Overnight allowances once you commence flying will be an essential part of bringing up that pay. That's why you may want a US trip for example, I think at least one or more of those a month. And there will be opportunities for those that want to grow to pursue CSS/CSM roles in time. Also some crew have side gigs.
I hear you though with cost of living rising though I sometimes wonder how I'll get on! I guess it's one of those jobs you do for the love of it, not for the money but we still need to afford to live decent lives. When I think about how much more expensive it is to pay a mortgage/rent than when I first applied and budgeted for a pay decrease... there's no doubt it's getting harder for everyone but I especially think of Sydney folks paying rent or mortgages. Basic pay of $700pw in the very beginning might leave not much after rent for some but it will soon improve and hopefully rising cost of living calms down a bit in the coming months.

Has anyone on this thread recently applied for the position and awaiting to hear back after doing the questionnaire?
I did my application at the beginning of Feb and was sent the questionnaire the next day and have yet to hear back, I know they have now removed the job listing off the website, just hope my application hasn’t been lost in limbo

Attended AD 1sr December waiting …… now hearing that external recruitment for Sydney has stopped while they recruit the MAM and Altara casuals into QCCA. Anyone else waiting for golden call? Any MAM or Altara crew now in QCCA? Qantas also calling crew back that took redundancy during COVID.

I've just submitted my application for the casual Qantas Crew position base din Sydney - I'll let you know how I progress! It sounds like I just missed out on applying for the full-time international position

Take my advice, DON'T do it.
If all you wanna do is just flying then casual is a good point of entry but it's definitely not a bridge to fast track over to international.
When you apply internally as a casual, you will be put on hold and that could easily be 12 months or more.
If you want to do full time domestic then it's a much faster transfer from casual.
My advice is, apply for other airlines but Qantas and Jetstar [ MAM, Altara domestic, Altara Qantas link, Altara Jetstar, Qantaslink ]. If international comes up in 3 months time you can easily apply externally and get through faster.
If you are a casual you won't be able to apply for any full time positions until you have been in the role for 12 months then not to mention the exhausting waiting time if you are successful. You could easily be looking at 2 years!
A lot of MAM and Altara casuals are just sitting and waiting to go over to international while people from outside are streaming through at light speed... 😯
Think very carefully..... seriously long and hard....

Hello. What do you mean by external recruitment has stopped? Do you mean the QF int. CC advertisement position published online or the recruitment stage of existing people with final pending steps (Bodycare booking, ACIC, contract offer)?

I don't have a crystal ball:
QF recruitment internal vs external, 2022 vs. 2023, SYD vs. MEL base, snail pace vs lightspeed, ☯️
Whatever you read a year ago might not be applicable as things change hence the accuracy of information may not be applicable to me or you.
I seek likeminded people who are more or less with similar AD 7 March 2023 SYD being successful for next stage awaiting for Bodycare booking, ACIC clearance.
Maybe there is someone who can shed some light into its current process 💫?
I am an external applicant currently living in Melbourne. Feel free to reach out per private msg. I also seek a room in Sydney if this is going to work out. Would be great to share an apartment with someone in similar situation than me, even if its temporary. I worked as a CC for many years before ✌️
AND hey.. lets be all optimistic. We did and do everything we can and its up to the universe where the next will lead us 🌠

Hi I applied for international cc syd based currently living in melbourne. I am just waiting on my golden call and I realized that melb based is opened for international cc applicants. Should I wait for a golden call or is it possible to re apply as a mel base? Thank you

Just wondering, where is the 26th April GS being held??
Does anyone know if it’s usually only one Abu Dhabi GS per month or is it just random..?
also I haven’t seen anyone say they’ve been allocated London GS, is London not part of the GS location anymore?
Thanks!

Externals
Hey everyone! Just wondering if anyone who has transferred from the Sydney to Melbourne pool have received the golden call? I saw that an ad was put up for Melbourne crew a week ago... Hopefully this means we will hear back in the next few weeks. The waiting game is killing me... 
Wondering if there are others who attended the Sydney AD on 29th Nov still waiting too?
