no. i don't know anything...makes it a bit difficult to make a decision..can we assume the pay will be the same as discussed for longhaul? i'm tempted to wait for longhaul but on the other hand the experience that i could gain from working shorthaul would make an application later for longhaul a lot easier...hopefully..and theoretically..hee

Hiya,
i'll probably contact jetconnect early next week to ask a few questions but has anyone found out what the base is for shorthaul and what the likely untaxable earnings on top of that would be per year?
i wish i'd thought to write it down at the time but does anyone remember how long the training period was ...6 weeks?...and i don't think you got paid over that period hey? does anyone remember or know?

Hi Bert123,
not really. i left a voicemail but no-one returned my call..which is ok because i'd pretty much already made up my mind anyway. have decided to remain true to my original intentions which was to work longhaul so am remaining on the shortlist for now. we'll see how things are looking after 6 months!
Good luck with whichever path you have chosen!

Hey guys, I emailed some questions about SH too and got a reply to say that they will be in contact regarding my queries but still have not heard from them. If I still don't hear by tomorrow then I have also decided that I am going to wait for LH. What will you do Bert?

Hi all ,
I currently am a JC FA . the base salary is 28k or so per year average fortnight pay is over 1200 you get 4.50per hr DTA our contract i coming up for negotiations in the next few months.
As for going to LH from SH you can only apply after 12mths in which time if you get selected you go for an interview and so but its not a shoe in if you get it SH may not release you straight away due to operational requirements(i.e they still ned crew to fly sh)there are SH crew waiting to go across to Lh now they only release 2 crew per Lh training course so can take a 6-12 mths before training.
Hope that helps good luck

Hi everybody,
Just making sure you were all still there and hadn't started training without me. I've been reading the threads for qantas uk and australia. Some of their posts say January/February is when things will start again. Here's hoping.

Hey Bert
Yes still here, I don't know what to think anymore
Theres talk of a Qantas/Virgin Blue merger? Rumours though of course, I heard from someone who has contacts in Virgin..
Sigh.. feeling a bit deflated at the moment.. I really want this..

I heard there was a class who were notified that their training was due to start in September but was then postponed. Does anybody know if that class has resumed training now?

I've just read on the QCCA thread that Qantas is recruiting again for the Melbourne and Sydney bases. I also saw today on a website that Jetstar is advertising for cabin crew. This is a good sign if the Qantas group has resumed its recruiting. Hopefully Jetconnect will be soon.
