Will Qf Hire From Short List
 

Hi guys... Just wondering what the go is !! Has anybody got any info re new hire.. As the short list expires May 28 with mention of new hire mid year.. With all the 2 new rouets and extra flying you would think they would need people ! It seems strange for QF just to extend the waitlist for 2 months when they could have thrown everybody of if they felt they were never going to need new people in the next year or so!! Has anybody got any further goss,, news ,, Its on about 6 weeks away. If QF are going to recruit they would already know how many people they need and when !! post anything you might have heard around the rumer mill !!

I heard today that there will be a national recruitment drive in July ... but again, just a rumour - but from a fairly decent source.

My thoughts go out to you as it is such a effort presenting to the interviews, medicals and having to wait so long. Never give up keep applying and focus on next time.

I wonder how many have received the extention letters and how many received the expired letters and if the port has anything to do with the selection????

I am in Melbourne and I received an extention.
Maybe we could conduct a little survey on here to get some idea of where we are?

I believe that QF will need to taken on crew as more jets are heading our way and we do have things like the Commomwealth Games approaching. They are also adding some extra routes.

My fingers are certainly crossed.

Any body heard any galley gossip?

;)

I have three friends that were on the shortlist. 1 received an extension until 28 May via e-mail but received a letter in the mail today advising that his application will now not be taken further. The other 2 were not extended and received a letter in the mail on Friday.

I know of one person that was also not extended either, he received a letter on Friday from QF. I thought he said to me that he also received the e-mail extension to 28 May but not 100% sure.

Groan...

I hope I don't receive a letter in the mail then...... I got extended also (in Melbourne) and so far nothing else.... Hope it stays that way, apart from being offered a job that is!

So sorry
 

I am so sorry to hear what you people are going through regarding this on hold extension crap.
I cannot put myself in that situation ever again with QF and their subsidiaries.

What you people have been through is indeed a disgrace and very un Australian.
My heart truely goes out to you all.

Surely to God there is a higher plan in the scheme of things for those of you who have received a letter...something much better in store.
For those who are still on a string I know it is all consuming for you and has been for sometime, I really hope you get an answer soon to allow you to go forward with your lives.

thinking of you...Mr Mark

Mr Mark,
Thank you for your warmth and feeling for us waitlisters. I guess when I asked the question earlier in this post if other had been expired I didn't believe I would be reading the reponses that I just have.

I am amazed that the company I so want to work for is leading us on. I seems that Sydney waitlisters are getting the expiry letters but it suprizes me that they have also received the extention letters.
What kind of games are they playing with us?

I so badly want to work and dedicate myself to Qantas and this kind of thing is taking the polish off.:confused:

Has anyone from Melbourne received an extension? I wonder how many there are of us? Has anyone received an expiry?
I am so curious to what our fate is and whats going on.
Keep posting!

:uhoh:

From what I've been able to work out it seems those who have been extended more than 3 times have been knocked out - although this is only from anecdotal evidence....

Most Melburnians have only been extended twice as we went through one of the last recruitment drives. Our first 6 months started as a lot of others were finishing their first.....

That seems to be the only pattern we can find - again, its subjective and only a few people really know I guess.....

As to whether we'll be employed or not - well we'll know in around 6 weeks or so....

I'm in MEL, have been extended three times, commenced interview process Nov 02.

I'll be changing my username to BitterandTwisted if I get a "your application has expired" email anytime.

Let's hope that QF are not going back on their word after sending out extensions until the 28th May????

Have contacted a few ppl who are on the shortlist (and all of us have received e-mail extensions) from all 3 ports, and none of us have received the dreaded letters...thank God!! SO sorry to those that this has happened to - how awful.

Here's hoping we all get thru yet ANOTHER interview in 6-8 weeks time and end up in ground schools shortly after that!! (Wishful thinking, I know, but it's all we've got after 14 months!!)

Keep the info coming guys.......

OZ xox

I did my initial interviews with QF back in May 02 for A MAM casual position based in Brisbane, like everyone else I recieved an extension until 31 Mar.. but have not yet heard anything else.... are there any other MAM people out there that have either got a further extension or a thanks but no thanks letter????:confused:

Shonky outfit
 

1 received an extension until 28 May via e-mail but received a letter in the mail today advising that his application will now not be taken further.


Oh my gaaawwwd!!!!!!

I'm really surprised to hear that people have been getting knocked back from the last round of extensions! Wonder what criteria they're using to cull us applicants?

What I would REALLY like to know, apart from the obvious 'what the interview will be like?' question, is just how many shortlisters remain? Given that some went to MAM Short Haul over the last 6-12 months, and others are sadly no longer with us...just how many remain?

All other news most welcome!

I checked my post box today, and have yet to recieve any notification that my short list application has ceased. I know 5 others also on the short list, and we are all still on hold.

Easternboy.....your friends that are on the short list, are they EAA FA's?

Recieved my thanks but no thanks letter today.... basically saying that i have been on hold for 18 months and my application had now expired... back to square one

My theory is that the applicants that applied for MAM are now being deleted from the short list, due to the fact that there will be no external recruitment into shorthaul for quiet some time ( if ever). If applicants are to be used from the recruitment drive that has just been extended untill May 28th, its all pointing towards longhaul. Which will be great for some, but no so good for others.

Cloud Nine, I like your theory. I am on the Melbourne list for Qantas recruitment not MAM. I marked on the application I was happy with longhaul flying. I was talking to a techie friend today and he was saying a few more big aircraft, I think 747 were on there way, as well as some 737. Maybe a qantas employee could confirm that. It so yes long haul will need crew. If they don't recruit off shore.
Keep posting and we will see some pattern I am sure.

Who knows what theory they're using - so long as we all stay on the waitlist, I'm happy...pending a permanent, full time position in the division of our choice!! LOL!

I do know QF have been shopping around for some extra aircraft (only a rumour)...but so far, nothing concrete as to their plans. The only thing in our favour is the increase in Intl flying to Shanghai and Mumbai later this year...as for Short Haul, with the new Regional Flying agreement (well...the signed off one) - who knows...

Fingers crossed we all get what we want...cause lord knows we've waited long enough for it!

Me same as Airbust
 

Didn't apply for or through MAM. I'm in Melbourne too and marked that I preferred Long Haul.

I think I've been on the shortlist for a little over 12 months....

Its an absolute bummer for those who have been taken off the shortlist.
