the crew compliment to one crew per 50 passengers recently at Qantaslink, in Perth at least, they are now over staffed massively. Is this the case at other Qantaslink bases? I'm assuming this will mean a halt in recruitment for a bit.

QantasLink MEL
Hi Guys,
I recently had a telephone interview for QantasLink and have now received an inviation to attend the seminar/assessment day 8th December. Anyone in the same boat?
I have been checking here to see if anyone else has posted re: this but haven't had much luck in terms of finding other people who have been selected.
Has anything changed recently? I went about 4 years ago and made it through to the panel interview.

Qantaslink can be very strict with height due to OH&S.
This is for your saftey and the pax.
I would email them or call if you can to advise them of your height. If they still ask you to attend, get the persons name and position (if you can) as a backup on the day.
Hope this helps mate!
Good Luck

QantasLink Perth recruitment
Does anyone know how easy it is, and how long it would take to transfer from one QantasLink base to another? I am considering applying for the Perth base (advertising now) and transferring to Melbourne later down the track. Thanks for your help

Qantaslink operates under 3 separate sub-business per say
Sunstate: Dash8
Eastern: Dash8
Cobham: B717 services.
The Sunstate & Eastern workplace agreements are similar yet a little different, not sufficient to explain on here.
The Cobham services are separate all together, even their SOP's are very different from mainline Qantas services. You do receive staff travel though your unload category is very low & you are not eligible for Business upgrade. There is no correlation between the QFgroup & Cobham apart from the obvious working under the same uniform & red tailed aircraft.

Solo Flying
From Brisbane yes they also operate solo as well. They also fly out to Lord Howe Island as well like Sydney crew do. On the 200 series it is always solo operations and sometimes even on the 300 series you can operate solo as well however maximum passengers can only be 36 even though the 300 series can carry 50 passengers.
