Like you, my head is swimming with so much information, much of it at odds with itself! I'm remaining positive that my email request last week is a sign that we won't be waiting until 2023.....fingers crossed.

I received my water competency email last Thursday. Ive already submitted it. My AD was in early April. I hope this is a good sign but I guess until we do medicals it's a small step in the process.

Did you apply for MEL or SYD? I only applied for MEL base, however heard there weren't going to be any more assessment days for a while now.

Swim test

Hi all,

Just received the email for a swim test and called my local pool and said they don’t assess due to lifeguards not being under “Surf Life Saving Australia” and are with Royal Life Saving Society who don’t assess. Anyone else have this issue?

I applied for SYD base. Good luck with your application, I hope you hear soon.

Today I found out that the 3 planned August GS have internals from Qantas Group (Jetstar and QantasLink) in them also October. Apparently no external GS for QCCA till next year 2023 now. International travel is not back as fast as predicted.

thanks for the info! That’s exciting news!
do you know if applicants in these planned GS’s have already been contacted? Or are they working through it now?
also are they for Melbourne base?

I did mine yesterday at my local pool and no issue. I'm in Melb so not sure if you're in a different state. I'd just call another pool until someone says yes.

It's something they can get out of the way during this waiting period as it doesn't expire and the fact is if you don't pass you won't progress. Some of the ditching training requires being in a simulated ditching in actual water so cabin crew have to be able to swim. But it's still progress albeit slowly 🤞

Hi Skiesthedream

I work in the training centre a lot, when not flying.

The AUG planned training schedules are for Sydney base, mainly returning crew and internals from 2020 from JQ and QantasLink ect.

The internal hold list is quite big. Nothing for MEL base till October apparently. TA will have externals ready and waiting to slot in by that time when the checks have been completed to commence CCI still looking like end of 2022 bit more like 2023.

😉 Qantas International Assessment days have ceased for now. With the continuous recruitment from January, they have more applications on hold than positions that will be offered to those candidates that are successful to job offer stage. Qantas are still recruiting short haul casual FAs in Melbourne with Altara for B737 & A330 operations.

So…..some of us maybe not a successful candidate perhaps?? The water competency assessment just got me excited for nothing T_T

Absolutely! I'd already completed mine in May so it was easy to forward to the Recruitment Team. Like you, I'm taking a positive spin and regarding it as an encouraging step forward for something to happen in 2022.Here's hoping!

Fingers crossed ground schools start happening for those people who've progressed on here so there's hope for those of us who are still waiting to get an assessment day.

Workforce planing and forecasting for crew levels change almost daily. Qantas also commenced Long Haul recruitment for Jetconnect NZ and QFCCUK which now have commenced CCI training at least 3 CCI Jetconnect currently training for Qantas International operations. With these factors and current outlook reductions in initial QCCA numbers will occur. Once they short list the current active hold pool with the selected candidates for job offers, they may need to interview again for updated talent from the application list they have.

Hi, QF747438,

and roughly how many people there are totally in the active holding pool?
any idea?

Thanks djw024 but I have to say it would be a real shame to divert discussions away from this forum. You can also see the all chat history here.

All info from what I have seen has been exchanged in really good faith and is not so easily tracked to our identity, unlike Instagram or other apps. While we're not employees of the company personally I'll prefer to keep things on here.

Other than being a backup plan, would there be any advantage to applying for Short Haul Altara while we are waiting if we are already on the International hold pool for Melbourne base? ie. in terms of being considered as an internal transfer vs external if subsequently progressed for international from the hold pool?
