Apparently some of the Sydney based applicants got the same email but it didn't mention 2018. I wonder if that's good news or bad?

Domestic international
Awesome! Thanks, so glad I found this thread. I'm also pretty confused about what I have actually applied for, lol. The original link I followed was for Sydney base, FY17 and international/domestic. So being clueless originally I thought that might mean they train you for both and you get a mix. Now I've heard that you're actually trained for a specific aircraft though so you would be domestic OR international? Anyone have any ideas?
When I applied I assumed I’d be doing all ports but unfortunately not, unless you get called out as relief crew. I’ve done 3 NZ flights.
Good luck everyone. Don’t give up. This job is amazing. I absolutely love it. Hope to see you in the skies soon. 👩🏼*✈️✈️

I’ve been flying for just over 6 month. And am endorsed on the 737 only. You get trained/endorsed on a particular aircraft. Domestic (VAA) are the 737 they can also short haul international flights eg DPS, POM etc (after 6 month probation). 777 (VAI) do the LA flights, Airbus do Hong Kong. So It all depends on your base too. ie.Hong Kong is only from Melbourne at the moment. There is also VANZ for the New Zealand crew. All depends what part of Virgin you are being employed by.

Thank you so much for that, so helpful! Do you know if you can elect which you are endorsed in?

Endorsements
Endorsements are determined by the company and their needs. Unfortunately you can’t pick. The majority of flying is done on the 737-800 unless you’re international (LA or Hong Kong) then it’s either the 777 or airbus. Some bases have embraer and atr.

Uniforms
You get fitted as part of the recruitment process. Uniforms are collected prior to the last week of ground school. And then you wear them for service week. 💄💃🏼

I'm waiting for Sydney too. When I called before in early august they said the meeting to discuss new ground schools would be in October. They were really nice about it but I'm too scared to call back in case they think I am annoying haha. I really would like to know though as I have to relocate and that takes time. I have a feeling it might not be until next year.

Reference checks
Hi
How is everyone progressing. It seems like I have been on reference checks for a while but I know my references have completed them. I'm based in Perth. Is anybody else still waiting?
