waiting_game,
Congratulations that's fantastic news, I'm so happy for you!
We knew you'd get there in the end, all that patience has paid off, and it couldn't have happened to a nicer person. I'll be having a bevvy or two to celebrate for you.
So when do you start?

OK!
Some news...
There will be 2 training sessions held. One starts this Friday and it is currently full.
The next one will be earlier in March. Not sure about the status of that one. Was told to give it a few days and might get a call.

Learning Curve
You people never learn.In your blind rush to become Cabin Crew you have not learnt anything from the "strikebreaking"episode at Christmas.YOU ARE BEING USED.Once an agreement has been reached between Qantas and the FAAA you become yesterday's toast....old and stale and only good for the rubbish tip.

thats a bit harsh dont u think surfside?
This is a dream of so many people on here, why cut them down like that? So qantas screwed a few (lot) of people but we are all well aware of that.
and from me as well... CONGRATS wg!

Alternatives
There are other airlines apart from QF.They place greater value on you as an employee than Qantas ever will.
As has been said elsewhere be careful what you wish for.

Just a little bit of advice to everyone. Ignore Surfside. Afer the past couple of days I have received many abusive PM'S from him/her. According to Surfside, I need my 'BRAIN WASHED OUT WITH HYDROCHLORIC ACID'!!!! Don't worry, to all the QF shortlisters we will get there, I heard that there maybe a NZ training school coming up in the next few months aswell, and then another MAM group. We just have to stay positive and remember we have already come along way.

Surfside, are you a current Qantas employee?
if not, then stop telling everyone how you think Qantas treat us, its employees. Yes, they stuffed a lot of people around in regards to recruitment and continue to do so, myself being stuffed around as we speak, but all i can say is get over it or just simply deal with it. It's the whole industry not just Qantas as a company, you ask people who are waiting for an answer from Emirates after being on the shortlist, the waiting period seems to get longer and longer and no one can get an answer except, "we're still processing it, about another two weeks", if you can't hack how you get stuffed around (presuming you've been burnt by Qantas or another airline before) by an airline, maybe you need to try another industry.
Not an attack, just some advice.

Feel the need to keep their HR departments busy thats all it is most of the time..... SORRY ! I was accepted buy QF long haul two years ago ,put on one of their their mystery lists for 18 months then offered MAM work by them ( no thanks ) , Later a strike contract(no thanks) then told I had to reapply haha can you believe that . Life is to short to waste .
I mean your paying all that money to a department you may as well get them to do something
PS more overseas jobs though give it time

Private Messages are just that..Private Messages.
I have sent 2 to you and one was a response to your message.So lets not exaggerate.I also notice you have been threadbanned.
Further I write these posts because I am concerned about the treatment you will most likely receive from Qantas.I know what Qf is like ...I work there.
Ozcabincrew.You need to make up your mind how you feel about Qantas.In another forum( New Australian Australian Airlines EBA) you totally contradict yourself.

Correct me if I am wrong Ozcabincrew, but you are NOT an employee of Qantas yet. You are employed by MAM as a casual, through this contract crewing company. If you are going to have a go at someone at least represent yourself honestly.
Surfside6
I dont really understand your comments, how are the MAM casuals being used? They only operate within short haul and the short haul EBA does not even expire until later in the year, therefore there is no agreement to be reached with the FAAA.
I believe Qantas need more short haul crew and as per their policy they employ more casuals.
I personally would be quite interested to see the ratio of permanent/casual within short haul, considering the last time permanent crew were employed was back in 2003.

Qantas Panel Interviews
Hi,
I also have done the Perth recruitment group assessment in September and then the Panel Interview in December. They did ask if I would be interested in doing MAM casual and of course I said yes. I received a phone call in January asking me to fax thru my RSA certificate, I did ask the question with the lady and she said everything was looking good. I then received an email notifying me that Qantas would contact me in around 4 weeks. The letter I received on the 28th January.
Someone advised me that there may be training commencing in March ?
I have heard nothing since......does anyone know what the go is ? Or any indication when we will find out what is happening ?
Is it a wise move to contact them and ask ?
