Hi CrashAxe, she wasn't a close friend but she did have a LOT of trouble handling the early starts and kept missing flights, she also failed a check and had to undergo re-training for a bit. She didn't do well with study either. It just wasn't for her.

Hi did anyone else get a call back for the 15th of September? I was having trouble hearing the phone call but I got the time right.

How did everyone else go?

Ohh... I heard it was r e a l l y competitive today.

Best of luck... Don't be suprised if you didn't get in. It's a tough process.

It sure was tough competition yesterday..There were some massive personalities at my table.

Fingers crossed can I ask what happened in the next interview? Was it focusing on customer service?

It was a strange interview, a bit of casual chatting, a bit of info on salary etc, then some hard questions, then back to chatting, totally not what I expected though.

I was on a table with some big personalities also, will be interesting to see if the big ones get another interview. I thought i was a bit subdued, was actually quite surprised I found it a bit intimidating to be honest.

CrashAxe you're right it is a very tough process

Am looking forward to the next interview.

Fingers Crossed / PinkMonae:

Who interviewed you? My friend was there and told me that there were two separate teams - the guy (G) and the girl with long blond hair (K) and then another guy (J) with a girl with brown curly hair (B)?

Hopefully you'll have done OK through the interview. Did they say when you find out?

I was interviewed by G and K. They were both really nice and laid back which kept me at ease. I think they said that I'd get an email within the week, I can't really remember as I was so fatigued, drained and nervous. All the best for you interview Pinklemonae

I have heard that they may need someone in Mildura for a six month posting.
But with the expansion they may be on for longer.

Cheers and good luck

Does anyone know if many got a second interview? After I got my call I didn't hang around. And also was there another assessment day.

Hmmm Good question. Yeah, I'd love to know how many make it through.


Mouse: Mildura eh? That sounds like fun. Hey, does anyone know anyone who works in Mildura? Can anyone comment on what it's like?

It's hard to know what they're looking for, I know that in the past they have knocked back working flight attendants from other airlines. I would think that would be an asset to the company . I remember looking critically (sizing up my competion )around the room in the group interview and I would've personally picked well over half of the people there. I really think it would've been hard to pick. Who knows how they did Luckily I was picked for the second interview and now the wait

I know what you mean!!! During the break I was talking to a woman who was so calm and elegant, she was so nice, I told her I was nervous and she gave me some great tips on how to stay calm. I remember thinking that if I were in a situation I would want her on the plane with me Anyway I saw her leave as I went in for my interview so I know that she got through the group.

CrashAxe, you asked about Mildura. I'm not based there so can't comment on the lifestyle, but the roster is very limited. Mainly day flying with one early and one late shift.
I doubt though whether a Mildura position would be offered to a Sydney applicant as almost all of the non locals hired previously didn't last long: they were too desperate to move back to their home towns to give it a fair go.
