my apologies...the 36 weeks I posted earlier was a typo...they fly up to around 4 - 5 months - standard with most airlines.
As for your friend flight bunny - recruiters never tell candidates the reasons why they are unsuccessful so I dont understand what your friend is talking about there. Perhaps she was exceptional in being the first person I have ever heard of airline wise to be granted a reason.
Virgin has a strict policy that they will not tell you why you were unsuccessful. That is standard with most airlines if not all.
Maybe she felt that was the reason...anyways..sorry your friend wasnt successful...once again...some of the ground staff do have young children so I dont understand that comment.
Sorry...no harm intended - just getting a little peeved at all these ridiculous comments being made towards virgin blue.
Just to add..most ground staff sign on also around 5am.
