Cactus,
Initially wanted to find out wether anyone had actually tried with qualifications like me. But since you mention the conditions of once upon being hired by virgin Australia, here I go.
Are you happy to work for a low rate of pay? Can't be worse than doing 60 hours per week for 41k/annum "VA IS OFFERING 50k for The cadets during their traineeship"
Are you happy to be part of the new 'lowering of the bar' method of employement? working in a 'modern kitchen' where everything from stoves to oven isn't working once every week.
The 30 yo grob that I flew in my flight school was more reliable than my oven.
Are you happy to tickle HR's ears with stories about fun, frivolity and flair while singing a song and building a house of cards at your group interview? I do These things every hour at work, not just to the employers but also to the customers too.
Are you happy to remain in a low paying gig where promotion in flight ops is only gaurenteed to 'yes men' and those with strong gums? Yet again, this is an understatement.
So yeah, from what I am experiencing the conditions for working as a cadet in virgin is paradise. It may sound unfair or just plain ridiculous to majority of you.
