HIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have no Idea! Maybe wait a few days because I know sometimes you can be on active hold for only a few days before they send out medical and asic check forms.
I got my Medical check email today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SOOOO EXCITED

Thanks Ilana! I remember at the RD day they said they were only taking 60 for the first Ground school and maybe a second lot of 30 on active hold for when they get the new planes. I hope you hear soon! I was hoping we would be study buddies at ground school in june 
I have booked my medical for next week so fingers crossed it all goes smoothly from here on in Ill let you know when the first GS dates are scheduled

Has anyone heard back from Altara re: Jetstar SEQ casual? I tried to reply to the email that I got saying that I was on active hold, to ask how long I'll be on hold from, and it spat the email back saying the address was invalid?

hey! I just recieved my formal offer of employment today for SEQ casual CC jetstar. Ground school starts on the 21st april on the Gold Coast (watermark surfers where the initial interviews were held). Not sure when the second lot will go ahead with GS. Have you been asked to do medical checks? I also had a phone interview with VB yesterday! But its sydney based. I went well with the interview and she's invited me to the RD day in sydney next week but I cant go because of work. Anyway Id prefer to wait until VB open recruitment for brisbane as Im a bit young to move away with no flying experience! haha
Have you applied for VB????

No still haven't heard anything or been asked to do medical checks. I rang yesterday and she said the people on hold MIGHT start end of July. So unfair you're so lucky. I applied for VB BNE the other week and apparently the RD is on Monday and I didn't get a phone interview yet, but no email either.

Sorry 21st june! Yes one week on the gold coast then 2 in Melbourne I'm SO driven to do well and make it through training thanks for the heads up kk!
Hang in there ilana it will work out! I didn't know they were recruiting brisbane based vb? That would be ideal! My friend just made it through vb bne training and starts very soon! Keep applying for everything!!
I hear emirates are recruiting now have you thought about going international? Its a huge step but I considered it for a while, and if you have nothing holding you down at home it would be an amazing experience!

Yeah apparently there was a RD for VB BNE was yesterday (Monday) ... but I still haven't had a call / email anything since doing the application so I'm not sure whether I just didn't make it at all, or whether there might be another RD, it'll be so disappointing if that was the only RD.
I've considered Emirates and got invited to one of their RD's late last year but I don't think I could do the move so I didn't end up going.
Come on Altara ... email me for a medical!!!

Hey, I just sent away my contract yesterday, just one teensy little glitch that reads, "your wages will be paid in arrears each month in which you are engaged"...
?????????????
WOW, time to learn how to strategically budget! Don't get me wrong I would fly at 5c per hour if my CC career depended on it and Im not overly worried about the money aspect but, KK1000 are you paid MONTHLY!!!!!!!????????????????

I rang them last week, because I don't want to go making holiday plans around the time they might schedule a GS, and the lady said MAYBE late July.

What do they go through at the medical, just out of curiousity? Do you have to get it done at a certain place? I'm on the Sunshine Coast and am wondering if I'd have to travel to Brisbane or somewhere for it.

I currently live on the Gold Coast but I travelled to brisbane for the Medical examination. You will be given a list of approved medical examiners who are under contract with Qantas, in which you can choose from depending on your location. By memory the designated practices are located in the main cities i.e Brisbane, New south wales, perth etc So depending where you are you might have to travel. They are pretty thorough, you will undergo a Drug and Alcohol test, hearing test, vision, ear pressure, lung capacity, flexibility, balance and co-ordination and general health. I had to get some vaccinations such as hep B and C but you must provide a vaccination record. All up my medical cost around $420! Money well spent though
