Hi ksd333,
I agree with you that Virgin recruiting seems a bit different!
I too was accepted to another airline as a FA, have 4+ years customer service experience and a CPL yet didn't make it past round 1 of Virgins Ground Crew interviews.
Maybe it is because I don't look like a male model???
Best of luck to you, I hope you find a position with someone who will value you for the person you are!
Cheers
