Thanks for that, I am assuming it was just the normal questions they ask

im currently working at another domestic airline and considering applying, but im just not sure how stable it would be to move??? there just doesnt seem to be much expansion, and they dont really have much of a network. but from what ive heard the conditions are pretty good (plus i wouldnt mind getting sent to HKT every now and then!).

Can anyone tell me what the reserve period is for getting to the airport. Ie 2 hours 1.5 hours? I live south of brisbane and I am wanting to get back into flying after AN went bust. Although maybe not for another 12 months - have a toddler. How is the roster sorted? Bidding? Thanks in advance GG

Strategics future
 

Plans are to fly to Honolulu and Vietnam in the next 12 months. They are wanting to double staff in the next 12 months aswell. I think they are going to be expanding quite a bit.. probably will depend on how good they go with HKT and DPS flights

Strategic Info
 

Hi All

Have previously flown for another domestic Aus airline and wanna get back into flying. I have applied with Strategic but not heard anything yet. They say on the site that start date is 16th Jan. This is cutting it fine isnt it, considering the job ad was only posted a week ago.

Can anyone tell me what the rosters are like? I will be applying for Melbourne base. Are crew getting over nights? What are trhe slips like? Has anyone heard on current pay and conditions?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I spoke to a girl the other day who works for Strategic ... she said they get full time pay but only fly about once a week. They stay overnight in Bali etc and come back the next day. She said you do a lot of standby.

Layover
 

From Melbourne the layover in Phuket is 2 nights.. arrive afternoon in Phuket.. stay 2 nights.. then leave the third night late in the evening for an overnight flight. Brisbane to Bali is 1 night layover and I think Perth to Bali and Port Hedland to Bali are turnarounds because the flight is so short from those destinations. Check out there website and have a look at the timetables tab to see when the flights leave and when they return.

You get a tax free away from Base allowance which is calculated hourly for every hour you are away. Pay is quite good. You will be operating from different bases sometimes aswell. Other than the commercial flying, you will also be rostered on charter flights for strategic aswell.

They gave confirmation of who was hired a few weeks ago.. not sure if they are still interviewing as it is cutting it fine now for the training start date of 16 January.. considering you need ASIC card applications through and medical assessments etc done aswell.

Declined
 

I emailed Strategic today and got a "All Flight Attendant Positions have been filled for the next Ground School" reply.

Said they would keep my details on file for any future positions but were very vague and didn't say of anymore upcoming recruitment drives.

Oh well... Gunna try Qantas next...

REALLY wanna fly again soon!

Had an interview with Strategic yesterday for Melbourne base. Only 2 positions. Not sure exactly how many people they were interviewing though.

How did your interview go? Have you flown before?

Hey cptn,

Yeah worked for VB for 18 months. Got an email the other day that was unsuccessful. I knew they were only hiring 2 crew so Im sure there were plenty of other more experienced crew than I. Maybe the fact Ive never flown on Airbus may have hindered me too. I'll sit tight and re-apply in 6 months. I have also applied with VB again but they have a freeze on recruitment atm according to my insiders.

Strategic Airlines
 

Does anyone know who the management team are for this new start up in the UK this summer?:confused:

flystarboy, they have already recruited for UK operations,

Strategic Airlines
 

I've just seen that Strategic is recruiting for MEL based CC, but I've heard very little about the airline and their route/conditions etc.

Can anyone shed some light on them? Specifically for Melbourne based crew.

Thanks :)

Hey all, I'm also interested in any current info on this airline.
It appears to have ahd a refurb, and its marketing appears to be quite modern and professional.
Anyone who works there know anything?
Im hesitant to go back to the middle east so any other International options outside of JQ VA and QF are all on the table!

Strategic Conditions
 

It might be because they can't say anything.

Request as Cabin Crew
 

Hi Flier...ha, ha.:O

Wondering if your friend has any specific details on current recruitment process if enlisting for Cabin Crew with Air Australia/Strategic? Or even a helpful hand in? Be sure to offer the same courtesy when requested of me, regardless of your response. Thanks Hi-Flier.

Take care in the Air.
