How r u, well it was a hard decision to have to make as I am all ready Sydney based with Virgin blue as Ground crew, I have always wanted to work for Qantas mainline, but I have a few ex ansett friends (Flight Force) who informed me that some weeks thay only got 1 shift a fortnight etc, as ther is stabillity of hours as it is a casual position, I was offerd the Australian F/A position 1 day befor the MAM position, I have choosen Australian as it is fulltime and longhaul......after all the no letters over the last 4 years it was upseting to have to knock back a Flight Attendant offer. Do u think I should have taken Mam instead look forward to your reply........
Take care

Well done on your position with Australian. Just for your information work allocation with current MAM is quite different to what it was when it was Flight Force. It is entirely allocated by Qantas crewing (not MAM), and I have not had a single day yet where there has been no work available to me. I am also hoping there is truth to the rumors that MAM positions may even be changed to Qantas permanent in the future. You have done well, however, if you need the peace of mind of a permanent job, by accepting the Australian offer - you will be working with a great team many of which I know personally- . Best of luck.

MAM Work
As a MAM casual you virtually create your own roster. You nominate days you will be available throughout the month and days you will not be available. This however is not set in stone and can be modified as the month progresses. You have maximum flexibility and you are even free to change your mind even when crewing offer you work on an available day. If you do not want the duty you can decline. If you accept a duty and then refuse to work it, then, obviously it is frowned upon...and in answer to the other post I am not doing the current AWAS secondment. Hope this helps. Cheers!

The MAM news has been very quiet latley, just wondering if anyone has recently heard anything?.
I think there may be a few dissapointed applicants around that have just recieved confirmation that they have been unsuccessful after waiting all this time.
