Hey
hey everyone... Ive recently applied for Virgin Australia BNE base just under a month ago and have not heard anything yet and I am using the new system.
Should I withdraw and apply for another base or will I hear something soon? I am currently with an airline based in ADL and looking to at living elsewhere
Cheers

I only got introduced to this website today, & I've been reading through the previous pages in regards to the applications for the Virgin intake last month, & I'm unsure of what to do. I applied & haven't received an accept or decline, but I did receive that email in regards to the new website. I'm sorry if anyone has to repeat themselves, I'm just really stressed about it & don't know who to ask. Does resubmitting to the new website still keep us eligible for the position we applied for last month, or how does it work? I saw a couple people who resubmitted got accepted? Ahh worst timing for the new website huh

I wouldnt stress - it's pretty bad if Virgin dismiss all those who applied on the old system, for peace of mind just re-apply on the new system - then you have all your bases covered I guess it's a matter of waiting for contact 
Good luck

I know it's hard, we are all in the same boat...I really think it could go either way to be honest. I applied on the new site and withdrew my old one... then the VERY next day I got a response saying that they're aware it has been some time since I applied and that they're reviewing mine this week. So I really don't know whether it was from the old or the new, or the fact that I changed it... Point being, our names are in there somewhere and I am SURE someone's gota let us know soon either way. Whoever said it's the wrong time for a new website was totally right! haha

new website
hi everyone!
i have a few questions to see if anyone else is in the same boat in regards to the new website. I recently withdrew my application on the old site for the SYD base, when i found out that the ad was in MEL next week i applied on the new site. Now every time i log in it says under the application progress icon "application acklowedgement". does anyone know what this means? has anyone got anything different? im so confused as to what to expect. i hope i havent killed my chances as i withdrew my first application.
thanks in advance.

ok guys,
i just logged onto the old website where i withdrew my application earlier this week... and a whole new application has been submitted! not by me but by some random! i have a boys name, this name is obviously female. im so confused! its a completely different application, still for the SYD base but one that opened and closed on the 13th of december (the last application i sent it closed on the 16th of november), it was exactly the same as the application i sent in, it had my cv attached and answers done for me, its like someone filled out the application for me...
wtf! please someone give me answers!

Hi Guys,
I wouldnt stress, Its a long wait i attended the AD back in July for Syndey and am still waiting thats 6 months! so be prepared to wait
I had my references check probs 2 months after the day. Then did my medical in November. They asked me to attend a assesment day in november but it wasnt enough notice.
So im still on the waiting list even after finishing everything.....
So i wouddnt stress they will contact you eventually
Goodluck, im going to melb next wed for a half hour interview as i want to change bases from Syd to Melb, So after that should get on a ground school finally..

Stay positive people & I don't think anybody should stress - Virgin are very professional & if you have an application and it was acknowledged I wouldn't worry if it was on the old system or new - either way they have your application. Maybe the reason people are getting contact via the new one is they have a back log of applications on the old system that will be reviewed and put into the new one.
Alot of Patience is required (I too am waiting) got to tell you it's a waiting game from here on - as the process is sometimes long & lots of hoops to jump thru.
I plan on enjoying my freedom & the festive silly season because you'll be in for a ride if and when you get the job - ground school and emergency procedures are pretty intense with lots of study required then your in flight training is just as intense!!
Good luck everybody and seriously don't stress it will happen in time

Patience
Marcus is right - be patient!! Seriously! And read back on previous posts.
Despite the DOZENS of other posts reassuring you, every day there are more & more questions about this.
The recruitment process is fast for the very lucky ones that apply at the right time, but for others (me) it can take forever. I waited 6 months for an assessment day, about 4 months for ref checks and am still waiting for a ground school date. Also, don't expect to be updated regularly, especially as they are so so busy at the moment.
Dicko - this also happened to me & is nothing to worry about. The new application that has been submitted was done internally and the name next to it will be the name of a recruiter. Hope that helps!
Good luck everyone.

low dose roaccutane for medical?
Hi all,
Well this is my first post on this board.
I am VERY excited to be going in for a pre-employment medical tomorrow!!! It has been such a long process but hopefully worth it.
I was worried about one little thing.
Months ago, I had previous mild acne/spots. I've been on a low dose of roaccutane for about 4/5 months and my skin is now next to perfect.
I'm wondering however, would this count against me if this was noted on my medical? I am still scheduled to take the tablet for another 2 months. Should it be declared?
I would love to hear if anyone was in this situation or similar or if you think I should declare it or not. I have come so far and would hate to loose out on something like this. As I mentioned, I am clear skinned now, and totally healthy otherwise.
Thank you!

Sydney Ground School!
Hey Guys,
Had a phone call from recruitment today! They have ground schools scheduled for Sydney on the 3rd and 30th of January. Good luck to all those that applied.
I, unfortunately, am still on a waitlist for a GS after February 15th due to my holiday!
Stay patient and positive guys!
