Good on you andyman_82 for giving it a go.

You never know until you ask, and you could get a nice surprise.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, let us know what happens.

Cheers.

I have also been invited to a MAM day in Melb this Saturday.
Im very nervous, last interview I had was a VB one in March which was a disaster! Hoping i can keep my nerves under control for this one! Andyman when I was at the VB one people were there that had not been formally invited so maybe its worth a chance? A quick question which I know I have seen on this board but I dont think it was ever answered... Is the training paid?

Thanks!!! M xxx

hi boyz n girlz

greetings from lockdown central! hahahahahaha

mez78-yes u do get paid for training

iguanahead- so sorry to hear that u didnt make it, however im sure there is something probably better around the corner!

bizziboi, u getting excited?

Its a pretty cool training module, the trainers are great and we go on line about the 23/24th August. everyone is really friendly in the trainin centre, and very welcoming.

The people in our group are very wicked, everyone is really nice and everyone talks to each other and its pretty cool. There are about 5 of us who have not flown before, although we are finding the transition a little different, the ex cabin crew in our group help us out a lot.

My 2 fellow chicky pprruners, nikkib and summa are unreal.

For those of you going to more MAM interviews, all I can say is just be yourself and you will shine. Enjoy the day, and just relax and have fun.

cheerios, i better get back to lockdown.

!!!nick!!!

Hey Nickmelb,

Great to hear you got 'released' from lockdown for long enough to send a msg. haha

Sounds like your enjoying it !

To answer your question, am I excited yet ? Come on mate, the answer is YES x 325.45 . I can't wait. I'm on the countdown and as prepared as I can be. I leave my current job the week I start training. So here I come !!

Study hard NickMelb and make us proud, oh and when I need study tips I will buzz you. *smirk*

Cheers.

This is rather belated,

But I just wanted to say a huge congratualtions to all you MAMer's who were successful, and hope that everything works out well for you

To those who just missed out, keep your chin up and keep trying.

There are other opportunities out there.

If you're after full time permanent employment, AO will be recruiting around September / October - so keep checking their website.

Have a wonderful day - even if it is rainy and cold here in MEL!

Anyone going to the QF MEL interviews on the above date.

So off to MEL again...I feel like these are Australian Idol auditions...following airlines around AU
Well if it was I would be singing...D e s p e r a d o... why don't you come to your sences....

Hi Guys!!!!!

Congratulations to all of those people in Perth who have been called to start training!!!!! I believe there is a total of 9 people in Perth who will go through. Not much notice though, called yesterday to start training in Melbourne for five weeks on Monday, but hey, that's the fun of it all!!

Enjoy it, we look forward to welcoming you to the Perth base.

Just wanted to wake up the MAM post with some news.

I have had confirmation that 2 more people who went through the same Assessment day as me are coming to SYD training schools in August.

Unfortunately, they will be in a different training school to me. But regardless, it's good news for sure.

So anyone heard from the 'lockdown cell' regarding the current trainee's ?

Cheers,

Training is intense, there will be blood, sweat and tears shed by all of you but you will remember it always and make strong friendships with everyone, especially those u train with. Good luck and with all the cross crewing thats happening to me lately i hope to meet some of you soon!

Welcome to the forum Blondie_11 and Bella82, and of course congratulations to you Blondie_11.

Well done on getting through to the training school in SYD.

Good to start hearing some good news from the QLD candidates. I will be in training the week before you here in SYD, so I'm sure we will all manage to catch up at some stage.

Good luck with it all, and I hope you hear from other BNE casuals to get the answers your looking for.

Cheers,

Bizzi_Boi

blondie_11

thanks bb, great to hear from you! I'm sure we'll meet in syd. do you know where we stay? have you heard of anyone else from bne hearing back? make sure you keep posting so we all know how training is going!

Bizzi_Boi

Hi Blondie,

I'm not sure where interstate students stay while in training. One would assume local to QC. Who knows you mightbe lucky enough to stay across from QC at the Holiday Inn.

Maybe some others can shed some light on where interstate candidates stay during training.

Cheers,

When we were training in Melbourne from Perth, we all stayed at the Quest Serviced Apartments on Bourke Street in Melbourne, the casuals going through now though are staying somewhere different i think?
