Qantas Domestic - Perth
 

This is carried over from the QCCA thread, since it relates to QD.

Brindabella, when is the new Qantas Recruitment Day?

Perth
 

With the domestic Perth Flight attendants. do they do any asia trips??

I just got this email from QD:

Dear

They told me the recruitment days would be Friday, Saturday and Sunday of this week. I get the feeling that they must be inviting a heap of people if they need to have 3 whole days of recruitment in the one city! I am going to the Saturday one anyway. Anyone else?

After the phone call I recieved on the 2nd, inviting me to the RD, they have sent me about three emails telling me what time and what to bring but the venue is 'still to be advised', which I found really weird. If I haven't heard anything tomorrow I will definitely be emailing them. What if I had put my name down for the Friday recruitment and they still hadn't told me where it was?

Maybe if they were having them in Brisbane!

But it's good to see they're doing it on the weekend, so people don't have to chuck sickies to get to them LOL

Base to choose
 

Hi there P Crew
Could anyone adivse if it is worth applying for more than one base? I'm happy to relocate to the moon if it means getting into the Airline...

CCC :ok:

Hi all,

Just a general question but does anyone know what routes Qantas Domestic fly? I tried to obtain the information via their website but when I click the domestic routes it shows Qantaslink routes. Where am I going wrong?

Are you trying this link?

Plan - Route Maps - International

Thanks Ilana182, that certainly did help. I was just using the recruitment page and was getting no where. Does anyone have any ideas about rosters and what sort of trips are available? Correct me if im wrong but I thought that domestic crew can also short haul international flying? Any info would be great.

Hey guys, just a thumbs up... hope you realise, MAM is now defunct and their services are no longer employed by Qantas whatsoever. I had a long flight from Singapore to Frankfurt last week, and spoke to the team leader of the flight attendants and he was telling me lots of info, and that now Qantas will be doing the recruitment themselves. Also, he mentioned the pays have been sliced terrible (he's been working with them for 25yrs!!) and its not good news for newbies... still, I shall be trying when I return to Oz (damn about there being huge recruitment drives now whilst I'm living in Europe!!)

Good luck to all you wannabes :p

The 2008 EBA contract for QD used to be available online, but I've just checked now and it appears to have been removed. The pay isn't that bad, esp compared to Jetstar and others. DTA and other conditions are much the same. I think anybody would be hard pressed finding a single airline in the world that pays exceptionally well anymore for newbies. The golden days (pays) of flying are long gone - if you're only in it for the money you'd be better off finding a different job.

Qantas does still employ services from MAM. I work with crew from MAM quite frequently.

Scoobydoodoo,

just spoke with a friend of my who is employed by MAM, and he is still flying Qantas, may be the FA you spoke to is just hoping MAM would go away or become defunct. :confused::confused:

Whats going on????
 

:eek: Hi all! This is great to see that recruitment has bee reborn again after such a long time!!

However, there are a pool of us like shortfinal737 (hello!!) who completed the interview process 1 year ago. We have had pretty thorough communication from Qantas during this time keeping us updated with where we are at. Recent information from Qantas regarding our positions which are on HOLD are as follows:

7th December 2009 - If recruitment recommenced before 1st June 2010, it is unlikely we would be required to undertake a new assessment center.

24th December 2009 - Qantas then requested an updated photo and CV from us also requesting new referees.

9th Feb 2010 - Thank you for passing on this information....We will keep you updated with the next steps.

So, where now?? Can somebody help me understand??? Do we now join everyone else at the recruitment day with only 2 days notice??????????It seems klike this communication is now at a dead end??

What do you think shortfinal or anybody else who has been successful and on hold?

Good luck everybody!

Answer to your question. No, Perth crew at the moment do domestic flying only no Asia trips.

Hey, im an attending the recruitment day in perth this wkend. I just realised my passport only has 7 months left on it instead of a yr.
Do you think this will be ok as I wont be able to get a new one in time?

I think it only has to have a minimum of 6 months left on it, so you should just scrape in.

Thanks, I will be getting a new one soon any way so hopefully they will be fine with it.

hey guys...
 

A good sign! Good to see recruitment has been reborn once again......!

you normally need to present a passport with 12 months validity with your application on the recruitment day, however I would guess the recruiters would be pretty lenient considering they need to hire crew quickly as crewing numbers are about to become short - especially in the base you're applying to. I would say they would probably just ask you to apply for a new one ASAP
