Qantas - Uk
 

Hi all

Have been invited to assessment day :) Can anyone advise me.......long hair up or down or doesn't matter?

Good luck to everyone attending interviews!! xx

It doesn't matter, but neat and tidy is the order of the day. One of the standards for girls is hair no longer than 30cm if in a pony tail. Useful to try and keep to our standards even during the interview process.

thankyou! :)

I got offered the job!! Start in January hopefully! Anyone else??

Well done mr! Glad you're through and I'll see you online shortly no doubt :)

But, you have to change your nickname now.... :)

well done, you must be thrilled?
So you think it could be a Jan start-is that becouse of your current work comitments or is that just the next available start date?

Thanks! Yes very excited and happy about it! Really looking forward to it! Yes the next available course is unofficially in january, not ideal but oh well, i have the job lol.

Leave BA Longhaul for Qantas UK??
 

Hi Guys,

Just wondering if any experience QF UK cabin crew could advise...would you leave BA Longhaul LHR for Qantas UK?? Been at BA for 3 years, very lucky in that I made it to Longhaul LHR in under 2 years, am first class trained. Have flown a total of 15 years...In a tread I read about the flexibility you have with your rosters/ability to trade, fly trips back to back, etc...I was also wondering what the promotion process is like/waiting time,etc. At BA as things stand I can't see being eligible for promotion before 7-10 years (you have to fall within a seniority range to be invited to apply for Purser). Any info anyone could pass along would be most appreciated.

Many Thanks!:)

^ My best friend works long haul for BA (me? I'm VS all the way...) and she also said something similar about having to be around years to get purser as it's done on seniority but one of her fellow crew said they'll have to change that now as you can't discriminate on seniority ((some lardy-da EU law!))

Not about Qantas i know but it might help your decision if you know you might be able to become purser sooner!

where is the rest of the thread regarding trading etc? I'm on the fence about whether on not to try and switch from my current as well:confused:

Are you MAD?? :ugh:

Can you imagine doing SIN BKK or HKG (constantly) for the 'eurogatwick-esque' division of QF with no box payment??

My mate was crew with QF-UK up until about a year ago. Maybe someone from QF can PM Muizemburg and let him/her know what the allowences are for a SIN or HKG. Its not my place to display such information.

keeperboy,

Thank you for your candid response! Will take your feedback onboard...:ok:

Hi,
So did anyone have an assesment day on Tuesday?
If so how did you get on?

Invited to an assessment day - hoorah!

What is it like and what preparation has to be put in?

Are you mad !!
 

Lol ..That's another are you mad X 2 :)
Stick it at BA , You show off . BA Longhaul to QF , What a tease !!

LOL - I'm with QF in the UK and was flying LH out of Australia before that (up on transfer from Aus).

To be honest Muizenberg it depends on what you're looking for. Yes, you're probably more likely to be promoted quickly within Qantas than BA. To give you some idea, there are 2 people who started flying with Qantas when the base first opened and have been promoted to CSM (like your CSD) in less than 2 years. However, you are going to fly less routes and you are going to earn less money.

But if you're looking for a smaller base and probably more flexibility with rostering then again you'll probably get more of that with Qantas.

BA, however, is often seen as the pinnacle of LH flying and you guys do seem to have very good conditions, so I can definately see the appeal. :E

Qantas UK Visa
 

Hi people.

Can anyone tell me what QF UK's rules are on Visa's?

If i enter the UK on a 2 year visa from Australia will they employ me?

Any info would help.

Cheers

what is the take home pay per month on average?? how long are your trips away?

I wasn't aware that QFUK actually had Pursers/CSD (CSMs)???

I thought that all the main crew on the Asia-UK Sectors were UK based but that the senior crew remained Australian?!

If I'm wrong, that's very interesting.
