QF longhaul recruitment ( non language speaking)
Like alot of others I know, I'm still waiting for QF L/H to start recruiting for non language speakers again. Just wondering if any one has heard anything regarding this latley? There were some rumours going around a while ago, that recruitment may take place soon.
Cant wait any longer

PS: Not sure if anyone has noticed but the QF website has had a makeover and it's quite slick!! QF web department have done a good job.

The final round 3 interviews were conducted yesterday (language speakers).
Applicants will be advised by the end of October for start end of November training and ever other month after.
There is almost 150 crew waiting to transfer from s/h to l/h in SYD and MEL. I don't think they will need to advertise for non language speakers as the still have a short list from last year with 100 applicants on it. If a gulf conflict starts again there wil be a massive down turn in flying again. Last time we gave 1000 crew leave without pay. But things change very quickly

More Info
Biscuit Chucker is quite right, Qantas have reinstated the 50 a Financial Year transfer agreement between Longhaul and Shorthaul. This agreement allows for both 50 Longhaul and 50 Shorthaul Flight Attendants to transfer to the opposite division.
For the financial year 2001-2002 there were only 17 people transferred from the Shorthaul Division to the Longhaul Division, mainly due to the events of September 11th and the Ansett collapse. Coincidentally the group that did transfer actually graduated from their conversion training on September 12th 2001, hardly the best day to change from Domestic to International Flying. In the opposite direction Qantas recieved FAAA approval to transfer well in excess of the 50 people from Longhaul to Shorthaul. This was to prevent forced job losses at Longhaul, and the desperate need for additional Flight Attendants in the Shorthaul Division.
This Financial year 2002-2003 there are already 32 people confirmed to transfer from Shorthaul to Longhaul, with the first group to start conversion training within the next 2 weeks. As yet have not heard of any crew transferring from Longhaul to Shorthaul, but no doubt there will be some soon. Have also heard that the final 18 Shorthaul to Longhaul transferees should be moved by March 2003.
So in effect these transfers should have little effect on the external recruitment prospects of people waiting to start with Qantas, as in the end they cancel each other out. The only thing that will probably effect future Qantas recruitment will be the possibility of military action in the Middle East. Who knows what will happen if this eventuates.
Hope this information is of interest to someone.
Thanks

OK, I realise that the picture of all these totally silent Qantas FAs can't be correct. 
But it's what comes to mind when I read about "non language speaking flight attendants".....................
Someone please tell me what this is about?

Dear Flapsforty
I have seen you pose this question sometime ago and I apologise for not posting a reply at the time
Down in Oz In airline lingo, language speakers refers to your ability to speak another language besides English.
Cheers!

No nickmelb, it isnt true....
The registration lines will open when the advertised date is published on the QF website.
There is talk of a completely new recruitment strategy. Wait for conformation to tell, but it sounds as though it may be different. to the 'register when advertised' sytem we have at them moment.
I have also heard we will be going into language schools and universitites to try and encourage those with foreign langauge skills to 'come fly with us' in the future!!
Still believe recruitment will happen again late October/ early November. But the info changes weekly !!

Hi everyone.
Just a few questions for those that have done the proficiency test.
* How many years had you learned the language before achieving an advanced level?
* In what type of environment/institution did you learn the language?
I am hoping to begin an Arts degree next year in French/Italian/Linguistics and was just wondering if this is likely to bring me anywhere near the standard required.
Thanks.
cloud nine: sorry for deviating (ever so slightly) off the topic.

HI all... Wing8 is correct!
QF is recruiting this weekend...
(NON LANGUAGE SPEAKERS)
Check all the major news papers this Saturday... Good luck to all....
Anyone from QF H.R reading this!!!
Please... if there is 1 person that deserves the position as L/H FA, it would definitely be CLOUD 9.
She is an amazing person with such passion and drive for her career in aviation.
Give her this chance, and I can assure you... you will not be disappointed!
For everyone else.... good luck!!
One last thing…
No matter what a lot of people might think or say about Qantas, they are truly an amazing Airline, not just through history, innovation, but Security as well. QF are envied by many other airlines throughout the world through there professional approach to security.
Not enough people give credit where credit is due...

HI everyone, Im a new user on this site, and am particularly interested in getting into QF L/H, can anyone tell me when the actual recruitment sessions will be held once applicants are invited for interview sessions? And will it be group seminars as has been in the past?
Taking into account the fact that this recruitment drive is non language, will a second language be at all considered if you have it?
Many thanks to anyone that can help.
