Hi Aaron,
because I hate to be late for anything it looks like you and I may be the first two there on Tue.
Yes - I was offered full time work with Tiger earlier this year but that would have been out of Tulla and because I live down the coast past Geelong you can see how perfect AVV would be for me. I was told that when full time recruitment comes up for AVV I would be called in for a 20 min chat and skip the rest - but the other day was told they (Tiger) were not sure when the next full time recruitment would be, so thought I had better take this while its there.
I also started ground school (full time) with Team Jetstar about 2 years back, but again being out of MEL it didn't work out.
Would agree with Lady that yes - full time would be much better.

oh well...lets give it a go..!!

Gday
 

Hi Rmondo

Well Im sure your already in, quite experience with cabin crew interviews. Im the opposite to you, im closer to Altona so Tulla is pref however Avalon is ok sort of but got given that pref (i guess not to many people express interest with AVV), Rmondo can you remember what the group interview was like with Tiger before you got offered full time and also the people who observe do they actually make you relax it can be quite distracting when you know interviewers are taking notes on your table and right next to you lol something I have to deal with, anyway looks like your in already and know what to expect see you on Tuesday AROUND 7:30ISH

Soooo does anyone know if they got through yet?

Did they say where your training would be held??

I am assuming that it would be at Essendon airport...??

I wonder if they will use the Qantas training centre? I guess so

Yea the Qantas centre is used for the practical side of the training but the theory should be done in a classroom.. but I am not sure where Altara do their training..? I guess we will find out soon enough :)

Hi guys,

I will also be attending AVV interviews on the 27th, so I'll see you there!
Although I won't know who you are :)

I could not go through tiger since I could not committ to start immediately and I have not heard back from them.

I also received another email from Altara telling me that I have been invited for an assessment day. However, it is with Jetstar. I misread it, thought it was with tiger.

The assessment day is sometime in August.

Was the Altara invitation re jetstar for MEL/AVV duel base or just MEL?
I was wondering if jetstar may look at starting a Avalon only base as well, following in the footsteps of Tiger...?

Hi Rmondo

Not sure. All it says is MEL, SYD or QLD as preferred base.
Then you get an email saying that I you are invited to attend an assessment day in your chosen location which could be within weeks or months depending on their recruitment requirements.

I called them up and they said it will be sometime in August.

You will have to call and ask about Avalon.

has anyone heard anything about ground school yet for tiger?

Yes I have.. Ground school for Tullamarine training should be commencing on the 16th August.. apparently.. was meant to be next week but it has been delayed. I was shattered, I really wanted to start next week.

Tullamarine Crew
 

Hey guys.. Just wondering how many people know if they were successful with the Tullamarine base yet? I just want to meet everyone that I will be training with.:ok:

Jetstar already have a crew for Avalon.. But still if you go for it - You may get the odd Avalon shift.

Same with Tiger.. What ever your main base will be.. They can still get you to work at both airports and you will generally have to sign a piece of paper about agreeing to dual base.

Has anyone heard about their Tiger interviews? how did they go?

hi brendy,
yep, from Tue 27th Avalon interviews I think 24 of us were left after about 15 were culled.
We were told at the end of the day that we were successful and offered employment right then and there - all a bit quick really. Evan fitted for our uniform before we left !!

Rmondo, is the uniform still the yellow shirt that resembles a pilot shirt or have they updated it again for the tenth time?

Sunstar320,
the uni-shirts we tried on for size were all white but I'm guessing that these were only 'demo' shirts used only to get sizes. there were two female interviewers who were also working cabin crew and they were wearing the 'normal' yellow cotton shirt with rolled up sleeves, so I don't think the colours/uniform has changed.

I am sorry and really hope I dont sound stupid.. but who are these shirts for? And what group are you guys in?

Ladyj1
the shirts we tried on for uniform fitting was last Tue at the end of the assessment day for Avalon.
so the yellow cotton shirts will be for the Avalon crew when AVV opens in Nov. although the first month we were told will be out of Tulla to get a month of experience under our belt before going onto AVV.

hope that answers your question.

Hi Rmondo,

Thanks for this. So I'm guessing you are with Tiger? Have you heard when you are starting Ground School?

LadyJ:)

I know someone mentioned before that you don't get paid during training/ground school (as casuals).

Can someone confirm this? Did they say anything about it at the interview?

I was told Tiger Casuals get paid $1000 at completion of training.:)

just received an email from tiger, ground school will start possibly in september due to aircraft relocation.

Thanks for your reply LadyJ1 :)

I got invited to the interview for the Avalon intake, but turned it down because I prefer the Tullamarine base. I'm still considering Tiger though, if they do another intake in the future.

Good luck everyone!

also received email today saying my ground school will be starting Aug 23rd. and will run for about one month.
Will then be expected to work out of Tulla for 1.5 months until AVV starts up in Nov.
Correct - not paid for training but will receive $1000. after successful completion of training as a 'bonus'. better than nothing I guess.

Did anyone else who made it through the Tullamarine base cabin crew received an email regarding about the ground school being changed to possibly September??

Hi Oscar 2, I got the same email...so dissapointed want to start now.

LadyJ:sad:

Yes got the email also. Not happy at all. Because I had found out earlier, I had quit my jobs over a week ago (I have 3) laughs! But now I am only working 2 shifts a week and its frustrating because I also gave up my studies because I knew training was important because of what happened to me last time. And I do not like the sound of possibly starting in September... I need to know now because money doesnt grow on trees :{ I really hope it is September otherwise I am just going to have to try somewhere else.. as much as I love Tiger, I also like to live and that involves money.

tough call LadyJ,

I know these things can drag on - and as you say, we need to live and eat in the mean time.
It would be a shame to leave at this late stage though - hang in there as long as you can !! :ok:

I know, I guess I kind of gave up last year when I failed and now that I am back in, I just want to start.. I am over doing my other jobs.. plus I really want to meet you all *laughs* I am just glad I have parents that will help me out for the next month. I guess I now I have time to play around with hair and makeup... yes I am bored. :p

Hi ladyJ1,
Yes im disappointed to coz i resigned from my job and i was expecting to train around the 16th August. But i remember they were saying that they were going to confirm the start date. I guess that they have to clear all the obstacles and then training will start. Lucky we haven't lost anything yet we just have to play the waiting game!!!

I guess we shouldnt be sad because technically we still have our jobs.. but I dont know about you guys but Ive been sooooooooooooo bored at home. I just need to find something to fill out my days... something fun. I have a manual.. we should start studying. :ok:
