Hi Caitrose - Yes I have had the exact same experience during the same timeline as you. I was offered Sydney base in August but after talking it through with a HR team member I decided commuting wasn’t going to work with my family so I chose to stay on the Melb hold list and was told not to expect to hear anything more until the new year so still waiting for any further updates. 🤞🤞🤞 apparently they were initially told to fill 6 Melb GS but then it was cut back to 2 so the 2 ground schools were mainly filled with internals who didn’t have to pass the security checks as they were working crew. I believe there will be more Melb GS in the new year but it’s a waiting game for sure. Have you heard anything more or did you take Sydney base?
This is such great news for you!! I’m so glad your keeping positive (unlike me haha) I was also put on hold in August and offered a Sydney based position however turned it down also. I emailed qantas people services to see if there was an update on ground school dates back in November but nothing was confirmed or scheduled.
Have you heard much else since?! Praying something comes available in the new year!

Hi Danigirl and Caitrose, I am on the exact timeline as you both!
May 2019 was my AD in Melbourne, etc. We may have met!
I then spoke about the Sydney opportunity a few times with Qantas Talent Recruitment, and also discussed it with my partner. They mentioned you're able to be placed in SYD base and then request to transfer to MLB. However, you have to wait the 6 month probation to apply to transfer and apparently some girls have been on the transfer list for about 2 years. So it was an instant no for me as I have already lived in Sydney previously!
Do you have any indication at all, or have you heard of anything about GS in Melbourne? Our 1 year hold mark ends in May, do you think they would extend this if they didn't have any GS happening?
It's my 30th Birthday coming up and my partner is finding it hard to plan something special away as we have no indication whatsoever.
Have you guys had your medical yet? I am sure we'd have a couple weeks notice for medical, and then a month notice if we are offered a GS date, right?
I've been more than happy to push everything aside the past year in-case, but now it's getting a little hard to plan things! Especially for my birthday and anniversary.
Goodluck Girls! xx

Medical stage
Hi again everyone - sorry for the second message in a row!
I am wondering about the medical and rsa stages etc..
as mentioned in my prev post I’ve been going through the process since AD in April/May 2019! And all of the references and background checks etc were done last year. I’m on hold for Melbourne GS..:
Does anybody have an idea idea of how much notice they give you between your call regarding medical checks and aural GS? And what the process is? I’m on hold but I feel it would be easier if they asked me to have these done now rather than last min!
any insight would be greatly appreciated as we aren’t planning a little holiday.. if I feel like it will be a rush when getting my medical call then perhaps we won’t go away...
thanks!

From what I remember at the assessment day, the medical is only valid for 3months and can expire if completed too far in advance. Because of the cost involved, you will only move forward to medical check once a ground school is planned.

I would get your RSA immediately if you haven’t already. Like tomorrow. It will be one less thing you have to chase up.

Hi Everyone
I'm brand new to this forum and so happy to have found you all. I went to an assessment day in Sydney last year in November. I'm waiting for my final green tick and it seems to be going very slowly. Anyone else in the same boat. This process certainly teaches us to be patient. Well done everyone for making it this far.
PS Has anyone heard of any ground schools coming up in Sydney?

Training scheduled for Jan Feb March
Hi everyone! I’m a current QCCA FA (Previously MAM Casual) I use to come on here all the time when I was applying for MAM so reading all your posts takes me back to those days!
Just letting you know that I’ve heard that there are QCCA initial classes scheduled for Jan Feb Mar, hopefully some of you guys will get your call and training date soon!
Good luck to you all!

Reapplying to QF
Hi everyone,
When QF says to wait 12 months to reapply after being unsuccessful, do you really need to wait that long or can you use a different email address and wait say, 6 months? I feel like they get enough applications in that time to not notice.

I'm trying to get excited about the role again.. It comes in waves when you've been waiting a whole year!
Side note - Do you think it would be a Vic RSA? Considering it's an Australian Company? Or is there a special intentional version..

Long wait - MEL GS
Hey girls!!
Ive been reading all your threads and I feel so good knowing I haven’t been the only one on hold from Melbourne!! Bellamia, I also applied waaay back last May! It’s been so depressing hey? Haha fingers crossed we hear soon as I literally have been walking on eggshells with time off/not knowing to take holidays 😔

I have absolutely been walking on eggshells this entire time with taking a holiday! I feel like it's safe to wing it for a last minute travel break at the beginning on April, after reading answers to my questions about notice given etc. Especially considering once we begin we won't be taking any holidays for the rest of the year!
Thoughts?

[QUOTE=Bellamia;10678157]Dreamergirl, so nice to hear form somebody in the exact same boat as me! (with City base)
Omg I know! I’m so curious as to how many of us there is as well!! And yeah I feel like surely they’d give us at least 2-3 weeks notice but I have a gut feeling they’re gonna contact us around March for some reason, so maybe only book your trip a week or so in advance just in case so you don’t lose money? 😟 it’s soo stressful not knowing 😭
