Virgin Australia recruitment
Info, or speculation? You'll get a lot of one and almost none of the other. JB is basically a caretaker CEO right now so I would take any word on the street about fleet upgrades with a big grain of salt.
JB has indicated that he one announcement left, on the same scale as the BNE-ASP and HBA-PER route plans so don't expect anything as big as a widebody order. Max10 will replace 332 on transcon.

I did it in the fixed base sim in Altheon or whatever it used to be called. All the power settings and speeds they sent me and I memorized were wrong..they said as much in the briefing..it was a departure and then handling and a return for the hold and the ILS at YMML. No failures except for the flight director and autopilot..buy an hours practice..it’s worth it

Was this for the Fokker 100?
Anyone know what to expect in the sim and interview for the F100.
I'm sure that this question has been asked before, but what are the times to command and moving on to the 737 from the F100 fleet, also how long before you can expect to move from Perth.??

G’day all
havent been able to find out much information about this - no one seems to know! Any help would be much appreciated.
Say I joined VA on the 777, then wanted to go to Tiger to speed up my time to narrowbody and shorten my time longhaul - does anyone know of the process involved - whether it is as easy as filling out a form, or whether there is a full application process to transfer?
Thanks in advance

Yup, once you've done your time, which AFAIK is 3 years in position, you can bid to VA or TT or VARA or VAINZ window seat. If you've kept your nose reasonably clean and (here's the kicker) they're not desperately short on your existing fleet you're in.

Also yes... just like at any airline - and that is truly a big kicker, as I don’t know many that have had the correct crew compliments for some time!

During the interview they told me 11 years to command on the 737. Can't help with the rest though.
