Hi all,

I am a new MS, have just done my first job today (got a phone call at 4pm and did the job at 4.30, so not much time for nerves!) I am doing my report, but am unsure about how much detail/description they need. Am going on holiday tomorrow so it has all been a bit rushed, but don't want to fluff the report.

I think it depends on which MS company the report is for. Most, I think, would appreciate as much detail as possible, but I've had problems with GR reports because they impose a word limit, so I have to keep editing my replies down!

Which MS company is it?

Hi Scaredy Cat,

It's RE, like I said it was all a bit quick today, but didn't want to turn it down as she sounded a bit desperate!

Really sorry then, I can't help as I haven't done any jobs for them. Hopefully someone else will be able to help. Sorry.

Hi Teedy - you are not alone! The glitch is ( I think)that we should not be seeing those jobs, as they are reserving them for those people with an average score of 12.( that is what they have said on the phone.) As this is also the maximum score, if you have ever changed a date and lost 2 points you won't be able to apply. If you look back down the thread you will see the sad news dawning on those of us with inadequate scores...

I have spotted the spanish jobs for RE too. Problem is they say it is for two people and that might not be possible on the days they want covered. Should I apply anyway?

Remember that if you end up cancelling because you can't get anyone,you will lose points and may not see another spanish job again...

Hello,



Madcap poster Hollypear is currently away, but she is a card and a half, RE (famous m shopping company) are named "Ridiculous eyeballs" by her, Gap becomes "Gyp".

You will get used to it all, and welcome

Aha I knew it. Someone would take the opperchancity to talk about me while I was in Spain. 1st week back and I have a rotten cold so can't sleep for sniffling and sneezing so thought I'd check out what I missed on the forum.

And while I am gone your all having babies left right and centre. So congrats LTD and Ellie.

And welcome aboard the new cabin crew poster. Now we can pester you with questions. Like what is all that put your lifejacket stuff about. Especially on a flight say from Glasgow to London where the flight isn't even above water.

Anyone every heard in their puff a transatlantic flight either where folk survived falling 35,000 feet into the Atlantic with the little yellow "Mae Wests" on blowing the whistle to attract attention. So there you are floating on 50 foot waves and along come the big sharks. " Oh look canapes...people on toast ....yum yum"

It is the same with the brace position, it is just an attempt to save your teeth so you can be identified by dental records!

As someone once famously said if the black box flight recorders survive the crash why don't they build the planes out of the same material?

You will get a reminder if you haven't filed the job within 8 hours, but quite often I've done one on my way to work, or something and not uploaded the info til I get home , maybe 10 hours later and always been paid. I think pretty much if you're entering it on the same day you should be ok, but then others have had bad experiences with Gap. Having said that, not heard of anyone not being paid because of being a few hours late.

It happened to me a few times with Gap, this was back when I had no computer and had to trek to an internet cafe. Gap is the worst company ever and I lost out on a lot of money on jobs they refused to pay me for.
