medicals
answers to you questions;
1. am i an internal virgin applicant?
no, i am an external applicant, but i fly for a domestic airline now, not sure if that has anything to do with it but!
maybe they are starting with people who have flown before??? maybe this will speed up the training process?? who knows!
2. did they ring or email?
Both! first a guy from virgin rang explaining that i had been successful to the next round which is the medicals, then about an hour later i recieved the email explaining everything!
i think you will all start to hear soon, especially if they need them done by the end of month!
good luck all!

V Australia
Back in December 2007 the original V Australia plan was to:
1. Start the recruitment process in February with final interviews taking place in May. They must be finding it hard to find good people with over 7 extra VRD's in July and V are STILL advertising for more cabin crew. I think this is good news for those who have already had a VRD and those who are going to one in August/September.
2. Hire 260 cabin crew and approx 35% will be internal transfers from VB. So this means 91 positions will be internal and 169 will be externals. This is also good news for everyone.
Good luck to everyone waiting. Won't be long now!

For those coming from VB, rumour (yes not confirmed) but from a very reliable source in VB Management says Raj is heading to V as CC Manager.
Interesting times.............

that must be very frustrating for your friend to wait 2 months.... knowing that other people are going to the recruitment days and finding out within 1 week they did not get in.... and waiting 2 months and then finding out? Ah I would be annoyed about that! What can you do though?
As regards to the accommodation link..... there is good priced accommodation around.... I have a share house as well as some of my friends who mange houses. Rent is around $150-$200 a week sharing with 2-3 others .... if you get in I can provide some pointers on where to look and if I have anyone looking at that time.

applied
guys
wow what a great forum - thanks to everyone for their contributions - lots of information there for me.
I applied to V for a cc role - in the last round, and got an offer to attend VRD day in Syd on july 23. I could not make that date so did not reply (as the email suggested and would still get an invite to the next one).
Monday was the cut off day for RSVP - on the Friday afternoon I got a suprise phone call from recruitement to see if I was was still interested.
Of course - says I - a little confused and I had followed the email to the letter, anyone all is still good - the next VRD day is sometime in August and I will get an invite for that.
Will keep you all posted and good luck to everyone.
The destinations look great

Hi Len,
good to see somebody else on this forum who is closer to my age.
I believe the RD in Aug is 16th. Same day as one in Melb which I hope to get an invite to.
Good luck (and to everyone) and keep in touch.

Bring on the more mature crew!
I'm sick of working with all 18-20 year olds who can't even legally drink when we go for a night out in LAX! I'm only 28, and often find that I am on of the oldest on a crew of 14!
No offence to the 19 year olds!
