The differences between BA and Virgin hosties is being overly exaggerated. BA hosties are certainly not "stuck up trolley dolleys".
My wife is now a BA hostie, after trying for 2 years and being offered jobs by both BA and Virgin.
The Virgin interview process of teamwork task, selecting the outgoing, organised and articulate candidates for final interview, simple maths test, then asking sevice industry type questions drawing on previous experience...is exactly the same as the BA interview. (Wonder where Virgin got the idea from?)
My point is that same interview = same hosties
Main difference is that BA require language skills - a good thing in my opinion.
The reason my wife chose BA was better pay, perks, and opportunities for advancement in training etc.
The grass is always greener, but BA is the better employer as far as hosties go (if they have a brain of course)
So...R998SEG consider yourself lucky you didn't get an interview.
