It's about $1800 f/n after tax not including allowances. Could come home with about $200 cash each trip if you save it/spend it super wisely.

Could go as low as $1300 though.

A friend of mine in MEL said she usually clears about $2000 f/n including allowances. It just depends on what trips you do. She usually will do 4 days on 4 days off, but I also have a friend that is SYD based and she will sometimes get 11 days off in a row. The flying and hours can also vary from base to base.

To Kevin, KAAATE, Wishingstar, Moniquelee...
Same here, guys. Applied 22'nd May for Syd base, flew for EK for 7yrs (resigned just a few months back), did my interview a week ago (Saturday) and heard nothing back. http://www.pic4ever.com/images/Just_Cuz_06.gif

Here's to another anxious waiting week ahead haha :}

When I received the email, I had one day for Sydney and 2 dates for Melbourne, available. I am Syd based so I booked in for the 6th Jul, hope that helps 😊

Still waiting
 

Any MEL based peeps still waiting to hear about AD?

Hey Kate, yes I am still waiting.. hopefully we hear back soon!! 😊

Hey everyone, is anyone attending the 930am session on wed the 6th in Sydney?

Any internals who were told they would hear the outcome this week had their references checked yet?

Hi all! Massive apologies I haven't kept up with this, I had trouble logging in for quite a long time.
Firstly I wish everyone the best of luck. I hope it all works out for us!

I am internal and applied for MEL based long haul (closing on 22nd), and have completed my video now. My manager told me they had completed my reference a while ago now, not sure if HR have read it yet though. Since my video, I have received 2 updates from SHR, basically to let me know they will update me at the end of this week with an outcome or next steps. I'm not sure if this is just the recruitment team keeping us updated, hopefully it is a good sign, fingers are crossed!

Does anybody here know if internal rejections have been sent? Or know if this sounds like a good sign/in the same position as me?

@Dinc D Princ - I have heard no news is good! I know two externals in SYD who got a rejection the next day after the assessment day. I think it's a good sign for you for sure!
@Moniquelee - I think it's such a massive recruitment that it's taking a long time to contact everyone, hang in there :(

I guess it's the waiting game now -- I wish you all the best :D

Good to know I'm not the only one! I just hate this waiting around :(

Hey cc123,

Same as you except I only received the first update. I've heard of one internal that got a no after her video but not sure how reliable that is.

I'm not sure if only receiving the first update is a bad sign?

Good luck.

Hey CC123,
I heard some internals got 'No' emails last week. I believe they are attending to each application in the order as they came in....So if you applied just before the recruitment closed, you will be one of the last to hear.
Good luck, to everyone, they had lots of applicants.

Hey Croissant2016, appreciate your reply!

Question to those who are in the know - If you have progressed to the reference check stage, and they liked what they heard about you, does it mean you are pretty much "in" provided you don't have any issues with the security / medical checks??

They just called my reference today and I'm not sure what to feel, excited and happy or anxious?!

I'd be excited/happy and would think you are *pretty much* through? Surely? We've got this far without a rejection!

True! Fingers crossed...I'm being selective about who to tell(friends/family) at this point about my progress, a bit like finding out you are pregnant but having to wait until more stable haha! Good luck to all

Agree- especially work people.. I'm the same. I just sent you a PM.

I received the first update only, not the second one so I'm not sure what to think of that. However, my references have been checked so it's all very confusing at this point.

Yay!
 

Group assessment booked for July 13th in MEL.. Anyone else? 😄

Can anyone that has already been to their AD tell me - Did they say whether they had already watched videos or if they were watching them after the AD?
