Altara SEQ Casual Cabin Crew
 

Are there any companies that hire casual cabin crew for Brisbane?

I know Altara have applications open for Sydney & Melbourne, but I was wondering whether I should hold my breath for something in Brisbane.

Thanks!

Hi Ilana182.
I too have been waiting for almost 2 years for a BNE/OOL based Cabin Crew position. I have been holding out for Jetstar to hire for their SEQ base but with no luck. I was sooo excited in Dec when the Casual Cabin Crew job was posted for OOL and applied instantly only to have Altara take over from TMS and cancel the OOL recruitment plans. I emailed Altara to find out if they will be recruiting for Gold Coast any time soon & they said no. I also got an email from someone in HR from Team Jetstar saying that they had no plans at the moment to hire for Jetstar's BNE/OOL dual base and I heard that Virgin Blue apparently are only taking internal transfers to their BNE base from other bases. MAM have a base in BNE and are accepting interest at the moment. Im not sure about QCCA. I know how you feel, its frustrating! Good luck and hopefully someone hires in BNE for you soon!:ok:

Hi Ellie

Thanks so much for the response, you had much more answers than I expected! How very frustrating ... I got so excited when VA started recruiting for BNE in December, and was crushed when they cancelled it! I went for Qantaslink at the end of last year as well, but was unsuccessful unfortunately. I guess we'll just have to be patient keep our eyes peeled!

Hi guys
would you consider relocating to start your flying careers? I have lived in 4 different cities throughout my flying career and was finally offered a basing in the city of my choice last year. You often find many crew have relocated in the past in order to get the job they want. Worth thinking about if you are in a situation where you can move to another city.

I've definitely considered moving to Sydney or Melbourne, but my partner isn't going to budge. It sucks, but I've gotten used to the fact that we'll be staying in QLD.

My friend from Brisbane moved to Darwin to work for Strategic back in September last year, and was lucky enough to get a transfer to Brisbane base not long ago, which is very good because it was thought you'd have to wait atleast 12 months till you transfer. So maybe try get your foot in the door somewhere and move somewhere for a couple of months & apply for a transfer? It may be your only way to get a job in SEQ as I believe within VB/Qantas/JQ it is a highly sort after base and they usually give the positions to internal applicants before opening it to the public. I understand the situation with your partner would be very difficult, but sometimes you gotta do something for yourself to let you live your dreams, if they love you and want to be with you they will understand and support it.

Thanks for the help KK1000, I'll see what I can do!

Casual Cabin Crew SEQ base recruiting now!!!
 

Hi all,

Altara are currently recruiting for their SEQ base presumably on behalf of Team Jetstar still. Yay, finally!!! Go to the Altara website to apply. Good luck to all!!!:ok:

Thanks for the heads up ellie!

Thanks again for the info Ellie! I got an email from Altara to say I made it through to the RD round. They didn't give any dates or times or anything though? Does anyone know if they send another email with this info!?

Casual Cabin Crew - Altara
 

Hi ilana182,

Yap i have received same info. RD is not yet finalized they will confirm the final date/s thru email.

Good luck and keep in touch.:ok:

Thanks for the help coffeeortea. I was wondering also, it said on the application that you must be able to work 15 days a month. Does that mean you get to work at least 15 days a month, or that you can work UP TO 15 days a month?

hi ilana182,

that's a nice quiry...me too im not so sure of this...

thanks:rolleyes:

Hi Ilana182, its my pleasure letting you guys know about any airline recruitment. I got through to the RD stage with Altara also but didnt get a date or anything. I guess they will let us know when they have a date set up. Did you also get the email from Team Jetstar referring you to apply through Altara? I am sooo excited at the prospect of being able to live near Gold Coast and be Cabin Crew! Good luck to all who applied and keep us all updated on any new developments!:)

ilana182,

You have to nominate a minimum of 15 days availability but you are not guaranteed any amount of hours, though there are heaps of pregnant ladies due in the next few months and lots of people waiting to take leave not to mention already short staffed so apparently there will be plenty of hours if we want them! but you will be given shifts within those days, not every day if you get what i mean. You could nominate to be available every day, then you would have the opportunity to be exposed to the most amount of shifts, or if you only wanted it as a casual job or you are studying you could work it around that too. PS of the 15 days, 4 days have to be weekend days (sat or sun).

Hope that helps - ps its awesome

Do you get Jetstar/Qantas staff travel benefits if you work for them through Altara?

No, you don't get staff travel as a casual with Altara. One of my friends was offered a position with Altara in Sydney for Jetstar but declined as although the pay was ok, there were no staff travel benefits......

Altara/Jetstar Interviews
 

Hi,

has anyone who applied for the most recent round of recruitment for Altara/Jetstar received any information about the assesssment centre dates yet, or know when/where they will be? (for SEQ base mainly) I emailed them but havnt got a reply as yet. I have my brothers wedding in a couple of weeks & didnt want to miss an interview! I read that it will be end of this month or start of next month....thanks:)

Yeah I emailed them a while back and they just end of this month / start of April ... and to just keep an eye in your inbox for the set dates. I'm going overseas next week so I'm really hoping they don't schedule them for next week!

Altara Assessment Centre
 

Hi guys.

I got an email from Altara today letting me know that there is presently no recruitment day set up in my 'chosen location' (SEQ base) but they expect to have one in the next 6-8 weeks! They will let us know by email when this happens. Fingers crossed its sooner! Waiting is the worst!:ugh:
