YAY
WOOOOWWWEEEE
Well a GREEN LIGHT was given to me today from MAM, that I start my training in August.
Can someone now slap me and tell me stop calling people on my mobile phone !!
I got called today with this great news, and what a relief to finally know the news. It still has not hit me, and all that I have dreamt of since I was a kid is about to come true.
So, if you see a guy bouncing off the walls and helping people by carrying their groceries to their cars then it's more than likely me !!
Hope the rest of you get the same great news and can celebrate with me.
Looking forward to hearing back from all those that have supported me from day one.
Cheers,
Bizzi_Boi

Well done everybody! Reading your posts have helped make my spirits higher. I've been a bit (understatement!!!) home sick lately in the UK, but it's made me remember how I felt 6 months ago when BA gave me the go ahead. I used to be in the galley, and I'd have to keep looking at my name badge that said
"Sarah - Cabin Crew"
to believe that it was actually true!
Training is great, soooo much fun, I'm sure you'll all have a great time, and as OZcabincrew said, definately take your cameras, it's so good looking back at the photos!

Hey Flying_Sarah747,
Thanks for the post. I guess several times I have read in other threads your postings about life in the UK and you being homesick. But also read how you love your job and your focus is with your dream.
I guess you made me realise as well that the experience of getting a GREEN light go ahead from an airline is the most adrenaline rushed moment I have had. And if only I could bottle this feeling, and remember it when I am eventually flying.
Sadly I see cabin crew and actually know of a few who seem to forget how lucky they really are and also how painful it was to get their wings. The attitude and so forth that makes you wonder why they tried to fly in the first place. I know the job is not easy and is taxing on the body and mind. But I think as you said in your in your post :
".........but it's made me remember how I felt 6 months ago when BA gave me the go ahead. I used to be in the galley, and I'd have to keep looking at my name badge that said"Sarah - Cabin Crew"to believe that it was actually true!
It makes you realise just how lucky and well 'special' you are to be in the job and to do what you have dreamt about.
Well to all the MAM candidates, all the best to those of you who will hopefully get a phone call with some great news today. Just hold out a bit longer and I hope to see you in the sky helping me at the cart flying somewhere over this great brown land we call home. (How tacky did that just sound??, I had to resist deleting, I tell you these happy hormones are making me bounce off the walls..... lol ).
Cheers,

Congrat's to you too Summa,
It's such a weird feeling isn't to know your on the way to get your wings.
Iguanahead, thank you so much for you constant emails and support in the forum as well as the pep talks in the phone, and you know I can't wait to be dressed in that uniform with my cheesy grin and lop sided dimples. *smirk*
I do hope you hear something today and then I can rest easy knowing we will study together.
Just a thought for those of you who have not heard. I am guessing it has to do with the amount of notice you gave on your application. What I'm referring to is, the part that stated how many weeks notice you had to give your current employer. The reason I think this could be delaying things is because of the people I know who had to give upto 4 weeks notice, they seem to have been notified, but people who didn't have much notice seem not to have been called. I can only assume this is due to the fact they want to make sure they have allocated for everyone and then people with short notice they can slot in where gaps are in the numbers for the training school.
Just a thought !.
Well Bizzi_Boi has another day at the office to attend, and I tell you it's not going to be easy driving to the office for the next weeks before I start with MAM. I gave in my resignation yesterday and instantly had a crowd of staff wanting to know about how, where, when, and a few faces of shock and I guessing a few faces of envy. But it's all good !.
Good luck people, keep in touch
Cheers.

Hi guys!!!!
I know that feeling too!!! Well done to everyone who got in, just think there are thousands of people who would like to be in your shoes right now!!!! But don't let it go to your head and don't ever take it for granted, because think of how long it too you to get here!!!!
Hey i know there are a couple of people from the Perth interviews who have had their reference checks done, has anyone in Perth heard anything else at all?????? I'm guessing once you've had your reference checks done and they were obviously all good its a pretty sure thing? What do you guys on the east coast think?

Hey OzCabincrew,
A very good point, about not letting it get to our heads. I think we all know what a flight attendant looks like when they let their job get to their head. And now having gone through the interview process and been selected, I think back to some of the questions and wonder how some got in with their attitude. Oh well not to worry, I think I will hold on to this feeling every day I get to fly.
As far as your question about the ref checks on the East Coast, mine were checked 2 wks prior to the call I got that I was successful. I know of a few other East coaster's who had refs checked around the same time and yet have been left waiting still. So not sure how it all works to be honest.
I'm surprised none of the MEL guys who started training yesterday didn't post how their first day went. I guess they were exhausted and overloaded after day 1.
Again, to anyone who has not heard yet. I wish you luck and the virtue of good patience.
Cheers,
Bizzi_Boi
