I've got a Qantaslink-sunstate interview !

[FloatJockey]

Well JetRacer, if you have 5000 hours, PIC experience and a 737 NG endorsement (that did cost you over 30'000 A$ in September 2001) and ask for a job at Sunstate, they'll probably tell you what they told us: "You should work for VB! How'z it you come here to look for work?" <img src="frown.gif" border="0"> . .The point is that VB doesn't give a damn about my husband and we cannot understand why. <img src="confused.gif" border="0"> . .Well, long story short, these people are great even when they say no. If you are lucky enough NOT to have a 737 type rating, then you might have better chances!. .Good luck!

By the way, did anyone apply through seek.com.au for casual pitcrew/check-in staff at sydney airport, posted 3 days ago? Not that I fancy staying on the ground but it's another way to "sneak in" . .I e-mailed my resume, called the guy but only got to talk to the switchboard to find out they were submerged with requests and that they would let me know shortly... (Sounds pretty classic... anyone who tried the VB switchboard knows what I am talking about... <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0"> . .Any info appreciated!

Cheers,

Hi Guys,

Cabin Boy - well done you! Yourself, Kely and Cloudy have started the ball rolling and am sure it's now just a matter of time for the rest of us. Big cheer and all that.

FloatJockey, I applied for the ground crew job as well. Apparently they have had over 400 applications for only 5 casual positions. Mystified over which airline it is though. Anyone know?

Hiya Kem....

I think its Virgin.....

Goodluck...

[FloatJockey]

Thanks for the info Kem. Unfortunately they never came back to me... who knows... <img src="frown.gif" border="0">

I really start losing hope... maybe I didn't try hard enough or my background simply sucks (dive instructor), buuuh...

Anyone with something POSITIVE?

What about you Cloud 9? I read you are stage 2/medical? Did you have previous C.C. experience?. .How is it going?

hi there all,. .Been reading your posts about ground staff being advertised. i too applied for this position. advertised in the local paper (St George and Sutherland Shire) thru a recruiting agency, rang agency to ask what happened, said that Virgin blue had already filled positions, not using applicants from agency...was told 400 applicantions sent in, and 15 positions available.. .Miss22..any news from QF..me none.

Hi T.-D., thanks for your info. I got the envelope today in the mail. It is R.C. The course is very expensive: AUS 264.- manual incl. I don't think I can afford that.... .The info I got (the 7 pieces of paper enclosed all look like adds for cellulite cream by the way...) say:. .- vb is expanding australia-wide (Darwin and Tasmania) and is recruiting! (really?????). .- Eastern (Q-Link) is accepting applications for future positions based in Sydney.. .- Also: there are many overseas based opportunities available . .and the best: "Let R.C. help you GET THE EDGE"!

Also loads of personal comments from successful attendants saying "thank you, you have changed my life..." blah blah...

Not for me.
