MISSED out on MAM QANTAS
Hi All,
after months of waiting I finally got the rejection email from MAM for Qantas casual work. I thought given I had had the medical and 2 ref. checks it was just a mater of being patient but I was wrong! It is very disheartening to go through feeling like you are moving towards a job offer only to get the rejection email
.
Has anyone else got the flick this week?

Flibbertigibbet I'm so sorry 
that sux so much 
If it is any kind of consolation, i am feeling more & more certain that all of us who are waiting are going to get the same response. I don't want to believe rumours as fact, but it seems very likely from everything that we've been hearing that they are not in a position to take on as many crew as they thought. It would've been because of the limited places available that you got that email, not because you missed the final cut somehow.

Don't take it personally
there are too many crew,as stated on this forum before the new Carmen system has optimized crew resources.
Yes its a shame that QF put you through all this and then tell you "sorry"
They have been doing this for as long as I know! they really have no respect for the individuals feelings.
The left hand really does not know what the right is doing.
Look they they stuff up all the time, there will be more recruitment there always is!

No reason
just the usual letter. Weird thing is they did my checks and my medical over a month ago so why wait until now to send the email. I know I passed my medical as I have a friend in the office who said I got the all clear and my referees are fine.

That is so bizarre! If you have passed the medical and reference checks are fine then why NO?????????? I just don't understand them!! It's just so awful that they have waited this long to send you the email! But surely if it's got something to do with all the rumours going around about them not needing as many casuals as they anticipated, then you would think that they would call you to explain that and not just send the standard "I'm sorry you have been unsuccessfull" email.....
They are doing my head in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Well they actually called me about 3 weeks ago now telling me I had been successfull..but the training course they offered me was too soon and I couldn't accept it..But they told me that they would put me in the next training school once they had confirmation of a date.. So I am waiting for that call... But since hearing all these rumours..I'm now getting worried

FCP were you on a waiting list from before, or were the march rounds the first time you'd been interviewed for QF? I thought the people who were selected for the recent ground schools were the people who'd already been waiting for ages on the old waiting list...not sure if that's correct though?

Yep, that was the date they offered me..23 May..If I had accepted I would have been in that class now..Oh well, I just couldn't..Had your friend been on a waiting list?? Or was it there first time applying for MAM? Have trainers told your friend anything about future training schools?

OMG they are so lucky!!! My assessment day was on thursday - maybe i should've gone to an earlier one?!!! Wouldn't it break your heart if it was just a matter of where your name appears on the list of final candidates. 
Hope there's something they can still do for you FCP, given that you were definitely successful but unable to fit into their schedule.

Oh dear
Just checked my email, I got one too Flibbertigibbet.
Thanks for your recent participation in the selection process for the MAM Flight Attendant role. We have certainly enjoyed meeting with you through this process.
By this stage your application has been seriously and rigorously assessed, in terms of individual merit and suitability for the position and after careful consideration on this occasion we will not be proceeding further with your application at this time.
We were extremely fortunate to receive a large number of high quality applications. The inevitable result is that some very good candidates will be disappointed that they have not been selected.
A period of 6 months from the date of this e-mail must elapse before your application will be reconsidered for future positions. Please register your details on www.mam.net.au should you wish to be reconsidered in the future.
This is, of course, dependent on whether we are recruiting at the time.
Thank you greatly for the time and effort you have invested in your application, hopefully you will not let this result disappoint you too much or indeed deter you from registering on the MAM website for future opportunities.

Hey Guys - Chin up
I really feel for all of you...
Im a BRIT and we are so lucky we have dozens and dozens of airlines to choose from - altho remember the FA job is no where near as highly thought of as it is in AUS - Come to the UK and Fly for QF UK - its a great company crew are fantastic - still got teething problems but then its a new base - believe me the crew make up for it - NEVER have a bad crew or rotten flight.
