I've just finish training (yay), from my understanding they do all the references checks and everyone goes to executive review and they start culling from then on, unfornately patience is a virtue in this industry.

Hey,
Wednesday, Big TIP don't stress and if your not sure about anything ASK, the trainers are there to help clarify anything you don't understand.
Once you get through EP's, service training is alot more fun.
goodluck

Just put in my application for MAM for perth
I don't know if I could handle 7 weeks away from my kids. But will have to cross that when the time comes i guess.
Anyone doing the training, when you have a spare moment could you fill us in on how it is going.

congratulations
I start on 10th Feb and can't wait. Did you find the training intense and difficult? What was the hardest thing?
Thank for any info

They cull at each stage.
I was culled after the reference checks (3-4 months ago) and i got a random call last Wednesday saying they reviewed my application and would like to offer me a position pending executive approval.
I jumped medicals/security as I've already done it with Jetstar, of whom, I start with this Monday.
Hence my frustration, as If i don't hear, I have to start with Jetstar and then resign when/if exec. approval goes through.
But I'm not going to get out of Jetstar now on an " 'if' exec. approval is successful"
once again -

Does mam know that you're starting with jetstar? Wouldn't they be a bit funny with you starting and knowing that? I have no idea how it works but if they know you start Monday, from a company point of view wouldn't they find it strange you'd start then leave?*
Like I said I have no idea. I just thought if one was offered 2 positions I'd keep it a secret to the other company vice Versa.*
But I guess you had no idea MAM was going to offer you a spot which you couldn't have done anything about it guess. Good luck though!

They should know. Qantas had to get my medical and security documents from Jetstar.
If they ask me than i'll speak openly and honestly about it.
I guess I'll find out on the first day!

I'd say, if you're healthy inside and out and don't have any mobility problems than consider yourself passed.
Also, with uni, I'm pretty sure you won't be able to get the days off each week to go to school as you can only have X amount of days off in a row...maybe consider dropping out if you get an offer?
This is from the MAM website - 21. If I have another commitment (eg. University every Monday and Tuesday), can MAM arrange a roster to suit my days off?
A: No, you can only request 3 consecutive days off per roster month.

Roster info
Hi guys,
Just wondering if you could help me I'm a bit worried about working as a casual and job security and definatly getting enough hours each month.
Do you always get rostered 20 days each month or can it be less if they don't need you? As you don't get paid if you don't work, just wanted to confirm this ?
Is it still correct that you have to take 4 weeks off all together once a year?
Thanks for the info

this is what ive been told from others who are currently working for MAM. you will get a guaranteed of 80 hours a month. it could be a mix of flying duties and home reserve, or even a whole month of home reserve if its a slow period. but remember, you will get paid for those home reserve (4 hours so about $120 or more).
so to answer your question, if they don't need you for flying duties, then yes they wont pay you because you are not working, but to make up your hours of 80 hours a month, they will most probably put you on home reserve, which then you will get paid even if you don't get called out.
so don't worry about it because im sure you will be fine financially =)
