"Thats the airline business...always has always will be.."
-----------
What COMPLETE and utter rubbish.
I have almost 20 years in this business and sitting around waiting for the phone to ring and living week to week with no guarranteed income is most definitely NOT the norm.
Rampant casualisation is a recent development and a function of the Howard government. It is a means by which employers can reduce the pay and conditions of employees.
It also serves to create a more "compliant" workforce.
The type who are terrified of speaking their minds lest they be sacked or not given work at the whim of their employer.
Those wishing for a life in this industry [and others] beyond being a "means of production" ought to exercise some thought when voting at the next federal election.

Dont worry, the VR package is out and fingers crossed we will lose a number of old boilers like speedbirdhouse. 20 + years, move on and let some new blood in. Thats what management want and will get

Finally news!
Hi all,
I too had my interviews back in March and have been waiting, waiting, waiting and now finally some news!
I just got an email advising me that I had been put on the short list for 6 months! I understand that it is very quiet now so hopefully its the best result possible at the moment.
Is anyone else in the same boat? Would love to hear from you!

Congrats DesertCrew!!!!! I got the dream phone call today too!!!! I feel like I am in some sort of dream. I've been waiting for over 4 years for this phone call, and been given the 'sorry, but you have been unsuccessful' email so many times. So when they rang today I thought someone was pulling my leg 
Where are you training? Melbourne? Anyone else get the phone call? All the best for those playing the waiting game. Hang in there!!!

MAM Website- There is a vague chance of getting to a recruitment day.
Staff CV Website for QF - At this stage they are only using this to source applicants for QF Link.

Hi,
If you do a search there's heaps been posted recently on MAM - a lot of people are in the same boat as your friend. Hang in there though, people have been called in the last few days who went in March...!
