9am? We didn't meet, I believe.
I was the girl with the scarf.
But, now that I said that, there was just too many peeps to keep an eye on someone's accessories
Congrats to you! It was a long wait for you, if I remember it well.
But, we're still only half way there.

I forgot to write something...
We were told by the recruiters that the recruitment was for BOTH fleets, so the information that it's only for A380 is wrong.
( I remember I read it in someone's post a few weeks before)
The smaller amount will be A380, and the bigger amount of ppl will be Main Fleet. After years spent on A380, I'm super excited just thinking of the possibility of going back to Main fleet.

I don't think they have made any decisions yet what the new recruits will be for as they are currently assessing where they need crew, and there is no information yet as to what the split between A380 and mainline will be.

The water competency certificate was requested at the AD on July 6 for me. They did, however, tell us not to be worried if you were missing something. It could be collected later. I think that it would be best to take it though. Things like RSA's and 1st Aid, that cost money, are probably OK to put off so that you don't outlay that expense until you are approved. It definitely looks good if you have everything that they require on your AD. Makes you look keen!
ON A SIDE NOTE .. any one from the July 6 AD had their references contacted? I received the email saying that I had been progressed to reference checks on Thursday but they haven't contacted them yet. Just curious!

Hey, Chicka, I'm no expert, but I'm sure they know what they're doing by now.
Just shared with the group what was said during 'questions & answers' time.
Apparently there's a significantly smaller need for A380 crew due to limited destinations and limited number of aircrafts.
That's what we were told and I decided to share it just as an update to a post I've seen before.
I don't really see how that would matter anyways at this stage to anyone here, as I'm sure we'd all love and enjoy both options and the opportunities they bring.
Let's focus on being good team players and not spam the forum with what's irrelevant.
It's more important to be a support to the ones here still waiting to be called or e-mailed, internal or external.
We're all in the same boat here... and the ship has not yet sailed.

Update for the internals who would qualify for a conversion course and not a full ground school. These courses are scheduled starting sept. Just to give you a rough idea on the timeframe

Hi Everyone
Just wondering if people that received Assessment Day emails also received the email to do the Hogan Assessment (True/False assessment). I completed it last night. Also just wanted to to if people are getting their ID documents verified by qualified person such as police etc, or whether they are just bringing the 2 copies of ID docs as statement. It said in the email see attached document re: ASIC form but I didn't get that document.

Mn64 it is possible to earn between $1800 per fortnight, it depends on the trips you do. For an A380 flight attendant the duty hours for Dallas is 35:50 hrs Dubai is 31:55 and LA is 32:05 so a roster build for A380 would consist of these trips making up 220hrs ( sorry I don't have the flight hours for mainline) So you get your base pay per fortnight which would roughly be $1359 (after tax) whether you fly or not (so if your on reserve and you don't get called out you still get paid your base salary) then if you fly on top you get paid over time, incidental allowances etc. so it is quite possible to earn $1800. I totally understand it's hard to get your head around it, before starting, you will also get a cash allowance when you get to the hotel of each slip port, this is given to you at the time of checking in, this is your meal allowance for your time in the slip port paid in the countrys currency. A lot of crew spend a little of this and save it up the rest and then convert it when the exchange rate is good, this allowance is also tax free. 😊 I hope this helps and Its not to confusing 😊😊😊

The A380 flies to Dallas, LA, Dubai, London (but I think crewed by the London base), and seasonally, Hong Kong. Being trained on the 747 & 330 should mean a bit more variety.

For Mainline, there is Santiago, Johanesburg, Hong Kong, Singapore, LA, New York (although I think AA have taken over the LAX/JFK Sectors), Auckland and Narita. Johanesburg, Santiago, LA and Narita are very senior trips as the remaining QAL crew bid for these so they can get their long range allowance and with Narita it is because of the meal allowance. So for QCCA operating on mainline fleet the chances of getting the long range flying and Narita rostered are low although it is not to say you won't get them but not all the time. I have a friend who is a QCCA CSS on mainline and she is basically doing back to back Hong Kong and Singapores. 😊

Does anyone know at what stage we are required to do the Hogan's Personality Test? I heard someone mention it in this thread earlier. I'm assuming it is done at the medical/police check stage. Is it done online and how many questions does it contain?
