That's great
I haven't received mine yet. Do they allow you to do your medical at any GP or is there a particular doctor that they send you to?

I just completed my questionnaire and they said someone from bodycare will be in contact to book in for my medical.
I’m assuming it’s with a bodycare dr as I just paid something like $317...
i highly doubt they’ll let us go to any doctor, I think these people are proper workplace doctors

Yeah, I had 3 green ticks for about a week lol I was stressing a little bit, then I just reminded myself I’m no criminal lmao
once you get all green ticks you’ll get an email from bodycare to pay for the medical and then you’ll receive a text msg to do a online medical assessment and then a aptitude assessment. It’s basic questions like ‘in the last 12 months, have you injured yourself while drinking?’...I had a giggle at some of the questions Haha
But don’t stress too much if you haven’t got all your green ticks just yet, it just takes some time.

Hiii

[QUOTE=givemewings;10168138]So basically, the pay is the same as what C got 8-10 years ago. Yikes. OT at that time kicked in over 100 hours I think? And max 120? Or it was possibly OT after 120 and max 140, I can't recall.

#Givemewings .. are you in for Perth vacancies ? May i please ask what stage are u at ?

Hi everyone,

They said they are hiring for the busy period, December to March and then they went quite.

Does that mean after March you will be out of work or given like 2 flights a fortnight?

Also, they said our casuals have gone to become full time at Qantas. How long is the wait though?
​​​​​​
Are you able to transfer base if you are MAM?

Sorry, many questions I have... ?_?

When you're hired by MAM, they put you on a 'D contract'. This is a minimum of 14 shifts and maximum of 19 shifts per 28-day roster. However, you can pick up more shifts by calling crewing in Sydney. Crewing do your rosters and can see how many shifts you worked in previous months, and then assign base on this. Be eager for the shifts and you'll get shifts in return.

To transfer to Qantas mainline (and become full-time), you need to work for MAM for a year. This is due to MAM / Qantas rules where you need to work for MAM for a year before requesting a transfer with any Qantas subsidiary (Q catering, Qantas international) - however, you can apply for these if they're publicly hiring/advertising for positions.

And yes, you can transfer after a year.

Thanks danlloyd1 for the answers, appreciate it much

I think it's better to work for MAM and move up in the world to full time. Qantas international positions are competitive not mention the looooong wait for ground school, difficult but not impossible but.

Thanks for all that info danlloyd1, that answers a few questions that I had as well.

Have now received my medical email and have paid the fee and now waiting for them to contact me to make a booking

Has anybody heard any rumours about GS dates?
