Also whats the go with them recruiting, any girls got an invite, only know guys that have got in, and these 5 girls I know who applied, not one got an interview and they are all Cabin Crew with the red roo. Is there mat leave out of control or something?

Hey Trollie,
Just wondering are u a preferred language speaker, do you have a friend from AO who recommended you, and do u currentlty work for the QF group?
The only reason i ask is that they were some of the questions asked on the application and a good friend of mine has applied but not heard anything yet... however his preference for an interview was Mel..
Hope you're able to shed some light on the matter...
And best of luck with the interviews.

have heard on the grapevine that around 60 people being interviewed this weekend/week in Cairns with nearly all of them language speakers. Has anyone without a language received an interview? If so are you from Cairns and what have you been told as appears to be a few stories circulating. Does anyone know when the "referred" candidates are likely to see an interview in the future?

Would be very interested to hear the outcome as well - I guess if the interviews have already been booked that means you'd have heard by now if there was a chance of getting in...that bites

Hi Wine O Babe,
If you were counting on going through in the current recruitment, I think you may have missed out, as it's my understanding that the interviews have already taken place last weekend, or the weekend before.
I'm, guessing you will have to wait for when we next recruit. Did you apply on line within the specified time frame?
Best of luck with future recruitment.

Hi Aloyscious
The page you are after is:
http://www.bfound.net/login.aspx?coid=191
or try:
http://www.australianairlines.com.au...mployment.html
then click "View Australian Airlines recruitment"
I'm sure you can use your own email address for registration purpose. However, the recruitment has closed for now, don't think you can register though. Hope this helps.

So if they have just done some more interviews , what have they been looking for? Do you need to have Japanese to get one ,or something else?
What are the future plans? Are they going to give AO more aircraft or is it just to fill a crew shortage?

QFskywalker, maybe they didn't find enough talent from the applications. Though, I thought they did? That's good news for hopefuls then that interviews are still happening.
Primarily they have been looking for applicants with language abilities, namely Japanese.
Not sure about future recruitment, this recruitment was to fill crew shortages. No aircraft coming that we know of.
Have a great day,

Who says applying to Jet* will get you overnights in Rome ? Career Prospects ? Nothing has been announced yet.
Who says it wont be the Australian Airlines division who do the international services on behalf of Jet* ?
Who says AO won't be kept running ?
No-one has said anything officially yet.

"apply to J*"
If J* was to take over I wonder wher that would leave AO cabin crew??? would they be automatically offered positions? would they have to reapply for their jobs? can the company pick and choose?
how was it done with QFlink/Impulse??????

Can any of the current AO staff confirm if the below quote (from a post on another site) about AO recruitment is true?
"you have to be recommended.. annoying policy but you do. so if you want an ao job make SURE you have a language, recommendation and more in the 23-30 age bracket."
I know the recent recruitment was mostly for language speakers, but do you still have a chance without a recommendation??

Things are hotting up over this issue, but my advice is for everyone just to stay calm.
Getting worked up and angry is futile - especially in the absence of anything concrete or official.
Yes, we all know how the inner workings of QF and co. collude to upset employees, etc, but - until we hear anything for certain - let's just keep doing what we do best.

I know part of that statement is not true "you have to have another language". As my friend is going through in the next ground school and she doesn't have another language.
As for the other two points, I have no info about them. Yes they did ask for reccomendations however that doesn't gaurantee you a position.
Hope this helps somewhat.
Have a great night.

Well didn't get in, already work for red rat group, but its all good, a little unsettling all this JQ talk, I don't wanna end up on $35k a year with my head down a dunny on our 30 min turnaround in Bali, F&^K that for a joke... good luck to the rest. I know 4 asian speakers (and were also asians) got in from my group, 2 didn't even want it and have lets just say "long term goals", interesting, anyway would have been a great opportunity, I'll just stick to the dash! haha later.
