I was told GS would be BNE, with a definite date for Aug and another in late September or early October.. I'm now wondering if the total number they required which was 75, is this going to be made up of BNE SYD and MEL as I was under the impression it was 75 for BNE ..

Yeah I wouldn't be too sure either, unfortunately. Have any of you heard anything back as of yet?

Natd - Let me know how you go. Have they called any more references? Urrrgghhh I'm getting more and more anxious everyday!

Hi Baybi-t ... Just received word one of my references was called today ... Stay calm it's merely the process all should be revealed soon

Well, a bit of an update on my cabin crew progression. Even though I was unsuccessful with Altara / Jetstar I have been selected to attend a recruitment day for Virgin Australia. No date as to when that will be yet, but still a huge congratulations to everyone who is following their dreams as I know I am following mine. Everyone that I met at my Altara day were a great bunch of people and you will all do an amazing job! Happy flying :)

[quote=Teamglobal;9394660]Teamglobal - That's great news for you :)

Did they only call one also?

[quote=Baybii_t;9394693]Yes only one! Seems to be the same for us 3, like they say past behaviour predicts future behaviour, it was the 2nd reference listed on my list ... So off to do the first aid course tomorrow a gruelling 8hours fun fun

Hi flicker91, that's fantastic news .. Remember we are all here to help ... Good luck and please keep us posted with your assessment day with Virgin ... Follow your dreams, have complete clarity .. Go for it!!

THATS AMAZING!! Good luck!

[quote=Teamglobal;9394723]Enjoy first aid - Hopefully today brings some good news!!

:)

Enjoy your First Aid course! fingers crossed for all :)

Thanks guys, first aid done and dusted ...

To be honest I don't think they have certain number of future ground schools and positions planned, they just seem to pump them through on demand. Looking as far ahead as end of year planned ground schools- they prob have three mabye four they could fit in before end of year.
They usually try to do the ground schools per base, bne would be held all in bne and MEL all in MEL- Sydney are 3 weeks in Syd 1 week in MEL. I can't believe they aren't checkin leg more than one reference?! That's crazy!

Hi Croissant1, thanks for your comments ... In your experience I assume you are a flight attendant with Jetstar .., did they call all your references? I agree it would be a costly exercise to fly and accommodate recruits to only one port for GS, so it seems logically to have GS at each location ...

Interesting. In my situation in regards to reference I think they may have only checked one so far as I've been at my place of employment for close to five years now so mostly all of my references are from the one work place and I wouldn't assume they would say anything different.. But I'm unsure if that's the case or they are just taking their time getting through people's references one by one.

My recruitment was incredibly long ago so wasn't relevant to current recruitment procedures. This recruitment is done via Altara not Jetstar. Altara are the ones that hire and employ you, and you will be working for them, so their recruitment practices can be literally whatever they want. If they don't sufficiently reference check someone and that person turns out to be trouble, it's Altaras problem.
JQ has head office and training centre in Melbourne and all if SYD MEL and ADL crew do yearly EP training in MEL facilities. All QLD crew do EPs at aviation australia in bne- they have doors and a cab trainer up there so ground schools can be held there also.
It dosent really cost them much to fly crew and trainees around (and Altara are the ones paying for accomodation- don't get me started on that) but it's more about use of the facilities because both MEL and aviation australia are booked solid with other airlines doing eps etc too.

Hey all, I thought I would share my news.

I just received the call inviting me to complete the next step and inviting me to start on August the 15th :)

So excited and I hope theres more good news for all of you :)

Congratulations
 

That's fantastic news .. Your agonising wait is over ... I'm still waiting maybe some news next week for me! Sent in my first aid and RSA certificates today ... You can relax and celebrate this weekend

Did they physically call or send email?

Thanks for sharing
