Maybe I'm just cynical, but it would appear to have been nothing more than a great fishing exercise. Send out invitations to apply to pretty much everyone, and simply take the ones that seem to suit best. First come first served huh? How does that work for the poor working stiff in central Australia who can only get to the computer a couple of times a week. Seems it might be better to be unemployed and sitting on the net!!

Thanks Monk, now i know for sure i'm way down the food chain. What would be unfair is that applicants like you get in soon and have to pay for your endorsement, and applicants like me get a chance down the track and maybe avoid the endorsement cost.

Heard from a mate that that the HR dept are ringing those who have been "invited", but ticked the no box. Seems that they no longer meet the min requirement and are being asked, "what do you want to do?"

Definitely sounds like a fishing expedition. "Oh You've got the interview but...."

Time will tell.

It was command multi, Training Wheels, as co-pilot time in oz is just that...co-pilot time and they're after Multi command.
My way of thinking, there is no substitute for this hands on command time on twins, as you will learn alot and very quickly when your signature is signing everything ... but things are changing quickly...

Maybe it’s a move by Virgin to absorb some of the available pilot that otherwise might have been headhunted by Tiger and Qantas (whenever it decides to hire).

Hell all of this conjecture about the usual theories but could this burst of interviewing be because they are about to take 20+ guys a month for a long time? So every month will be a big month for interviews for a year or so. I love conspiracy theories, its where paranoia and low IQ meet...
