Just a heads up guys - Virgin Australia have now changed the Perth domestic cabin crew status from 'accepting interest' to 'recruiting now.' Applications close 19 October. Good luck!

Hi Astrogirl, you mentioned you were at the July assessment day. Was this the same one I was at for V Australia international at start of July? If so, have your references been called yet?

My refs were checked last week for Sydney Domestic. Im on standby for the 7th Nov Ground School, otherwise I will go into a Ground School early 2012.
Thanks.

Although it says 'accepting interest' for Sydney, if you click into the page it says:
'If your application is successful you will be invited to attend an Assessment Day on 15th or 16th Novemeber 2011.'

Thanks Jecui
I just had a look on the website.
I think that is fantastic that they are telling people this, we all know how much it sucks not knowing what they are doing!
This make me feel better, knowing if I don't get November 7th Ground School they are still planning for early 2012 just like the recruiter told me.

I agree - it's good to know for sure what's on the horizon! My references were checked for MAM casual (Qantas) the day or day after the assessment day and I'm waiting to hear back from them... Torn!

Lee!
Hi Lee!
How are you? Just a few questions if you don't mind!
So you got the email after the assessment day that you were through to the next stage.
Then your references were called a number of weeks later.
Then a week later you got a call to say they wanted you and you needed to get a medical done?
Then you were called and told you are on the 7th November Ground School waiting list and if your not on that one you will definitely be on the early 2012 one? Is that right?
When did they say you would know whether your on the 7th November school or not, and why couldnt they just confirm you for the November one when you were speaking with them?
Sorry for all of the questions, just trying to work out the processes!!

Im good, thanks for asking. I hope this help.
11th Aug - Assessment day
26th Aug - Successful email, Checking my refs within the next few weeks
28th Sep - Phone call from Virgin, Saying when next ground school is planned.
11th Oct - Both Refs were checked
On the 28th when Virgin called me, I was told that I was the reserve for the 7th November GS. If I don't make that one then I will go into a GS early 2012. He said that I may need to go for a medical and was getting me ready incase I did. It's looking like I will be in the GS early next year because I haven't heard anything regarding a Medical, but thats ok. At least my refs are checked.
Hope this helps.

Any news on Melbourne?
Hi Guys! Firstly good luck to all the Sydney hopefuls
I didn't think it's appropriate on starting a new thread just for my enquiry, so I'm hoping one of you might know! Currently on the Virgin website all the bases have a closing date except for Melbourne. Does anyone have any idea at all as to when Melbourne may start recruiting? I am getting married in April next year, and am stuck as to when to apply. I would hate to have to cancel my two week honeymoon if that's when Virgin might be doing their ground school. Does anybody out there at all have an idea as to when Melbourne may start recruiting?? Should I still apply now, or wait until after April

When submitting your application they ask you this question: Do you have any commitments over the next 12 months that would restrict your avalibility for example study, sport holidays ect? If selecting yes please provide additional information.
If they were to have a ground school while your unavalible they would usualy put you on a wait list for the next ground school.
hope this helps!!

Yep, all the info should have been sent to you in an email containing a designated username and password for the online test. Good luck!
