Hello to everyone. Just became a member today and have been reading all of your responses. Wow.
Can someone pls answer a few questions for me.
I applied to Qantaslink Impulse back in March for their Melb base, went to the group seminar and was unsuccesful after being mailed a "no thanks"letter 4 weeks later. I have now reapplied about 4 weeks ago and have not heard anything from them. Not even an e-mail to confirm reciept of my application. i have read that some of you have also had alot of trouble sending your aplications to them as i did when filling in the form. Is this normal (i dont think so)
I would love to work for Impulse and have flown on the 717 before and was fantastic.
Would luv to hear from any of you in the same postion as me.
Regards,
flightboi

Hello all...
It's been a very busy couple of weeks at the Pulse. Ditzy - have you seen my pillow and blanket - someone took it from the coat locker when I wasn't looking (oops - crew rest I should say babe!)
To Paul and Bvb - congrats kids - look forward to seeing you on the day of training school on the 26th (am doing a presentation to you all before I start airport standby - knowing my luck I'll be flying away before the standby starts!!!)
To flightbunny - babe, don't take things too harshly - these things happen! I soooo know how you feel (hey - 11 interview rejections make you a VERY strong person afterwards!)...as the guys have said, there is work to be done! The joy of getting that job offer is such a high, it's worth all the work in the world to achieve it! Believe me - I've been on a high since I started and still going strong!
As for all those out there in HR limbo - please understand that apart from anything else, airline HR departments are one of the most overworked and underappreciated sections of any company. Given the amount of expansion that has gone on at the pulse in the last year (almost doubling our fleet in 6 months), they've handled things well...however, some applications do slip the net, and some good applicants get missed. Reapply - and not just to the pulse - if you want to fly bad enough make it show! Apply to all and sundry as much as possible!
Cabinboy and I spent years trying to get flying - we could get every other job we wanted within each of the airlines we worked for - except that one elusive area...but hey presto, after many tears, hard work and hard core grooming, we got there in the end! IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU - and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise!
Now that I am off my soapbox, I look forward to seeing all and sundry who were successful at the interviews on the 26th for a pep rally (let's hear an I, let's hear an M!)

Paul All the best, for ground school. I start my ground school for national Jet Systems/QantasLink on the 9th of September. What an honour it will be to put on that Qantas Uniform. Im sure we will both wear the uniform with pride and honour. All the best and make sure you keep in touch.

Hope you have fun over the next few weeks in ground school. I had a blast but back then they sent us to CBR for three weeks!
When is your CRM? I have mine on 3 and 4 September. I looked up the crew list and don't recognise any of the names of cabin crew, could they be on your ground school? I am with a lot of tech crew by the looks. I wasn't aware that we even had to do CRM every two years but there you go. Looks sort of interesting. The CRM I did in 2000 really sucked!
So have fun and study hard. Nah, it isn't that hard. The trainers are really nice and you'll make friends really fast. Good luck! Drop me a line over the next few weeks.

Hope you enjoy NJS. I have a friend that works for them in Darwin. She loves it!

Wow.... it's now starting to sink in...
I now have my uniform!!!
It's real!!!!
The 'chosen ones' in our groundschool, 14 in total (3males - 11females) are a fantastic bunch of people.
(I would feel comfortable trusting them with my life)
Ground school is awsome... we're so keen to learn.. everything from how to unblock the toilet to the cute little safety demo
(i think i'll need to practice that one
)
Our trainers are very nice and extremely helpfull....
We're having so much fun.. this is the best thing ever..
Let me tell you .. all the hard work of getting here has paid off.
Go for your Dream!
Ditz.. Howdy sunshine.. i think our CRM training is scheduled for about the 16th or 17th... though not confirmed yet. So if your at the Jet Base on the 3rd and 4th we'll do lunch and I'll introduce you to the new crew!

As a general rule - do NOT trust crew you have known for two seconds with doing your equipment checks, let alone your life!!!
Like I said the above is a general rule but I guess you need to get burned a few times before you learn. It all seems like harmless stuff. "Yeah Paul, it's between you and me..." behind the galley curtain but don't be surprised if you have a guy or girl fly with you weeks later and say "Oh, you are the one that...." Honey it ain't worth it. This industry relies on gossip. Idle gossip is cool but don't make yourself, or anyone else the subject of it. We all get bored in the galley and things will slip. It is all innocent chatter but things get passed on and stories embelished out of boredom. If you don't want the whole world to know something do not tell a soul!
Happy Flying

Hello all
Hope all of you guys who have started your ground schools recently are enjoying them and having a great time.
I'm still waiting to hear from impulse hr as to if they recieved my application on-line. I rang them last week and they explained to me that they have had trouble with the web site and if i could print off a copy of the application form, fill it out and send it normal mail to them with my resume attached. This is is what i'm in the process of doing now.
This is a real pain, but i suppose if it gets me one step closer!! I really am only interested in Melb base at this stage though, and explained this to them. The girl i spoke to was really nice and encouraged me to apply again.
Is anyone else in the same boat?
Regards,
flightboi

Has anyone recently had an iterview? or participated in the Group Interview?
I would be interested to know if anyone from Adelaide has made it through, and what bases they are currently recruiting for.
Any pointers for the interview with regard to the questions?
Thanks muchly...

I went to the group interview, and later that night was phoned and asked to attend a 2nd interview the next morning.
'Polita' and 'Natalie' were very nice, and made me feel relaxed. They said they will get back to me within 3 weeks after they had interviewed in MEL and HBA. They said only half a doz. were asked for a 2nd interview, so for 800 or so ADL applicants, I guess just to have got this far was a bonus
I am keeping my fingers crossed!
