Impulse: new aircrafts for Sydney??
Hi all! I have read some posts on D&G forum (no, not Dolce Gabbana darling!) regarding 6 new aircrafts on the way...
If this is true, I reckon Impulse will start recruiting in Sydney shortly (and you bet I'll be there!).
Anyone from the inside feeling to comment??
Cheers,
Little Bee Mrs. FloatJockey

Yes, absolutely correct. Straight from the horses mouth ( the esteemed Mr Dixon), it was today announced at the CEO roadshow that we will be leasing 16 717 aircraft. this will generate more jobs though they will probably be on contract basis.

So is that 16 MORE or 16 IN TOTAL?
And will the contracts affect permenant full - time 717 FAs such as myself?
Oh, Nik one of the girls crewing your HTI-SYD flight flew with me today and said she bumped into you.... I had an overnight at HTI on 21/03 (due ATC strikes) and didn't see any young boys at all... Just yukky old ones and typical "Shazza and Dazza" honeymooning couples!

6 Aircraft to be leased into the fleet - bringing it to 14 total (with others optioned for leasing in the future, bringing the fleet total to a maximum of 24)...
and no, ALL FLIGHT ATTENDANTS will be hired as permanent full time. There is absolutely no provision anywhere in the company for them to hire contract or casual staff - EBA stipulates this.
Hobart base to open with approx 80 f/a's and pilots. Check out the Qantas website newsroom for all the details.
PS. Will be recruiting like mad - and they're not only looking at former flight attendants - they're considering a lot of 'new blood' too!

Hmmmm, Mr Seatback.......
Darling Sweetie. The EBA mentions "Casual FA" quite a few times. Not Contract though. Just thought I'd mention that.
Great to see you on the HBA Glamour Jet Service the other day when I was on my MCY Pretentious Express return.
Go Gwyn, Go Transglobal :-)

Re: Impulse: new aircrafts for Sydney??
As impulse currently have only 2 bases Sydney and Melbourne I'm sure they will be needing people in Sydney. I thought they were recruiting in Sydney last week? Impulse are now called Qanatas-link so maybe look up that website and send your resume in a.s.a.p. GOODLUCK!

They have enough problems with crewing permanent staff - don't see how they could manage casual crew JUST YET!
All the current training schools are for permanent full time - maybe down the line they'll start casual employment (once we've got ourselves the brand new EBA)...
They probably inserted the 'casual fa' term for use/implementation in the next EBA...who knows...I think all the newies will be safe though...don't quote me!

Interview confirmed!
Ok, got a call yesterday from Impulse. The interview is Thursday 18th April at 14:30 at the Hilton Sydney Airport. There will be between 30 and 40 people. Couldn't find out too much over the phone but it might be worth giving them a call if you're really keen... (ask for Mark, he is a nice guy!)
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP! (as usual)
This time I think I'll try the "low profile attitude": 1 question only, a bit shy, not too keen, cute little look, bank uniform, thick shoes and pony tail... we'll see... GOTTA LEARN TO KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT!! That is number one priority!
Anyone to comment, help, cut my throat???

Hehehe! Thanks mate! I'm getting ready!
Got a full treatment with Decleor products today, french manicure, bits and pieces pluked off... yeah, those sorts of things my husband can't stand. Ouch! (the expense, not the pain)
Then I got a new blazer, shirt and skirt, very smart... weeeeee!
Handbag and shoes to match... gosh, aviation is expensive!!!
I'm still glowing from the facial. Oooops! Have hairdresser on Thursday morning (french roll) and make-up at 12:30... I almost feel like a city girl after all that pampering...
This time, if it doesn't work... I give up! (Joking! Still have to try Qantas! You won't get rid of Mrs. FloatJockey that easily!!!
Well, except I get really really broke, which might happen quite soon I reckon...).
Still I need to study a bit of Impulse news. I did a search and checked the website but I'm not too happy with the amount of infos I found. Anyone could help me with more details?? I'd like to read about "politics" and news, since all I have is quite old...
FLIGHTBUNNY, if you didn't send your resume earlier, try calling recruitment (02-93175400) and see if they are still OK with you to send your CV now! If yes, yes and yes, then I like WA Cab.-Sauv. and my husband fancies fine whisky (High Lands please).
Good luck!

Woooohooooo! I can feel competition!
KSD333, I'll see you tomorrow! Say hello to the girl with a scarf attached to the handbag... possibly before the interview so that we can break the ice and walk in together!!
SMILE, thanks for the tip! Mr. Seatback II is preparing a bunch of questions for me and I am about to call him again to see if I'm good to go!!
Thanks all for your support / messages / phone calls and keep fingers and toes crossed (possibly from 14:30 to 16:00, yep!).

Look forward to meeting you and will look out for the scarf.
Think the colour "Plum" and you will find me.
I am SO nervous. I am planning to get there about 2.00 so i will look out for you.
GOOD LUCK!!!
