MAM Conditions
multiple type endorsement
Hello Oneworldairline,
As far as i'm aware there is not a limit on the number of types you can be approved to operate on, however I've heard talk that CASA wants to introduce a limitation rule.
Presently at Qantas, S/H crew operate B737 (two variants) B767 (two variants) and A330 (two variants).
L/H crew operate B747 (two variants), B767 and A330 aircraft.
There is no legal restriction to a flight attendant being certified to operate on all of these types, however because there is two divisions of crew at Qantas, not all crew are endorsed on all types - the overlap is the 767 and 330.

Hello,
I attended my interview on the 13th November 2006, then they said it would be up to two weeks either a phone call or a email?
I am still waiting though, but the funny thing is I have been offered another job and I am thinking what should i do.......
Are they telling people who went for the recent interviews in November?
Cheers

Who have you been offered another job with Skystar?
PM me if you don't want to disclose publicly.
I notice you're based in Perth and am wondering if I think it's who I think it's with. If so I have some info that may help you decide what to do.

Sorry Sky...I thought it was with another airline!
You could always say yes to the Gov job and then resign if you get in with MAM. And who knows - it could be a few months or more before you even get a ground school. By the time that rolls around you may have decided that you don't really want to work casually and that you're quite happy with your flexi-time!!
Good luck!

I believe it will affect mam staff first.

Kbear,
How will it affect MAM crew first?
In what way?
I am not aware of the potential takeover bid meaning that QF will downsize, so that wouldnt mean that they reduce crew numbers.
SH is currently very short of crew - loads of fulltimers constantly getting drafted on their days off etc..
So how will affect the MAMers?

MAM First?
I think KBear is concerned because there is no obligation for QF to maintain our employment should something change. Afterall, we are an easily dispensable workforce being "casual". Yet, I think there is good reason for concern from the perspective of all staff, weather they be crew, engineering, permanent or casual.
KBear, all we can do is wait, I for one, have maintained a position that this could happen one day regardless of a take-over bid or not. That way, I'm prepared. Hang in there for now! :-)

Yes, I agree, I am concerned and perhaps I should have edited my post, as I do believe that if this affects anybody it will not be restricted to MAM staff.
I myself am not employed by MAM, but have recently been interviewed by them, with the hope of one day being employed by them (perhaps that may take awhile and perhaps I will never be employed by them, but that’s another story).
I have in the past; lost a job and saw my friends loose their job also, as a result of ruthless shareholders and bosses who didn't know how to tighten their own belts to save staff. So, yes I am concerned.
I also thought that this would be an interesting topic of discussion and I would like to know if anybody has any thoughts on this topic, negative or positive.

Hi Missymoo, believe me, there is no "normal" time frame for them to get back to you. I somtimes think they take on too much recruitment, that they just don't cope, but thats is purely speculation on my behalf. They will eventually get back to you.... Keep us posted.
Hang in there and good luck!

Hey missymoo
Dont worry I went through the rounds in sydney and they told us 2 weeks. That's coming up on tuesday and i've not heard a peep either. They are very unpredictable, just gotta hang in there and try to distract yourself in the mean time. If you haven't had either a phone call or an email after two weeks maybe then give them a call to check.

they told us that if you hadn't heard from them by two weeks then you didn't make the cut, unfortunately.
I was at the Sydney recruitment day on the 14th also and I am still awaiting news.

Qantas takeover could be all on within two weeks
Monday November 27, 2006
SYDNEY - A formal takeover bid for Qantas could be launched within a fortnight and a group closely associated with industry superannuation funds might be involved.
The Weekend Australian has named union-friendly investment company Industry Funds Management (IFM) as a consortium backer. IFM is run by Gary Weaven, a former assistant-secretary of the Australian Council of Trade Unions, who has been involved with union-based industry funds since they emerged from the Prices-Incomes Accord of the Hawke-Keating government.
Qantas chief executive Geoff Dixon played down speculation, saying it was still "very early days".
The consortium is understood to have approached Qantas last month and is already conducting due diligence, sources told the Weekend Australian. It is mulling a bid for Qantas that could be worth up to A$11 billion ($12.86 billion), or A$5.50 a share.
The consortium is led by US private equity firm, Texas Pacific Group, and Macquarie Bank. Canada's Onex Corp, which has experience in airline catering and aircraft parts manufacturing, is believed to have joined.
Sources said they believed the takeover bid would be resolved, one way or the other, within two weeks.
On Friday Australia's Prime Minister, John Howard, ruled out changing foreign ownership laws to accommodate foreign corporate raiders. Foreign ownership of Qantas is capped at 49 per cent. Single shareholders can hold up to 25 per cent and foreign airlines up to 35 per cent.

So, if the bid goes ahead and they succeed... does that mean GD will be out? Or will he still be CEO?
What affects will there be on the staff of Qantas (and or MAM) if it does go ahead.
cheers,
