Basically, you'll fly to SIN and HKG (do QF fly to BKK from the UK??) for two night slips (five day trip).
I was chatting to some UK-based QF crew the other week in SIN (Insomnia baby!!!) and though fairly happy in thier jobs, they mentioned that perhaps the money isn't the best. I really don't know as I haven't read the QF thread - go have a look though.

Actually, the base isn't too bad at all.
The discussions that the other posters speak of mostly relate to the industrial issues in Australia and not in the UK.
I might add that they do not represent ALL the crew in Qantas nor do posters from other airlines represent everyone in their respective airlines. Something to remember perhaps
The pay is about standard for UK based airlines and there are three long haul ports (BKK, SIN, HKG) plus we also do some summer charter flights which are short haul.
Feel free to pvt message me if you want more info - we don't all bite, in fact 99% of us are very nice.

Further to that - these discussions are now in the domain of D&G, so I'm keeping my responses short.
So no offence but I'd prefer to answer QF UK questions mostly via pvt msg.

Ezyjet 2006.. All i can say is, if you really want to work for QFUK GO FOR IT!!! I have friends that are over there at the moment and they are loving every moment of it.
I've applied to go to QFUK with the next lot of OZ crew that are going over on LWP.
Is anyone in here existing Oz based CC that are over in the LHR base on LWP?
if so please share your expierences as to what it was like when you first got to LHR and if it was easy finding somewhere to live.

QFUK Cabin crew recruitment
Personally as I am not QFUK crew i wouldn't know the exact procedures of their recruitment, but it's probably like what they have in aus. Just be yourself, the recruiters can tell if you are putting on an act, if you be yourself and shine naturrally the job will be yours.

Ello
Im Also QCCUK crew
We are a totally seperate company to QF AUS - the base is fantastic and the crew are fabulous - its still a young base so changes need to be made...
I have a serious problem with people whinging about the salary. This is mentioned to all candidates on the day of interview so how any one can moan ill never know - the only down side is that our sector pay is taxed which is not good - if you save some allowances you can easily bring back £100.00 per trip back so earn a decent whack....
BKK are the least amount paid so crew tend not to save that but I have just done 6 HKG in a row and I have brought a min of £100.00 each time and thats £600.00 extra to my salary - and before you ask NO i never spent all the time in my room.....
The crew in LHR AUS or UK recruited are some of the nicest and most professional and most of all fun crew I have ever worked with.
Please pay HARDLY attention to the "OTHER QF FORUM" ask crew that know!!!!!!.
I have been at QCCUK for 8 months now and enjoy my job very much.

Hi Ezyjet2006,
It's good to see that you are doing a little research on Qantas and what to expect. It's a good idea to go into any interview with some decent knowledge of the company you want to work for. In this case, know a little about the Qantas network, know about the destinations you would be expected to fly to (mainly HKG, BKK, SIN), what type of aircraft we fly, etc. Don't go overboard, or you might appear to be a bit of a ****, but you shouldn't go in totally ignorant either.
Good luck :-)

QANTAS Welcome aboard day
Hi Guys,
Have been accepted for the welcome aboard day on the 12th, would be good to know who else is going on that day.
Am looking forward to it in a nervous kind of way. Was shocked to get an invite as am not crew, even though I'm on a waiting list for a Bmi training course.
Would be cool to chat to anyone who is going on that day(or on any other of the days)
Thanks guys.
