Hi everyone!

Has anyone else received an email last about applying to Jetstar and that you are in the “active hold pool”?

Does that means that we won’t get a call pretty much but with nicer words?

I got that email to and don’t know what to make of it. My application still states “in progress” on workday 😓

Hi,

Talent acquisition haven't got much to inform, EBA needs to be certified so hiring can begin and people on hold can be released.

FAAA is fighting it to the end even it looks very likely it will get certified. If they didn't challange it in the first place, people would have been endorsed and out flying by now.

TA is still waiting for release date so they can assign training dates, don't expect anything until this drama is resolved.

Yep, I got that email too. And that was after receiving about 4 calls fromTA the week before about getting my alcohol amd drug test redone so it's not expired before potential commencement date. She even said in the last phone call "everything is perfect now and hopefully the next call you receive from us will be a job offer". Then I see they've made job offers to people since that phone call and then I received the email regarding jetstar. Wow, how disheartening to know they've decided I'm more suited to jetstar. Very sad 😔 😪

What bases are they asking about for Jetstar? Is it just Sydney or Melbourne as well?

They have had 4 International GS commence each week back to back since about September, together Qantas Domestic Altara GS, so many new Qantas Cabin Crew, word is that the ground schools are slowing down now, as they have active applications it’s better to offer them employment with subsidiaries rather than a no / unsuccessful email. They have done this in the past as well. Hence why they have offered Jetstar roles, it’s not that you’re not good enough for Qantas it’s just timing has not aligned.

Hi,

I say don't do it.
It might be tempting but believe me, applying internally is not easy. You will be put on hold for months and months and months and many more months.
​​​​​​
If you really want to fly, do it with other airlines. Airlines with no association with Qantas.

Just say if you're employed by Bonza for 3 months and you go applying again for Qantas international, you will go through pretty fast where as if you work for Jetstar for 3 months you won't be able to apply until you've been in your role for atleast 12 months and there's the uncertainty of waiting for a training date so you possibly could be looking at 24 months...

Good thing come to those who wait, don't do it otherwise you will be in the same situation like alot of us are in right now.

How long does it take for medicals to lapse ?

did you have to pay the $300 or $150 again? 🥴

He thinks first week of March, but hasn’t had a contract sent as yet.

Anyone applied back in October 2022, still have not heard back yet?

Applied in Jan 2022 and have not heard back either.. welcome to the club 😴

Hi everyone!
Anyone here on the 16th of November AD? Done everything and I’m still waiting for that golden call. I also got the Jetstar email which is kinda disheartening but still hopeful.

ALTARA CREW
 

Have any JQ altara crew successfully applied and been accepted?

Hey, Did anyone attend the assessment day in Sydney today? If so, how was it... Did they talk about how long until a potential ground school if successful?

Syd
 

Hey, i was in the 9am AD yesterday, if all checks and everything is comleted in time the next available date is in April sometime!

I already reciced my email that I've been progressed to the next stage from there, apparently theyre moving through applicants pretty quickly! They're hiring around 1000 international FA this year! All year round they will have groud schools going!

It’s good to hear they are still actively recruitment tho. I thought they stopped assessment days so the above posts are reassuring.
The last communication I got was that I’ve cleared everything and they’ll be in touch when they allocate a GS… that was about 3wks ago 🥴
I guess the waiting game continues….

My AD was on 16th November too :-(

Golden Call
 

Hey guys, as you have probably assumed from the title of my message, i finally got my golden call just now 🥰🤩. I'm so ecstatic. My training will be in Abu Dhabi and it starts on March 21. Don't give up hope beautiful people, i'm proof that it can happen at any time, even when you think you've missed out. Crossing my fingers that heaps of you receive that call this week too. Oh and guess what, we DO fly to Rome, the lovely lady told me to get my second language certified (italian) so i can join her this year on the Rome flights ❤❤❤
