Thumbs up VK = opportunity
Hi guys,

I'm invited to the December interviews in London too, convenient as I live in London although I would have travelled from afar to interview...

I hear that its all about the Ace Pilot Interview book (£15 amazon.com) and being yourself.

Good luck - I'm doing some studying as we speak...

Always hustling,
737hustler

Is Virgin Nigeria only open to UK folks? I'm over in the US and it sounds like something I'd be interested in.

VK has a very multicultural workforce. All are welcomed there.
Hotmj43 has got it to the T on the interviews.

Virgin Nigeria Advertise themselves as an International Airline operating from the Heart of AFRICA.The assumption is that having an international status,
the workforce is Multinational.... and so it is,within the confines of the Nigerian immigration Quota, allocated to Vk,for Non Nigerians. So you are most welcome Sir.

Thanks a lot, this is something I want to follow. If anyone knows specifics related to the interview process, I'd be interested to hear via PM.

Same here. I've got a VK interview coming up in December.

Thanks for the info above. I'm already well into the Ace book.
If anyone's got other specifics a PM would be much appreciated.

Anyone else scheduled for the 5th?

Good luck folks,note of caution the recruitment department, is most bureaucratic and incompetent!
Couple of the pilots who work there have warned me that it could take months, going through all the stages to get hired, even those who came type rated did not fare better!
Yet am told they are real short of crew! what a mismatch! its ARIK for me

Hey SEPER, maybe its a new CRM technique, u know, knock out the hurryupitis.
Things are shaping up now though.

FEDENO check a couple of threads back, 18left says it all.

very interesting
Does anybody know what the interview dates are??

What aircraft are they hiring for??

I have currently 310 hours (over 250 are PIC) and growing (currently flight instructing), as well as 22 ME, but still need to do Multi-Commercial, all ratings are FAA.

What are the chances of being invited for an interview??

What aircraft would they probably put me on, if I was to be hired??

Any insight, ideas, thoughts would be great regarding my questions.

How long is this offer going to be up for?? Any ideas??

Thank you very much!!!!

Yes I too have an interview in December. Don't suppose an of you know what these tech questions are in the tech quiz. People say the Ace book, but you know it isn't exactly the smallest book, and there are LOADS of questions in it. Would you have any idea as to what will be asked?

If anyone could pm me about the personal side of questions too then that would be much appreciated as well.

Cheers,
Airmiles
