QFlink-Cabincrew - I was at the Sydney one in December and I have had references checked, medical and security done and was told that I would be on the ground school starting on the 20th Feb, but I am still waiting on them to confirm that, given that its only a week away I am getting kind of nervous. I know they are running quite a few ground schools so fingers crossed you hear something soon.

Hi Marley, :-) I totally will let you know how it goes. I am Syd base and I am training with perth based crew. I wish you all the best with you A/D :-)

So I hear that MAM casuals recruited to work for Qantas are more often than not offered the QD fulltime contract after about a year of being casual...can anyone confirm this as definitely true?

Hi guys.

Iam planning on returning to Melbourne to live in 12 months time,and want to keep my flying career going(currently a cabin manager for easyJet).

How hard is it to get into Qantas domestic in Australia,what is the usual waiting time for hearing about applictions(should I apply prior to leaving the UK).
What's the starting salary?
Any info would be appreciated.

MAM Recruitment.

Hi everyone,
I attended the MAM Recruitment Day on the 31/1 and got through to the panel interview. On the 2/2 I received an email saying they were contacting my references. Its now 3 weeks later and my references still haven't been contacted. Just wondering if this is normal or should I be worried?

Thanks, Kate.

KAATE
I would not worry to much - they have a huge back log of applications.

So excited got an invite to QFLink AD - will have to choose between regional and domestic?
Fulltime contract with QF or casual contract with MAM and which will be friendlier to my family

[KAAATE]

Progress.

Good news! My references were finally contacted today!
Does anyone know how long after reference checks you are asked for medicals etc.. ?

Kaate, don't hold your breath. Honestly.

I attended an ad in early January. My refs were contacted 2 days after.
No word yet only an email saying they are back logged and to wait. You'll get contact when you get it.

So I'm still waiting so is everyone from my ad.

So consider us backlog and be prepared to wait longer than us.
Don't quit your day job.
I've only known of Perth people going quicker. 2 months of waiting for me.
Sydney is super busy!
Don't stress about it just try forget. The only way

Confirmation of me going to the AD for QFLink 8th March for Perth Base. Yay so excited.

Also put an application in for Skywest - Perth

Any one been to a QFLink AD would it run on the same lines as of the MAM AD ? Help would be truly appreciated

[KAAATE]

Lol its a little hard to just 'forget' Sydneysider88. I'm just happy to know they haven't forgotten about me. Can't wait to get out of my ****ty job that i have now and start a career and start earning some decent $$.

Did anyone else on here attend the recruitment day/ panel interview in Melbourne on the 31st of Jan?

Mam recruitment drive Bne

I had my panel interview in Brisbane on 9th February and got the email Re- reference checking 1 week later. Mam finally rang me to confirm my references and then rang my two referees on 2nd March. Referees said all went well - long phone conversations with staff from recruiting though - quite thorough. They asked the kind of q's you'd expect; Does she work well in a team, can she anticipate situations of conflict and how does she deal with them, how does she cope with people from various cultures, ages etc, tell us about her job description, why did she leave... nothing unexpected or unusual, just very thorough. Am now waiting with you Kaaate for a medical/security check email. This whole process is making me OCD - I'm constantly running now to the phone, and checking emails... I'm holding out on the hope thought that Mam wouldn't waste all that time on referee checks and then say thanks but no thanks unless the calls to referees didn't go well. I exchanged phone numbers with two other women from my interview day and we are now all at the same stage of recruitment. Waiting, waiting.. Can anyone advise on what immunisations they want proof of. From what I can gather from other threads - MMR, Hep. strains, Aids, an OPG, anything else?

[chicka]

Hey Marly the Qlink day runs pretty much like the MAM one The recruitment team for Qlink are awesome as are all the staff that work over there, I am currently training with 2 girls for the perth base and they are so lovely, and I hear the perth base is fantastic.

Training is going well we are about to start week 3 of ground school, its been a pretty hectic schedule but has been great and everyone in the ground school is so lovely just can't wait to get online and flying again :-)

Hay thanks for that info - I have to interviews next week the QFlink one on the 8th and 7th for Cobham for the QFlink B717 crew.

Glad to hear that you are enjoying ground school, I hope to be there soon - with which ever airline hires me.

[KAAATE]

WOOOOO!

So i finally got the email for my medical and security check! If i pass these is it straight into training or is there another process before that?
Is the medical hard? and how much does it cost?

Kate.
