There seems to be alittle bit of confusion on what i had wrote on a previous msg.
Yes everyone at AO is equal....i may not have chosen my words well... i mean as a structural way..... No supervisors in y class etc etc... apologies to anybody at AO who was offended.
The equal word is suppose to mean if someone has been with company for a year and someone is on there first day. No seniority.......

L1P - Do you know how many people will be in the 05 Jan ground school ? you also mentioned that another ground school will follow after....will this be directly after group 22 graduate or will they have to wait a few months before the next ground school.
People who were interviewed in the recent group interviews have been told panel interviews will be held in CNS in February so maybe they are only looking to form a waitlist from this recent recruitment ?
Any Ideas ?

Hi all,
I have made it to the panel interview in Feb and was told I will recieve my confirmation of date and time this month.
Has anybody else heard any news?
Was there previous discussion about the next aircraft arriving in May/June? I can't remember, but maybe that's what this recruitment is for.......I'm purely speculating here, as I believe this recruitment is for a hold file.
All the best guys,
Raver

As far as I know group 21 will have 16 trainees, which is the usual number.
As for group 22 there is no confirmed date yet, we are/will be fully crewed after 21 graduates. Will not really require crew until May when we start the DRW flights. That is, unless something unforeseen happens ( like crew resigning after Xmas etc).

Good luck RaverFlaver - congrats on the good news.
I didn't realise the next stage was another group assessment - I thought the next stage was a panel interview.
So does this mean (for those who are successful) you go through two group assessments to get to the panel interview?
RaverFlaver - is the day just a group assessment or does it break in the afternoon for panel interviews?
Hope I haven't created mass confusion here!

Thanks so much for your well wishes guys - very kind
In the email I recieved it stated the day will be 5.5 hours long, and my group assesment starts at 10 am. I'm assuming they have put us in groups maybe for testing and height measurements ect and then we will split for our panel interviews ect. This is the final interview I believe, so I don't think it will be group orientated all day, I'm sure that's just one small aspect of it.
Good luck to you all - I hope you hear soon, and I look forward to meeting you at the interview!

the competition amongst candidates appears to be TOUGH - this whole process is cleary harder than the QF L/H process - must be really hard for them to choose if they are having another group assesment then panel - far out !

QFmike,
I wish you all the best. You have been posting for a while and I know how much you want to get into the other part of airline work. I'm sure they will see how much you want this.
Raver,
I am just a bit confused how you can already be confirmed for stage 4. I didn't even know they had a stage 4. You also mentioned it may contain the height mesurements. I'm not doubting you but from previous interviews with AO and QF that is all done on the first day, the first thing you do so they can eleminate those under or over.
Maybe they are doing things differently now but it seems terrible they are putting people through to the next stage who ultimately will have no chance anyway due to the height restrictions.
Good luck and let us know how you go.

Hey everyone,
Just to clear the situation, I am living in Tokyo and have been in contact with AO in quite detail due to living in Tokyo. Based on this they gave me a telephone interview to decide whether they would want me to come to the next stage, they said based on my telephone interview that will not require me to come to the prelim interview (just passed in Nov) and that I will be put straight through to the final stage in February. Given my situation I think they have given me slightly earlier notice than others due to making international flight arrangements.
I was only specualting about the height measurements ect, sorry to confuse the situation or mislead anyone.
I don't know when you will hear but I think it will be this coming week sometime as I'm sure by now they have worked out who they want from the Nov interviews.
I wish everyone the best and do hope you all make it to the next stage.
Will be great to chat and get to know each other at the next stage!
Good luck all

A friend from Brisbane was advised yesterday that he is through to Stage 4 and he is required to be Cairns on 31 January 2004 at 10.00am.
Hopefully, the rest of you guys will also find out soon. I think he said he was advised by letter.

Just to let all of yu out there that the Adelaide people also heard this week and not alot got through! They have been told their interviews are in Cairns on 7th Feb 2004.
The word going around with AO is that most ex-AN F/A's didn't do much for them and that only a selected few go through.Apparently the ex-AN F/A's in MEL stuffed it up for the rest of the candidates because they were" a bit cocky and full of themselves". This is only going on what I have been told by a pretty good source.
Any way good luck to everyone who is through to the next stage.

wine o babe, sorry but I must disagree with your comments re AO not liking AN crew.
AO will judge each applicant on their individual merits, not whether they have or have not worked for a particular airline. If the ex-AN people in MEL behaved a certain way then that is not necessarily a reflection on every person who worked for AN. That is a HUGE generalisation!! Perhaps those people will need to reasses their strategies for dealing with an interview if they hope to get another airline job any time soon.
There are plenty of ex-AN people who are smart, talented, likeable and very good FAs. Many of these are already working for airlines both here and overseas. You may be interested to know that a high percentage of AO FAs are in fact ex-AN.
I know of several people who have heard they are successful through to Stage 4 of the AO interview process and know of at least 2 different dates, so to answer Dr Phil's question I think at least 50 were successful through the first round of interviews if not more.
Hope that helps and Merry Christmas!
