Libra89, I would think about editing your post and removing your name. It is against airline policy to post on these forums and applicants have been rejected because they have made themselves obviously known on PPrune. It would be terrible to not realise your dream because of a slip up!

Hey guys, just a quick question. I'm attending the VRD this week and was just looking through the list of documents needed. It says I need, "Valid Certificate for both SFA and CPR ".
I did take a SFA course almost 6 months ago and just got one certificate for Senior First Aid but we obviously did CPR as part of the course. I don't actually have a separate CPR certificate only a small thing on the side of the SFA cert that says "resuscitation principles recommended by the Australian Resuscitation Council"
Is it just me or is this the case?
And since its almost 6 months ago, should I take a refresher course??
Any help is great!!

Futureflier,
The CPR component of the SFA is valid for only one year - so if your SFA is less than 1 year old it will be valid for both. If your SFA was more than 12 months old you would need a 2nd certificate to show that your CPR is current.
Hope this helps

Anyone wanting inside tips for Virgin Blue VRD
Hey all,
I just found out that I suceeded in getting into the final round for Virgin Blue CC, i.e. into ref checking and medical tests. So i know it's not a job offer but definitely a plus.
I absolutely loved the well-organised and well-structured recruitment process that Virgin Blue puts candidates through - from the VRD alone I felt so inspired, enlightened and I learnt so much about the role and the company - some great insight.

I agree Libra.... I have heard nothing but possitive things about their recruitment process. Apparently right now they are looking at recruiting experienced 777 Cabin Crew and are looking at Air NZ and Emirates as a scource.
Many Air NZ crew I know are interested and have said the Virgin HR people put Air NZ to shame.

Leaves Qantas Cabin Crew Australia's recruitment methods for dead
However, I am in the middle of training with them at the moment, and I am very impressed with the training. There are several ex-Virgin Blue staff who think pretty highly of it too. I am also very excited about getting online with Qantas and I think with 600 newbies already hired, there will be a positive energy bought with us that will make a difference.
It's lucky that there are so many airlines recruiting to suit different personality's and lifestyles. I've always wanted to fly long haul, so jumped at the chance with Qantas after waiting five years since the last intake.
I wish everyone applying, waiting and training all the very best
Don't look at it as a competition between the airlines. We all suit one or another!

Brisbane Base
Hi All!, wondering if anyone is on the waitlist for Brisbane base? I went last year and am still waiting 
they say no news is good news but the wait is killing me! There is QCCA interview coming up but I'm pretty confident I want a Brisbane based position where my family is.

YAY, one of my refrences called and said that she got a call from VB after a refrence check. Getting a little bit closer... the wait is still killing me though. But I have to say, I have been updated every week or 2, and when they say something in the update, they mean it. Hope its not too much longer of a wait.

Joeyflyguy,
Are you aware if many NZ crew have applied for positions with V australia? Are they happy to relocate to Sydney? Just curious what the response from NZ Crew has been as they will be inteviewing in AKL.

Hi
I was just wondering if anyone could help me....
I'm at the stage where I've been told my refs are being checked and they said they will contact me this coming tuesday.
I want to go away for a week, but I'm worried that when they tell me to go for my medical i would have to do it quite soon...do you know the timeframe given to complete medicals from the time your told to do one?
Can anyone else give their advice on the matter?
