the person would appear to be telling the correct info.long haul stop work meeting then mam 747 training /think feb 03/ then a few months latter per opened s/haul...these are the exact facts..all this was well before 3mth stuff......cheers gigs

Also know of MAM Casuals previously SYD-base relocating to PER in order to take up a permanent SH position within the last two years.

Does this help?

MAM has never trained casuals for the 747!

You probably mean the ex-Strikebreakers trained on the 747 who are now employed by MAM because of Qantas' moral obligation after no longer requiring them...I think we need to make that clear.

I was just having a read through the MAM EBA, talks nothing about restrictions on aircraft types, just says that you will be trained to the same standard that the client airline mandates.

So as I see it, QF just has to contract MAM to provide support to Long Haul, and bingo. And the Long Haul EBA 7 does allow casuals, with many of the same clauses that the short haul EBA has, and appears to be breaking.

Well its been almost 8 weeks since any contact. But Qantas Recruitment in Melbourne phoned me on Tuesday. They told me they were sorry it was taking so long, but my file was in execuitve review, that my references had been contacted, and the next call I would receive would be in May, to do a medical.........has anyone else heard about their progression since their CC interviews ??

thats a step forward suelle..... well kinda. at least they contacted you. i have been waiting about the same time.... i can only hope for a similar phone call.

Been waiting too, hope I hear soon!

I received a letter in the mail today asking me to go for medical and fill out the security check form.

After QF get this info, it will take around 4 weeks to be contacted.

Anyone else get this?

Can someone please help me out with the telephone number in Sydney for recruitment?

I'm away from home at the moment and recieved an e-mail saying that my application is being held up because they are still waiting for documentation? Sure that they should have everything!

Maybe someone could send it by Private Message to me?

Thanks in advance!

I'm just wondering, these positions with Qantas that you're interviewing for, are they permanant positions, or for MAM casual/Adecco?? Which bases are they looking to fill?

Anybody out there to help with the number?

check your p.m yt13

Thanks Grove!

Called HO today, left a message for a call back, receptionist said that heaps of e-mails and letters had gone out so they were flat out - didnt get a call back so the number will come in handy!

Rollz:

Hows it going?! You've gone all quiet - must be busy!

Hi k-lo!!!

Its going really well. A bit full on, but I am able to absorb most of the infomration that is being thrown at us!!!

I dont think I have ever laughed so much in my entire life, than I have in my traning sessions!!! So many funny things have happened and thats what I look forward to everyday. The impact drills are fun and funny! (especially when we stuff up and have no idea what we are doing...we look like the biggest lost cases )

Will keep you updated at a later date hopefully! But right now I have to go and study for todays class!

Rollz

rollz royce

impact drills are fun and funny, are you serious, and its funny when you stuff up, what in the hell have we employed.
EP's are serious, that is what we are there for!
I know that EP instructors look at this site, I wonder what they think of your comments.
I hope you are never on a flight that I'm on.
How in the hell did you get in, just shows how flawed the screening process is

Aww, come on jake, don't tell me you've never got the giggles in a class before!

I think what Rollz meant is that he's having fun learning all this new stuff. To someone who loves the industry, anything you learn is 'fun'. Doesn't mean you take it any less seriously though.

It can be hard to concentrate when one menber of the class laughs, it's contagious. Then everyone laughs.

And give them a break, it's new stuff for them. Of course some things they are unfamiliar with will be funny at first. I think people need to have a sense of humour in this industry, or they'll wither up in no time!

Not to sound harsh, but you weren't at Rollz' interview, you didn't see the group activities, so you have no idea what qualities prompted them to choose Rollz. Therefore I don't really think you're in a position to say they shouldn't have hired a particular person.

I'm sure this class once they have finished training will be just as professional as anyone else - while still being able to laugh at the amusing aspects of the job!

Sky

Thank God Adecco no longer do the interviews, there were some absolute shockers that came online!!! No offence, but any man and their dog was getting in for a while there!!!!!!

Oz

Yes your'e right in a way Skysista, I wasnt there! but I have been there when we there are new classes and its a bit of a worry.
I have as much laugh and as much fun as I possibly can, and some of the things the airline industry does it a joke, However not EP's.
The public does not look at our profession seriously because of the trolley dolleys that we have, and looks like we have employed another one,.
Its the whole MAM scenario that annoys me, if only we could employ people on a permanent basis then people might look at the job differently.
I shouldnt be so hard on Rollz. but I hope you and he/she understands my position.

Jake,

I understand where you are coming from. Having fun is one thing. Being unprofessional is another. However as I said, everyone deserves their chance, maybe Rollz could have worded the enthusiasm differently!

I agree, some airline processes & procedures are a joke, and I do see your side of the story - there ARE some shockers out there!
