AD Sydney - 18/05
 

Hi team,

is there anyone else in this thread that was at AD in Sydney this wednesday gone. Im so grateful to have passed the AD i couldnt sleep now the anticipation awaits for reference check.

they did too tell us that GS will start in October

a long long way to go but im remaining positive.

While we wait.. !
 

This is somewhat off topic, but I’ve been putting life on hold with all the back and forward from Qantas in regards to medicals, ground school etc. Now that we have some clarity on when to expect a phone call to go for medicals/ proceed to ground school, would it be dumb of me to book a holiday?😂 I’ve been wanting to go on holiday for a while but put it to the side because of the recruitment process. Thinking if I do go away in August, I should be okay if they do contact us 8-10 weeks before anything else commences! Thoughts ? 🤞🏼

I would say if you’d like to go on a holiday. GO FOR IT and fly Qantas obviously 🤣. But go to a destination where you can easily fly back just in case

Kuikymart I can’t let it hold me back right ! Obviously! I have plenty of QFF points to use anyways 😛
Hopefully if I go the first two weeks of August, I should be in the clear 🤔

Hi Hashuree, how did you go with the AD in Sydney, mine was on Thursday and I got an successful Email today early afternoon. Got my security check docs uploaded. and now all the "green ticks" that everyonw are talking about starts to make sense.

:) Definitely go for a holiday - Qantas are holding back to back assessment days till October to fill the active hold pool for international before they commence selecting the candidates they wish to hire, the first ground schools are not planned till October now. Don’t put life on hold - enjoy 😉 your holiday.

I passed too!!! congrats!!!

:) Qantas International Ground school starting on June 15, it is now been filled by Jetconnect Auckland base and internal candidates, good luck to those commencing with Qantas see you in the sky's soon.

Hi everyone, I am SYD based and had my AD on 9th March. I received latest email from TA last week to let me send them my certificates (RSA, first aid, water competency) prior being made an offer of employment. is that a good sign that i will receive an offer of employment soon ? anyone knows ?

Hey everyone, I attended a qantas international recruiting day in Sydney for Sydney base last month was successful and all x-ref, security checks completed, just been contacted to send in my water/swim test and certificates and attend to bodycare medical. I was told no Sydney postings will be available till October or in 2023 now, I can go for Auckland NZ based for international, ground course is in June for international or remain on hold pool until late 2022 or 2023 for Sydney base. I believe they have a large hold file now to work with, and selecting is based on metrics. Anyone else at this section of the process, also Applies as language speaker.

;-)

Hi Galleygirl2022, Did they just call you or email you regarding the ground school will be in October 2022 or 2023 ?

Hi :)

Sometimes during recruitment Qantas call candidates on hold for a particular Cabin crew ie: Qantas International positions and offer jobs on other Qantas subsidiaries like QantasLink / Jetconnect or even Jetstar and even MAM ect , it’s usually a take it or leave it basis going back on active hold or even been on active hold does not mean you will get the position eventually, after 12 months from date of original application, Qantas will usually advise to re apply for role in the future once active hold expires.

Krisflyer5 Hey, that’s so exciting! I had my AD on the same day in Sydney too, definitely sounds like great news! Last I heard was on 11/05, saying that there are updates to their network and operational requirements, and that they anticipate GS will begin October 2022/2023, and will be in touch 8-10 weeks prior to a start date! Let us know how you go🤞🏼😀

Thank you travelling foodie, glad to find someone on the same AD here. So you did not receive the call from them regarding training in Abu Dhabi and later email around 13/05 to send them certificates ?

Krisflyer5 I received an email to expect a phone call early May, then never received a phone call but got an email instead with an update :( a bit deflating after such a long process, I just have to hold on a bit longer I suppose.

hey Travelling Foodie,

Do you think they will contact us, or will we have to apply again after 12 months since our application is only valid for that amount of time 🥲? I was thinking if I should shoot my shot at another airline?

The externals that were called in may, and sending through certificates etc. when are they starting ground school?

@mnd hahaha I don’t think we will be left alone, they obviously wanted you at the assessment day that’s why your in the Qantas pool 😇

Hi Kuikymart,
Regarding externals called in May etc...I haven't heard anything since email to send certificates, which was 2 weeks ago. With the phone call, I was not told any GS start dates, they asked me if I could train for up to 28 days in Dubai or Abu Dhabi. :)
Travel is picking up quickly but understandable that they are taking their time because of the experience of what happened to the industry with the pandemic and new variants. Hopefully steady climb from here 😁✈

Hi Galleygirl,
Im in Brisbane too, I am also a languange speaker, may I ask what language you spaek?

Thanks A38TY 😇. Hopefully you receive some fantastic news soon! Fingers crossed for us all 🙂
