Thank you! I have read all of your posts here and it does seem like it is such a looong process, but you guys are closer to the finish line than the starting line so I'm sure y'all can't wait to start flying.
Thank you for the tips, really appreciate it!
I do have a question, I've attended middle east airlines ADs before and never had a "written comprehension assessment" in my experience.
What does this Written Comprehension Assessment entail? Thank you to anyone who can shed light to this query.

Also, yes, it is for International Cabin Crew based in Sydney (Job Ref R77479).

So, the written comprehension assessment is an English competency assessment process where you and your group (and maybe other group) sit together in a room, within 10 mins, you will be given a piece of information (I believe it is from the aircraft operation Manual) and answer 4 questions at the end. the question are straight forward and all the answers are in the reading, all you need to do is copy and paste the correct piece of info to answer the question. However, make sure you answer with sentence(s), not just word. 10 mins is PLENTY of time for this task, it is not hard, even for me, which English is my second language.
the reading I was given was about procedures we need to follow when the cabin door is open or "cracked", like it asked me who to notify, what to do if......, and so on, but it is not hard at all.

26/10 as well ! Sydney based. Congratulations!

hey! Was wondering what the timeframe was for you between medicals, sending certs and getting a call back?

does anyone else also have a booked holiday which falls into February 2023, when a gs may potentially happen? Should I send an email to TA advising them or wait until a gs is announced?

I believe that you will be contacted for a GS dater soon, which is very likely to start late this year, therefore, a holiday in Feb 2022 is not a very feasible idea personally thinking....

this was booked well end of 2021 before i applied QF and had hopes to start gs this year. Just worried now because of how far things have been pushed back

ASIC APPLICATION
 
Hi guys, I submitted my ID application in mid Aug and still haven’t heard back from them… TA says my application is still with their background checking partner…but it’s been almost a month… how long did it take for you guys to get your ID applications approved? Applied for Sydney based International.
thanks in advance!!

Hi Jazo,
My application only took three days, but I had been in jobs for long periods and only had three addresses in the past 30 years. It can also depend on how busy ASIC and Auscheck are.
I have heard that some people took 6 - 8 weeks to clear, so yours really isn't unusual.

Hi Intellisis, Do you mind if I ask you when was your AD? and which city did you go for your AD?

Thanks for your reply! I guess (and want to believe) it’s taking time for me because I’ve lived and worked overseas… will have to patiently wait then!!! Thanks for the info!!

Thank you so much! I was nervous for the written exam for no reason as it was fairly easy!=)
I have passed the AD, and have completed reference checks and applied for the ASIC ID.
Will probably have to focus on my current job at the moment as I can see from this thread - the waiting time can be quite long.
Thank you again!
