Well you BIG stunner Elle,
Thanks but I think your going to be a star in the Middle East and in the sky.
Sad we won't be working together at QF but I know your dream has come true.
From the desire and passion of starting by applying to MAM to now what you have got. Well done.
I think your approach and passion has made it all pay off.
Good luck, and don't forget your aussie boi who will hopefully be serving coffee up and down the aisle of jet with a kanga on the back.
Ciao, and CONGRATS.

wait wait wait
The waiting is getting a little tiring.!
I can understand people waiting for 18 months, but these MAM people said they would be in touch by yesterday.
Even an email to say "hey we are still at it, contact you within 10 days" would be nice!

** Nods **
I totally agree, the waiting has become in my words, 'painful'.
Some form of contact during this time would have been good to at least know where we are all at.
Such as : " We wish to inform you that your application has successfully made it the shortlist of candidates, we will endeavour to contact you by X date with a final decision on your application....."
I mean, at least some form of contact would have at least told you if your in with a chance, or if you have been sitting around waiting for a NO. Time makes the human brain think too much and I'm sure a lot of us have thought both positive and negative through this waiting period. But it looks like the 2 week wait has deadlined today.
But if we don't hear from them, it's not like we are not used to waiting. I will just continue to do the following to ease the pain :
1. Keep drawing pictures of a white kangaroo on a red triangle.
2. Annoying my flat mate by organising the lounge room like a aircraft cabin.
3. Requesting that pax in my car fasten their seatbelts and switch their mobile devices off prior to leaving the street curb.
At least that way I am allowing others to feel the pain, see I'm sharing and that's a good attribute isn't it ?
Cheers,

Waiting Game
Ok so for me and Qantas there has now been over a 3 week turnaround since I had my final interview and still no word either way.
I have now made up a big excuse for this in my head ....
Qantas is currently starting a television program called "Join the Roo" It is an 8 part series joining the lives of candidates in their progress towards a career within the airline.
The series is currently in production and they are waiting for an air-date. On the final night of the show they are set to ring up all candidates and let them know the final outcome of their application.
Ok .. this may be a totally far fetched idea - but hey we had that show "The Apprentice" ... i reckon it could be a money maker for the airline ..
JUST goes to show what you can come up with when the mind starts to ponder your status of the application... any other ideas goin on out there in the departure lounge???
Hope u all manage to have a good weekend and enjoy the delayed departure.

Hey Gone U/S
I think you might be onto something with the TV concept, and if QF is not making a TV show then I think at the end of all this we should make one just for our sanity.
I feel like I'm in the Truman show right now. !
It's 3pm and still no news. I'm tempted to send MAM an email. Maybe due to my insanity I could just send the email to myself.
Now, who appears to be going crazy ? *smirk

aagh!
Hey Bizzi...
I shot them off a quick e-mail yesterday afternoon to let them know that I am overseas and asked them if they would get back to us by e-mail or phone....
No reply!
Slack huh?
Oh well....guess we'll just have to keep on waiting!

Oh okay,
Thanks for letting us know. So in other words, don't bother.
Don't call us, we'll call you trick. "said in Maxwell Smart voice".
Well enjoy your time overseas, let's hope you come home to a job with MAM.
Cheers,
Bizzi_Boi

Hey Elle,
Big, big, big congratulations to you! Fantastic news of your new career in the middle east, how exotic. They always take the glamours. Have the time of your life, enjoy every minute and remember to keep in touch with us over here to let us know how you are going.
NikkiB, well done to you too. Looks like Melbourne is heating up down there guys, hope more of you hear the good news soon. Next Wednesday for training, my goodness that is fast. Only 4 more sleeps for you and you'll be living the dream.
Meanwhile back at the ranch Iguanahead and Bizzi_Boi have set up their own airline in Bizzi's lounge and are arming doors to set off for glamorous destinations. What exactly is in this cocktail Bizzi?

Congratulations to those that were successful. I have a couple of questions.
When did you get the nod to do a medical?
Has anybody else that has been referenced checked in Melbourne not heard yet?
Has anybody who was referenced checked missed out on a position?

Congratulations !!
Well done to the new MEL crew. You have all done very well, I bet your all OVER the moon and you can tell from your postings to the forum. I tell you this is all great, especially for those who have tried time and time again to join the sky.
I wish you all the best of luck with your training and because of your determination to get the job, you will be stars in the sky for sure.
As for us Sydney MAM candidates, I have not heard of anyone getting a call. So not sure if we can fly down and join you guys for a celebration drink just yet.
Just a few questions ? When did you get asked to do a medical ?
I'm a bit lost, and it's such short notice as well. I mean hey it's great only a few more days and YAY your training but I fear that the notice would be too short for me. But hey I will cross that bridge if I get a GREEN light I guess. hahaha
Again well done !. Let's hope we see you in the sky real soon.
Cheers,
Bizzi_Boi

Hi Guys!
Congratulations to all of those who got in and fingers crossed for those who are still waiting. All i can say is as i'm sure you've heard before, be prepared for the training! I knew it would be difficult, but it was a different difficult to what i expected. My training group spent three and a half weeks in Melbourne (we're Perth based) and there were times where we were all sitting with our heads on the table at 1 or 2 o'clock in the morning repeatedly saying "my brain just can't take any more in!" after trying to memorize a whole heap of stuff. I remember one of the girls in our group is a dancer and ended up having to make a dance to help her remember emergency drills etc, so it was funny seeing her sitting at her desk when we were doing the final exam doing the dance to herself so she could write the drill out!!!!!! Now when we look back at it and look at photos etc, it was such a good time! Make sure you take your cameras and if you want to take a photo, ask your instructor first as there's obviosuly areas you can't take photos. Most of all, have a fantastic time, it's the best, but just be prepared for some studying and most importantly, memorising!!!!! It's only as hard as you want to make it! If any of you have any questions on the training, pm me, i went through the QF training last March & will be happy to try and answer your questions
well done again!
Oz
