hi bella,
i got a call from them on the 23 july. i also got no reply from them advising that they received my resume and app form. i'm not sure if it has something to do with the preferences for bases. as the lady i spoke to said that they are interviewing for syd and hba bases this time round.....
they might be getting round to you so u never know...fingers crossed for u... 
and every one else...

Howdy,
Have interview with impulse next week and understand that positions are only in Sydney and Hobart. MORE than happy to move if successfull but just wondering what impulse/qantaslinks policy is on transfers? Would they let existing crew transfer (eg. Sydney or Hobart crew) to Melbourne before employing new crew for the Melbourne base in the future?
Any Impulse/Qantaslink crew able to help?
Thanks and good luck to all with interviews next week.

There has never been much interest within our ranks at Impulse for SYD FAs to move to MEL or vice versa.... I guess if I was to put in an expression of interest to move to MEL I would get the next slot. Don't know.
Oh and I'll be darned. Last night at the Impulse Staff Pep Rally (the bubbly was great!) it was announced that we shall recieve full unlimited QF Staff Travel Benefits from October 1. There you go - didn't think that would happen for a while.

It is great - the whole staff travel thing! I am very pleased that we finally got it. Feel like more of a member of the QF family now.
However I must post a cynical comment to keep the fans happy. With my overly impressive 'seniority' of a November 2000 start date and the fact that I work for a 'division' of Qantas I have as much a chance getting on a packed BKK flight as a drunk knife wielding maniac! There now I feel better
No, really it is a good thing and I can't stress that QF were never obligated to give us staff travel. We are lucky and things are getting better all the time.
stevemelb -
There were actually a whole bunch of girls from MEL that relocated to HBA to start with the company. So, yeah, I guess any MEL position (not due any time soon) would be offered to those who have indicated they want to move back.

Great news, I must say
Ditzy you'll find that QF staff travel is not as bad as you think. You are still well ahead of travel agents etc etc on ID75 tickets and as long as you are wise with your choices on destinations and travelling times then you are about to experience one of the great perks for being employed as a " link-chick ".

Hi peoples! Good luck!
I hit a recruiter up at this party we had on Friday and asked what were the things that they looked for in candidates. This person had the following high up on their list:
Well Groomed
Great Smile
An 'at home' sort of vibe
Balanced Personality
Worldly
Passion for the job that people can see through not what you say or do but how you say or do it. Subtle enthusiasm over hyperactivity (which is how some people come across).
They also said that anyone that got through would have to have "shined" during interviews. I don't know what that means.... Perhaps wear glossy foundation or really bright clothes. Maybe bring a torch. Heaven forbid I work in recruiting!!!
Oh and research all about the 717 and Impulse as a company. ie. They started as a newspaper forwarder for Fairfax and consumed Oxley Airlines, which was founded in 1983. The Boeing site has some great info about the 717. I don't mean statistics or fuel burn ratios but stuff like the 2-3 seating config and Easy-Fit overhead lockers and handrails that light up at night....
**They will ask you what you know about the 717 and Impulse as a company so be prepared.**
About the 717:

http://www.airtran.com/info/aircrafts/passenger.jsp
(some of the info doesn't relate to Impulse 717s but you get the idea)

Hope that helps kids.
