I went to the VRD Oct 29 in Melbourne, and the people who got through the day are yet to get their medical letter etc, still in the reference stage.
Haven't heard of anyone getting a GS as yet

I've heard of one person having an VRD back in April 08, who was offered GS in January.
I, myself, was at an VRD in December 08 and was told to expect ground school in March.
Sounds like there is some movement going on. These things always seem to go in cylcles.

Always hiring especially MEL and now SYD. The turnover in these two ports will always be there. With the majority of the crew female and between 25-35 many are getting pregnant and off to have babies never to be seen again. Some leave for greener pastures, some get the boot and some can't fly due to medical reasons. The consensus is that there is probably 15-20 resignations a month which means on average a gs a month in MEL.
SYD is still growing but once the novelty of day trips wears off the turnover will be much the same as MEL.
Keeps the trainers busy and gives the wannabes a chance as well.

Virgin Blue Recruitment Freeze
Today I received this email;
As you are probably aware, the current economic situation is having an affect on the job market here in Australia and has consequently impacted employment opportunities within the Virgin Blue Group. We have implemented a recruitment freeze throughout the organisation and have decided for this reason to close the Expression of Interest database for Cabin Crew opportunities.
What does this mean to you? We will keep your contact details and once recruitment activities are projected we will be in contact with you to advise that we are accepting applications for the role of Cabin Crew.
Looks like everyone is being affected

Virgin Blue Flight Attendant Recruitment
Hey people,
I've been hearing reports VirginBlue may start a small scale recruitment drive for one or two ground schools based in sydney or melbourne towards the end of this year (2009).
I work in the middle east & am keen to come home. I hope they still continue to hire crew on their current EBA as I'm aware they are in negotiations with the company & FAAA now.
Anyone have any insight?
xoxo

V australia Interviews
Ok guys, so get this V aust is hiring. im currently working for an airline in the uk and have been here for 3 years and will most likely be moving my current flight forward (arrive 25/12) to make the interview which no doubt will be before this, so im taking a massive risk JUST for the interview. can anyone tell me how the interview day goes. i need the complete low-down ie questions, what kind of tests, what kind of senarios, of the day to help me prepare as much as i can for it!
i have had rejected take offs, medical emergencies, tech issues resulting in unschedualed night stops and everything else thrown at me while being with this company so i know i can use that as examples. but i just need to be completly prepared for it. i know the general stuff, but if its possible, does anyone have the specifics.
another thing ill need to renew is my 1st aid cert, so its all going to be happening for me in the span of a month!!!
HELP!!!!

VB Sydney Assessment Day
Hi All!
Could anyone shed some light on what to expect for the VB Sydney Assessment day?
Also....is there anyone currently working for VB based out of Sydney that could answer the following:
i) Most common routes to expect dept Syd?
ii) How many overnights a month on average would you expect?
iii) Are you only based on the E-jet or on other aircraft as well?
iv) From what I understand from the phone interview your salary after training consists only of:
base salary (incl grooming allowance) + overnight allowance + super....
is this correct or do you get a other DTA type allowances as well?
v) Average fortnightly/monthly pay?
vi) Do you get to do any international routes i.e Bali, NZ etc.
Your help is greatly appreciated!
Regards,
SW
