just for general info if it helps
I went thru brisbane interviews with MAM. I have just recieved my shortlist letter. I went thru in april and recieved my letter late July. From what I understand with the process, you are assessed throughout the interview stage and awarded points. So points are accrued during the group interview as well as during the individual interview...points are also awarded for the psyche test. They then add all your points together to get top percentages. The higher percentages go thru the first couple of training schools...then the next level get shortlist letters...and then the lower levels get the no letters.
Just my understanding of process.
Wishing you all luck with MAM jobs those who are waiting.
All the best. Hang in there - airline recruitment is never a quick process...but worth the wait when you secure the job.
Once again...all the best!

HI SMILE.
Yes you do pay for medical and security out of your own pocket.
And security checks are to ensure you have not been convicted for destruction of property,on assault charges, drug trafficking, possession etc
And yes you need to have a clean slate to gain your ASIC security card.
Cheers

Thanks Cabin Secure,
I was just asking because Virgin covered the costs of both my medical and security check. And it didn't take near as long as described above for my security clearance!!!
Anyway best of luck and congrats to all the QF and MAM people.
love SMILE

bourgeoisie or should that be " sourgeoisie",
errrr, since when did the Qantas crew decide what the pax eat ? I hardly think QF f/a's are to blame for what they serve on each flight, yes ansett meals were great and ansett was a great airline but they didn't decide what the pax ate either....just a thought burgeosie.
smile - i reckon VB must have their own contacts in the federal police to get you guys thru the process so fast, a few vb friends of mine also got their checks completed straight away, is it true they found a conviction for " indecent exposure " on you missy ?
GOOD LUCK TO MAM APPLICANTS !
qantas crews are cocooned from what the real world wants - i flew mel to syd, dinner flight and was served a cold salad, with no tea/coffee service offered, and another flight, mel to adl, snack flight, again with no tea/coffee service.

I reckon QF must make a small fortune on those security check cheques!
When I got all the way through & had medicals etc, I sent them a cheque to have my security check done & later got the no letter but didn't get my money back. I know it wasn't a problem with my security check ( I hold an asic card now and held one at the time & have no crim record) Back then it was $34 for the check. Just think how much money they make off of people who don't get a job and therefore don't get the checks done!!

MAM/QF recruitment(Melb)
Hello all,
I was extremely grateful when told of this site & recently browsed your thoughts,news,hopes,dreams et*****il I found this site I felt quite isolated & alone(I was constantly wondering if anyone I met during the process had "heard anything" & was unable to find out) as I too have just completed I/V process with MAM in Melbourne & completed medical last week(I hassled the poor Dr to send off my medical info ASAP,and found out that they checked my references only 4/7 after my last interview-24th July.
Eventhough I try and remain positive & open-minded, I could not help but feel very disappointed to hear that after such a long,tough process, there comes bad news for some.There is much speculation,anticipation,frustration & at times disappointment when one aspires to become a flight attendant.During every stage of the process I met some great people,just as driven & passionate to be a flight attendant than me and I looked around the room to see that everyone going through-successful & unsuccessful, had what it takes.I found myself often saying to myself-I hope he/she gets through,especially some of the Ex-Ansett people I met who found themselves having to convince recruiters that they have what it takes to do what they had been doing until they lost their jobs.
No, I have not heard anything yet-I find myself constantly checking my phone & hoping that I don't get that "no"letter.
I t would be nice to hear from anyone from Melbourne recruitment to help make this dreaded waiting period easier???
Good-luck to all who are waitng to hear..lets hope it's good news soon!

cart tart... just for your info, QF runs every check that is paid for - just cos you dont get the job doesnt mean they dont run the tests, and then keep the money. Its all a matter of public record. 
cabin secure, you are wrong about the assault thingy - I have held asic cards for 4 different airlines over the past ten years, and have a (shameful!!) assault charge on my criminal record (pub brawl back when I was 20 !!).... recently asked QF security what stops you from getting ASIC approval, its all drug related/ trafficking/ pornography/ espionage ... so a normal 'country-boy' criminal record wont stop you getting it

About that security check...highly unlikely u need a clean slate...know of a girl that got into QF short haul, lost her drivers licence three times, yes "three times" twice from drink driving figure that!!...there'd be a lot less pilots in the air if you had to have a "clean slate".
fingers crossed for you all

I believe that QF have already notified all the unsuccessful applicants through the post. I know 2 people that recieved the "no letter" last Friday.
So I am guessing that if you have still heard nothing since your medical, then it could be good news.

I know of a couple of people in Sydney that recieved the "no thanks" letter late last week. My friend in Melb has already had his ref's checked.
I wouldn't be to concerned if you still haven't heard anything. From what I have heard about QF, it can be a long old process. I knew a girl that didn't hear anything for almost 12 months, but finally she was contacted and now she is a short haul FA.
Goodluck again to all that are waiting...hopefully it will be good news very soon

There is still hope
For all those still waiting to hear back from MAM,
My friend in Sydney just had his ref's checked yesterday. So by the sounds of it, another ground school is about to go through.

Hey Guys,
Hang in there, MAM called me today and offerd me a start date late august, but I had to knock it back as I am becoming a Australian F/A and start my cabin crew training with Australian Airlines in Cairns in September, After 4 yrars of trying and my 12th interview for the flight attendant position I was offerd both in the same week it was so hard to have to turn down the MaM offer as I have always had the no letter. Good luck to all of you dont give up keep trying........
take care

Hi Australian Boy,
What was the start date that MAM offered you in August?
Congrats to you, and good luck with Australian. It's really good to hear that after 12 interviews you were successful. That is such an achievment. Well done, you'll love it.
Just curious, but why did you take Australian over MAM?
