Finally Joined!
 

Hey All, I have finally joined this forum. I have been reading this thread over the last month and thought I should join! I did my AD in Perth in Feb, made it through the group activities and the panel interview. Got an email about a week later from MAM saying they were conducting ref checks. Had a phone call yesterday from cabin crew recruiting wanting to confirm a few details about my references that I had provided. I was then notified by one of my references that he was contacted and he said he felt it was like he was the one going for the job with the amount of questions they were asking! That is my journey so far, I know things take time, but also have a back up plan for when I discharge from the Armed Forces! I hope it is with Qantas though!!!! Wishing you all the best of luck!!! :)

MAM Qantas Fortnightly Salary
 

Hi,

I've scoured the pages of various MAM forums but have yet to determine an actual fortnightly take-home pay. I've read the EBA which breaks it down into hourly/duty time/allowances etc. - but it all depends on your roster.

Could anyone give me rough estimate of what you would be taking home in the hand per fortnight (after tax)?

Many thanks for your help!

Anyone got golden call recently? It seems like no one has heard any good news yet...

Still waiting from jan to hear anything. Emailed them, but theyre still busy with applications they said.

Maybe they should start dealing with the backlog/waitlists rather than keep recruiting, same goes for other airlines..

Yea I know... It is just hard to wait and have to keep going on as usual while you hope for a chance to start a new career...

i am goint to attend ad 2moro. could you gime me tips for group activities and penal?

Congrats Cabincrew88! Well done you must be super excited. So how long did you wait between your AD and your golden call?

Hey mine was pretty quick according to everyone else's standard...

AD on the 18th of January, medical offered on the 30th of January completed on the 13th of feb and job offer today, 27th of feb so all up about 5 weeks...

CabinCrew88 was yours for perth base?
My AD was SYD on 17th Jan, heard nothing but refs done. I guess Sydney is maybe busier and more applicants?

Hi everyone I had my assessment day in brisbane on January 31 and two days later received an email that my references were being checked and have heard nothing since!! I even emailed last week just to check I hadnt been forgotten to receive a very blunt email saying "you are currently at the reference check stage. you will be contacted when your application has progressed." still nothing and im starting ground school with jetstar in a week... :eek::ugh::mad:

Sydneysider88

Yea mine is for Perth base... I suspect they are pushing according to the demand of the base? So if ur base has more vacancies they push for ur application to move faster? I think so... Not sure how it all works but fingers cross for u too!!!

You're probably right cabincrew88. Syd would be pretty busy/full I'd imagine.

Progress.
 

Hi Guys,
So I had my group assessment and panel interview in Melbourne on the 31st of Jan. On the 2nd of Feb I received an email saying they were contacting references. Today my references were finally contacted! Wooooo! So glad my application is finally moving along.
How long now until medicals etc.. ?

Thanks Cabin-gal! Fingers crossed :)

The group activities are good fun! First they ask you to introduce yourself to the group. Then we had to design an invitation inviting people to attend an australian themed dinner party. We had to think of food, entertainment, special guests, location etc..Then at the end you stand up and present it to everyone.
I actually can't remember the other activity but i think it was something similar.
Then they gave us a piece of paper with i think 3 questions about yourself on it like 'Why would you be a good cabin crew member?' etc. I think they gave us 10 minutes to fill it out.
After that you go on a lunch break and they send you an sms which says if you have been chosen for a panel interview or not.

Its not as bad as you think it will be. Everyone is really nice and its a pretty laid back environment. Just be yourself and join in with the group activities. Be confident but not TOO confident, they don't like show offs. GOODLUCK! :)

Hey any one here starting ground school this Friday too?
