The only reason unions make deals with companies these days is that, come July this year, Howard will have control over both houses of Government.

An inferior EBA is better than an inferior AWA anyday.

Guys.....

The day of recknong has finally come... and I was successful!!

I have been offered a position with MAM flying out of Sydney, so Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for your advice and wish you all well in your endevours...

Perhaps we will cross paths one day.

Till then, Happy Landings Y'all!!

:ok:

AnyGivenSunday99!!!!!!

Congratulations!!!! Well done!!

I am glad you made it in! You must be over the moon. When do you start training? I start on MONDAY 8:30am. Can't Wait!!

Were you given the 18th April start date? or is there more classes after that?

Rollz :ok:

AnyGivenSunday99 I offer my most fantastical congrats! Must feel like a million bucks today! Well Done! :)

Rollz, your time has come. Dont get wasted Sunday (OK, do, but sober up for day 1 :E )

Good luck to everyone else! And all those who are about to start training!!

JB

Rollz... looks like we are going to be in the smae grroup. I am starting on the 18th as well! They are flying me down early in the morning, so I think day one is going to be exceptionally tiring. I have already found a place to live, albeit a bit far out of town, so it's all good.

Looking forward to catching up mate!

Also - big thanks to JBFlyer. It was a very very big night after I found out!!

AnyGivenSunday99!

I actually start on the 11th...which is this Monday...but I'll probably bump into you sometime during the 5 weeks we are there. Take care.

Rollz :ok:

are they not supplying your accommodation while you're in training? you have to find your own?

Oz

:eek:

I remember last year they provided accomodation to the trainees from brisbane. I wonder why they arent doing it this time???

Rollz :hmm:

My interpretation is that AnyGivenSunday99 was offered (an accepted) a Sydney Based position, hence the move.

JB

Yeah, it is a Sydney based MAM position, and they told me from the outset that althought they would fly me down, I would have to look after my own accom even through training. I am not too fazed though, as I have lots of friend who are happy for me to sponge off them for a while!!

Does anyone have any idea what I should expect from the training? I am sure I will have to do a bit of swimming and stuff, but have no idea what to expect.....

they won't even supply accommodation, that's rediculous!!!!! anygivensunday, pm me for info on training if you want.

Mattw, the only good thing I heard from your post was that you are over in short haul, your posts infuriated me, people like you erode our conditions.
QANTAS is a successful business, yes I agree, but is people like myself that have made it that way, they had been employing people with views and opinions, people like you are DRONES.
