Hmm, I was really hoping for an e-mail from Qantas by now! I haven't been called by them, but that could be cause they dont have any of my details over here in London...I think I should change that.
So those of you who have been called, was it for a fixed term Long Haul 10 month contract?????? I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to come home, but I can't leave a full time cabin crew job with British Airways for a job that's not garanteed to be around after 10 months.

Have any of you actually called Recruitment to see if anything has changed? If not, I would presume that their letter stating that the Short-list ending on the 28th May would be confirmation that your time on the shortlist has ended? Maybe you should put yourselves out of your misery and call them to see what is going on? Thats what I would do.

Thanks for the advise Q-Tee !! This has already been done by managment and the response has been "We are still on the short list until you receive a letter in the mail !We have a lot of issue to resolve and therefore we will be advised maybe this week as to what they will do with the externals and internals"
So again thanks Q-tee and no we shouldnt assume that our waitlisted as droped of !!

NExt week you will be saying the same thing qantastic." we should hear something this week, and then again the following week "we should hear something this week.".. Call them and just be straight forward and say "when are we going to start our training".. C'mon, dont rely on other gossip. Just do it urself

This from the FAAA
This from the FAAA on 31st May 04 about what appears to be going on in the background:
"The company has also recently confirmed they intend to offer 150 fixed term contracts to Australian based crew for a period of 8 months. The company indicated this was to cover a spike in flying. However, the company plan explicitly says that this is a stop-gap measure to cover extra available flying until the London base comes on line. When the overseas base comes on line the FAAA believes that Qantas will move these jobs overseas and the hopes of a career with Qantas will be dashed for 150 Australian Workers."

So I guess QANTASTIC was right in saying there should be some movement in the industry this week...
Good Luck guys, hopefully you will all be called this week and we can start a new thread.. This one is way too complex and emotional for my liking...
Cheers

Qantastic,
Im affraid you have misunderstood what I have been saying here. Many people on this thread have been waiting a very long time to hear something back from Qantas. Unfortunately too too long. It is great that you are here to make people feel good and be optimistic. However saying that, not everyone here has a job already with qantas, unlike you. Hence the external applicants. Therefore it does make it quite difficult to wait and wait and wait and wait, till they tell you. Congratulations, we have extended your waiting list date. I am sure many wonderfull people with superb skills have declined offers from other company's in hope qf will offer them the job. Once again, you are not in this pool of applicants, therefore it wont worry you financially. At the end of the day, people just want to work and yes they all deserve to work for qantas. I congratulate all those who have been notified already. If I have come across my previous posts as "bitter" as you kindly put it, then im affraid your totally WRONG.
I hope you are called soon qantastic for your position.

I still am waiting!!!!!!!!!
Im so disappointed, by the airline industry. I had my interviews as did all the other potentials. I was never told that it was to be contract work but told the opposite instead.(Full time). But did not know if it was to be longhaul or shorthaul!!!!! I got myself a job in another airline, overseas as a cabin manager, as i have 10 years experince with Ansett Australia, and needed to get back into a job that I have passsion for.. When I got the job with Ansett, Qantas also called 2 hours later and offered me a job. I said to myself no will go with the fist call.. Now, as I had been successful in my interviews with Qantas, I was so excited to think that I was going to have a chance again as i had said no all those years ago!!!! And now to be told it will be a 10 mounth contract!! and will have to move back there from the middle east in a weeks notice.. Belive me when I say, If I get the call I think I will except it, and hope for the best as it is one foot in the door so to speak... And lets go on the crazy airline ride yet again...

To save a lot of heartache and confusion, why dont QF just remove the word "PERMANENT" off any application forms, and dont mention it at any stage throughout the interview process?
Easy fix....
