Absolutely correct CassieFlyGirl87 - Well done and thanks

tight slot.
 

uhmmm if you read it carefully i have never mention any hotel that crew stay at up there.. If you read carefully, i was asking if Estactic has been offered Altara tiger or JQ. and i am pretty sure that is not against the rule.


Estactic, ye i work for Tiger for about a year, let just say it will teach you how to be patience.. I enjoy the job it self a lot (except for training balls breaker that is but can be fun as well esepcially the slide bit haha) but working with any other company will feels like heaven after u leave there. However being Cabin crew i find is really rewarding plus u also got to have the blood for it. I work a few office job and checking in for another carrier, ye it was fun but not the same. but i can tell u is that u will know if its for you or not very early after u get online.

... nobody was talking about you, or your posts: We were referring to somebody else's post that they had the good sense to delete having named crew accommodation

Sadly, your brain appears to have remained in neutral, as you have posted above in Text Speak and thereby earned yourself a thread ban: Doesn't seem to have been one of your better days all in all.

MAM recruitment on hold
 

Im one of the many thats application process has been put on hold :( I recieved an email prob 2 months ago now saying that all applications have been put on hold for this date. I have heard nothing since. Its frustrating and am slowly loosing hope that I will get a Ground School date. As thats the stage im up too. All refrences checked and Medicals done.. Now i just wait and hope that some Ground Schools become available.

Hi I ram,

I know how frustrating it is but from what I hear, they seem to be going ahead with the recruitment so hopefully they will get back to you. Don't give up, mate

Question about how many hours a week
 

Hey guys,

Just wanted to know , approximately how many hours a week would we be working. I am aware that it's 20 days a month, but does anyone know hiw many hours a day/week?

Would appreciate any comments.

;)

It completely varies. I've had shifts ranging from four hours to eleven hours - that depends on what flights and how many legs you do. Some weeks you'll be flat out and others you might be on home reserve and not get called out at all (and hours vary from base to base too). It is relatively quiet at the moment across most bases, but before the quiet period I was working 140 hours each month since I started. Last month I did about 110, with almost two weeks of home reserve with no call out. You'll definitely need to keep this in mind when budgeting as no week is the same.

Thanks so much for that.

Are you enjoying your work there?

Absolutely love it! Best change I've ever made :-)

Oh that's good. ;)

Nervous about the swimming test
 

Hey guys,

One thing I am concerned about is the swimming test. I am a basic swimmer and not very experienced. For instance, I might find treading water a bit difficult , or dragging someone in the water whilst swimming. :(.

Are the trainers strict about this ?

Mate you will be fine. If you can swim all is good. If you are worried, book in for some adult swim lessons, just 2-3 to improve your confidence/ability. I'm a good swimmer but I can tell you now it was easy. We were in the pool for about 2 hours, and there is a lot of treading water, but you're sorta moving around etc. That wasn't tested, if you needed to just mention that you're not the most confident swimmer around and hang by the side in the down time.

As for the actual test, its about 20 m across the pool, any stroke, can take as long as you like. at the other end you grab someone and drag them. No special technique, and people float pretty well - they're wearing lifevests. all you have to do is grab their collar, and swim back, slow as you like, it really isn't something to lose sleep over :),

Hope this helps :)

Oh thanks so much for that :-).

So, you're in a life jacket even whilst treading?

Yep, lifejackets while treading water. And thats not tested, it's just impractical to get in and out of the water :P

Oh cool. Thanks a ton for that. It's much appreciated ;)). Have a fantastic weekend .

the golden phone call
 

recieved the golden phone call...starting on the 25th of july...anyone else here starting on yhe same date? :D

that was a very brief hold on recruiting

More recruitment? :-/ It's been so quiet (many of us are not getting much work) and they seem to have too many staff already? That's just my opinion though. Maybe they have a plan we aren't aware of.

TEXT SPEAK

Finally got the call!
 

Hi Beau-Tie after a long wait I also got the call and will be starting on 25th of July also. Can't wait!
