Virgin Blue hiring

[beaver_rotate]

Hey ALLOYTUBEJOCKEY

Is this for Pac Blue FO (or NZ whatever it's now called) or VA domestic FO (operation in Australia)? Cheers for any info

[Alloytubejockey]

It's for what was Pac Blue, so Virgin Aus NZ.

[Flyboi737]

Hey,

Kinda late I know! New in command on the 737s looking for new job prospects, any developments on VB? Do they hire direct entry captains? Any salary info yet?

Ay input most appreciated, looking for some new scenery!

Cheers!

[Hugh Jarse]

Nope. No direct entry captains. They have an abundance of upgradeable FO's.

Best try somewhere else

How do the interviews work with respect to fleets etc? For example, do they have a round of interviews just for Pac Bro, another for 777 SO's, another for AU domestic etc, or is it just all in one then onto a hold file if you pass? Cheers

[SHVC]

They just interview for individual jobs, such as round of Pac Blue which has been going on for the last 3 months next they will interview for more 777 RFO then for Virgin Domestic.

[atlas12]

Thanks shvc, I have an interview coming up but I wasn't entirely sure for what fleet. I'm okay with all those positions anyway. Cheers

[SHVC]

What do you mean you dont know what fleet? it would of said for Virgin NZ or Virgin Australia. What is it for out of curiosity?

[atlas12]

It just says Virgin Australia, nothing specific. Just not sure if for domestic or cruise f/o that's all

Email went out today about March interviews for the hold pool.

As it is for the hold file does does anybody know when positions are anticipated to be available. 3, 6 or 12 months?

SHVC are you saying the interviews are likely for the 777?

Thank you in advance,

Pilot recruitment numbers at VA are confused at the moment because of a lack of additional aircraft availability.They wanted to keep several B737's coming off lease but these aircraft have already been precommitted by the leasing company who work 2 years in advance.So pilot numbers will be determined by aircraft availability that meet the VA specifications.That may be the reason why they are creating another hold file.The jobs are coming,they just don't know when.They are receiving new aircraft off the production line but the net increase is small.

[atlas12]

NBN, I am not sure either but I know a few guys who have been offered interviews on this round as well, and a few seem over qualified for the 777. I guess you never know, though

[nothing but net]

Thanks guys, guess we will have to suck it and see..

Thankyou in advance.

So anyone with an interview have any more info. Are the interviews that are about to take place for Virgin Australia Domestic or VA CRFO or am i way off the mark and there for the NZ arm of Virgin Australia???

Heard the hold file from last year has almost been depleted. Was a 737 course in Dec and a Ejet course before that in Sept. Anyone else know of any others??

Cheers

[Inbound On Descent]

Hold file not depleted, don't know about almost...

The September E-Jet course was populated from a hold file created in Feb last year. Dec 737 course was filled with internal candidates from E-Jet and 777.

Waiting waiting.....
