Interesting to hear that some people perceived the AA interviews were more relaxed than the QF ones, as I have also heard the exact opposite from some of the candidates.
Congratulations to those who were successful! I think all letters are out now so at least the suspense is over.
Some food for thought now;
17% of all successful applicants were residents of Cairns/FNQ.
So far as I can ascertain, all ex AWAS staff involved with the recent QF charters who applied to AA were successful.
One successful applicant was known to be some months pregnant when offered a job and will be unable to fly due to health reasons when services commence.
It will be fascinating to see who now takes up their offers to relocate to Cairns since, even as I write, MAM (lurved the "French" influence to the name Maurice on the tape btw
, very sophisticated for a re-invented socialist ) is offering positions to many of the successful candidates.
To those who didn't succeed, my commiserations. Disappointing I know but it is not a reflection of your unsuitability for the flight attendant role. Perhaps more a reflection of the process or that your network of contacts wasn't as extensive as others. Remember that there will be a Southern base opening when the next phase of the airline's growth kicks in in 2003. Keep trying and good luck.

Medicals and No's
Keep your chin up.
They did start sending the NO letters out on Tuesday this week
Even as late as Yesterday (Thursday 18/7) people got medicals in the mail.
Good luck to all

OK, I officially failed again.............
At least they have been nice till the end: they encourage me to reapply as soon as they advertise again. Better than "get lost for six to twelve months before showing us your face again, you loser"!
Congrats to the ones that made it! Don't leave PpruNe now that you got the job: many of us need your advice and help!
The others... well, I'm with you... together better than alone... let's drink over it for a night or two and we'll get over it!!
I also apologize with Maradona for not answering his topic earlier (a topic just for me, wu-huu! I'm famous! As well as broke and unemployed! Ugh!). Reason being: I relocated with Mr. FloatJockey to the north of New South Wales (ex-Impulse routes...) and the PC was in a box... sorry!).
Btw, 2 weeks ago I called MAM for Qantas domestic, got my registration number, then called Qantas to check for my visa (sub-class 820 spouse visa, first year) and I got told "Sorry, you need to be a permanent resident to allow you travelling from/to Australia, so you cannot participate, see you in two years, when you become permanent resident". My point is: if the job is DOMESTIC, what is the problem with having 2 years temporary residency??? I would not go outside the country for work anyway!!
Who knows...
Gotta read 3 weeks of PPruNe topics, I'd better go!

Bad Luck Floatjockey
Keep on trying though!
I haven't heard officially yet since medical but I know one thing thing that gave me an advantage so far was studying Japanese. I set my sights on Australian back in January and picked up a Japanese book for the first time then. I studied full time for 6 months and managed to get a level 3 in the UNSW test. It wasn't the required level 4 but I am sure it helped.
So nobody despair. It is not that hard but with the right dedication and focus if I could get it then anyone could.
Has anyone out there been given the official nod yet. I think they stated that postions would be offered in August. Fingers crossed soon

I think it's fantastic that you got a Level 3 in Japanese in just 6 months!! I've been studying German and am hoping to get a level 4 when I do the test. I think I hover between a 3 and 4 level so will just have to see how I go on the day.
All the best of luck to you!
Cheers
