Unfortunately the box of shapes ( chicken and BQQ) are true and during lunch we get a little packet of pretzels and a pre wrapped slice of Christmas cake.

Well, all I can say is I don't have to buy any snack food for Christmas. I will just take my crew meal home :p

Yes, not the best crew meal option. Not sure who was thinking that this would be a healthier alternative.

All crew please submit the appropriate paperwork to complain about the quality and nutrition of these crew meals :8

It looks as though flyperth has deleted all his posts,maybe the morning tea was too expensive or the bikkies were not up to scratch and he has taken a tuk tuk home.Either that or the personality test didn't work out!1

I would like to see the visitors in QCC and other airline offices take a Hogan profile,the results would be worth printing for sure.

Let's see any score under 10 is called a charisma bypass...
visitor number one...6

visitor number two...4

I told Flyperth to be careful of the Iced Vo Vo's ..the company notices these things..

A quick question for those morning tea loving f/a's with J*.Do you guys have clause 11's with your company?

If so maybe flyperth got a clause 11 for eating too many Iced Vo Vo's

My suggestion flyperth is to be yourself in the interview and eat all the Iced Vo Vo's and Tim Tams you can get your hands on.

Don't forget to tell them how good the bikkies are as well..Good Luck..Break a leg

I know this post was a while ago, but have just read it. Your friend is lying.

I have been with JQ for nearly 5 years, previously Qantaslink. I have been on the part time list for 2 years. I was offered a position in early November and am starting part time in Feb.

By they way when we were operating as Qantaslink/Impulse we had part time too :=

have you ever heard of an airline...where staff are killing themselves to go part time as opposed to a payrise/progression/wanting to go to international etc?

Part time is like the millionaires club... we all look at the chosen few and wish it was us.

hillarious.

Hi Just been reading on the Qantas thread talk of a JQ reality TV show.

This is what I know based on what I saw and what other crew told me.

To paint the picture a bit...... already existing domestic CC had to apply externally for JQ international. Eg; apply on JQ website, go through seminar, morning tea etc.

At the JQ international recruitment, think it was from about August a TV crew started filming the recruitment process.

The TV crew would follow applicants during different stages of the seminar process.

During the one on one interviews the TV crew filmed applicants answering their scenario questions. You are given the option to decline the TV crew from filming you. However, this wasn't really promoted.

During my morning tea the film crew were there (they weren't there during my seminar in July). I must admit I was a bit shocked but at the same time found the whole thing hilarious.

Myself and another existing domestic CC were being filmed while talking to a senior JQ management personnel. Honestly,I was just thinking I hope this doesn't make it on TV because I feel really stupid.
I am not sure who this TV show will appeal to. I felt it was a little tacky. Rumor has it that a select few applications were closely followed throughout the whole process and the TV crew filmed training school and first flights etc. I mean really, what is this going to achieve??? The flight attendants image to the general public isn't exactly glowing and especially if you work for a LCC.

I wonder if JQ HR will insist on the AWA conditions to be edited. The daily flying conditions eg; rosters and staff incentives were talked about during the morning tea.

Maybe this is the new Big Brother? Stay tuned!! :ooh:

By the way I was offered a international position, but declined.

FlyPerth,

What base are you appyling for?

Out of interest who interviewed you. Yes, MrSeatback2 is a wealth of knowledge ;)

My my, such compliments! :O

:D FlyPerth, i'm crossing my fingers for you :D

hehe MrSeatback2 you are SO HOT RIGHT NOW!

(*mwah* happy birthday! ;)

Yeah. Happy Birthday, you little book mark. :rolleyes: :O

Oh Honey, you deserve it! Hope you had a great birthday ;)

Bid Rejected
 

This morning from the SMH

Qantas Airways has rejected an $11 billion takeover bid from a consortium including Australia's Macquarie Bank.
Qantas said it had received a non-binding conditional proposal to acquire 100 per cent of the company from a consortium including Allco Equity Partners, Allco Finance Group, Macquarie Bank, Canadian buy-out group Onex and US private equity firm Texas Pacific Group.
"The proposed offer price is $5.50 per share and incorporates a number of complex conditions, the requirement for unanimous support by Qantas directors and a break fee," the airline said in a statement.
The off-market bid also has a 90 per cent minimum acceptance condition.
"The non-executive directors consider that the terms of the proposal are not acceptable," Qantas said.

What does everyone think? What next? :hmm:

*sigh* thank god.. until the next big event.. which i am sure wont be far off.

Jetstar Asia
 

Hi just wondering if someone could enlighten me...... Are we at QF able to use Jetstar Asia for staff travel? I have rang QF staff travel who said 'yes' so I rang Jetstar. The first person couldn't book me because of a 'schedule change' and said to ring back in a few days. The next time the person said they couldn't book me, but didn't know why????? I asked about Jetstar Asia flights on other days and they couldn't book any??? They said there were seats available on the flight but they couldn't book me a seat. I am confused. I hope someone can help me. Trying to get home for xmas.....:ugh:

Bid meant to go ahead today
 

Have heard the QF bid is expected to go ahead today.

Board meeting at 11am!!!

Merry Christmas QF management!

Does any JQ crew not have an opinion on this??

This potentially effects our end of the business..... :ugh:

Just saw on QF thread...... Sold for $5.60
