Hi supersonic flight, the hogan personality test is to be completed before your AD, so if you have received an email invitation to an AD, you would have received an email about doing the test, it's done online and I can't remember how many questions exactly but there are quite a few. Hope this helps 😊

Hogan Assessment
When I received my email to book Assessment Day I also received an email to do the Hogan Assessment. There were 2 to complete and the first had around 100 questions and the second over 200 questions. Just be honest with it and you will be fine.

Hello Chicka, thank you kindly for providing that information. Unfortunately, like a lot of people here, I am still waiting for AD.
Has anyone who's been invited to AD asked how many F/A they are looking to recruit? I've heard on the rumour mill that 300 F/A from L/H have taken voluntary redundancy and 200 from S/H have to go back by the end of August. That means a total of 500 F/A needs to be recruited? Again, this is just pure speculation, and if anyone can shed more light on the matter that would great.

Internals - next round
Just got an email to say I've been successful to the final round of the process - and they'll be in touch soon with a further update, an offer I'm guessing? Omg! Anybody else receive the same one?

Hi, Mn64!
I did mine 2 days ago (so after my AD and after getting the email I've been successful).
I was just like you, hesitating a bit when to do it, but had some extra time and did it on Monday.
They told me on AD that as long as you have it ready for the training, it's fine, (just to upload it under your profile later on) but not to wait till the last moment 'cause before they schedule you for ground school, they want to see your profile is complete.
cc123,
! well, done!!! nailed it!!

Hi Mn64, I used a Company called CBD for my first aid, I googled first aid courses and they offered an online course with 1 day practical to get my certificate, it cost $120. I also did my RSA years ago through TAFE, before they brought in the expiry date. Maybe Google both the RSA and First aid. Good luck 😊

NSW RSA Online alternate / RSA Online NSW New South Wales RSA Certificate / RSA Online Training / Home - RSA Online Course & Online RSA Certificate
...it's on discount ATM! All online. They send you a certificate on your e-mail and you can attach it straight away to your profile.
And FA I did also through CBD, like Chicka, but for 79$, I guess that was on special too!

All easy, just a bit time consuming...

I haven't worked on A380 but I have on mainline fleet 747/A330. I love the 747 it's an awesome aircraft, not a huge fan of the A330. But for destinations I would prefer A380, as I have flown the mainline destinations and it would be nice to have a change and also majority of my friends are on A380 too 😊

With the aircraft the 747 is fantastic, I love the economy and business class galleys, everything about the aircraft makes sense in relation to the emergency equipment onboard and it's just really nice to work on and there are bunks for crew rest. As for the A330 the layout is terrible the economy galley is always freezing, the business galley is ok, the emergency equipment is all over the place with no logic to it and crew rest is 4 seats.
All the long range flying 12hrs or more is operated by the 747 or A380 and the short range flying 11hrs or less is A330. Also at the end of this year or early next year Qantas is getting 787's which are long range aircraft so it will be interesting to see whether A380 crew get to operate it as well or if they replace the 747's and mainline crew get it.

as for days off I would have roughly 2-4 days at home before the next trip, sometime up to 8days at home between trips.
On average I was being rosters 2 LA, 2 joburg, 1 London, 1 Frankfurt, a HongKong, or Singapore trip or one we used to call the Singapore shuttle which is a 7 day trip flying back and forth from Perth to Singapore.
It's a great job, one I believe is the best in the world, and you will really love it 😊

This thread is so helpful! Just wondering I'm through to the reference check stage but people are telling me that this doesn't mean much and that they will still cut down from this?? I don't understand why they would bother even reference checking if they still don't have full intentions of taking you? Also, has anyone gotten past the reference check stage?
This wait is killing me
