Hi there,
I'm currently on the virgin wait list (was at the virgin recruitment day in June) was asked to go through for June 27th ground school but had a holiday booked overseas and was told to wait for next intake. I had a few questions and wasn't sure if anybody could help at all...
Does anyone know when the next ground school in melb is?
Also how do the overnights work? Can you choose how many you can do in a week through the bidding system?
If anyone can help that would be great
Thanks guys,

Dates for ground schools keep changing, hopefully should be soon though.
You can bid for layovers and trip lengths when requesting your roster. But as always nothing can be guaranteed. One month you may get no overnights and the next month you will have 12!

reference checks
Can anyone tell me how long they had to wait from receiving your successful through to reference checks email, to them actually being called?
This Friday will be 2 weeks. I know it can take some time. I am just wondering.

Thanks BrisbaneVA,
I kinda thought their might be a long waiting time considering they told us they were recruiting for a talent pool, so no need to hurry. But I didn't think it would be that long!
Good Luck with your reference checks! Did they tell you on the phone about the dates for Brisbane's next ground school?

so basically virgin never goes into a recruitment with a set number of people they going to hire. So they do the talent pool. They pick the amount they need and then put the rest on hold, they can only put you on hold though for 8 months. so its basically lucky pick.

Hi everyone
Hi everyone,
Congrats on those who have been successful and good luck to those who are waiting.
Can I just ask - are these training dates, etc, for international or domestic VA?
Was invited to the international cabin crew recruitment day in August but was unable to make it, so Im just (trying to be patient) wondering when the next recruitment day might be, if at all in 2011!

To those that are waiting for reference checks, and to aussie2011 - I am from the early July SYD international AD. It's now been over 7 weeks since they said they'd do reference checks within a few weeks and nothing has happened. Just have to be really patient I guess. Good luck!
