Virgin Atlantic Sydney Base Recruiting Soon

Virgin Atlantic has had a Sydney base for almost 2 years. It is only very small, with about 35 crew. Half of them were from Virgin Blue on an 18 month secondement, but they've gone back now. So there are not many left. They did try to get Aussies already working in London to transfer back, but not many took the offer. So basically, they need more crew.

Apparently they are thinking of recruiting directly in Australia, and are just looking at the legals, salary packages etc.

Crew operate SYD-HKG-SYD with about 16 hours in HKG, just enough to have a little shopping spree or a night out. Training is in London for 5 weeks.

Anyway, just to let you know, and will provide more info when I hear anything. Out of interest, would many of you be interested in something like this.
