Uniforms
Mattandy, the uniform is pretty much the same as VB - you know the white shirt and beige pants/skirts. The pipping on the shirt is going to be aqua and the jumper, instead of the red is going to be mulberry. I'm thinking the mulberry colour is like Premium Economy seats. Not sure if anyone has seen these photos of the Business Class and Premium Economy Products?

The Cabin leaders and Flight managers have different shirts -black I think with red pipping. Saw one today but not sure who will be wearing that.
I have also been told that the mood lighting will be aqua. Should be interesting!

I already have a US crew visa. When I got mine, the whole process took several hours, but my interview was only 5 minutes. The rest of the time was waiting around anf filling out forms, and going from one counter to another.

I had a US interview for a visa about 2 years ago and it took me around 6 hours! They were really busy and I had to wait and wait and wait! Was crazy! Try and book for first thing in the morning (I think it is 8.30) and you should be done in 2-3 hours.....
Good luck!

V Blue vs V Aus
Hi IwannaflyLA....,for your friend, it would almost certainly be too late to 'swap' from VB to VA but if they are brave enough to ask.....?
Pesky, friend of mine is a pilot at V Australia ( or will be..., still under training)...., says there is a SYD course for cabin crew starting on the 15th, another Brisbane one at about the same time then about 7 more in Sydney. There are about 2 courses a month starting in Sydney from middle of this month.
A friend on the course starting today says it went great...,the CEO was there to talk to them and says there are 270 positions for C/C to fill by the end of the year. There are 7 planes ordered and another 6 more on option...QF would like to buy B777 as well but the waiting list is long...,VA got the jump on them. The first plane has just been built and rolloed out of the hangar and is getting all the seats and galleys fitted. All the course people very nice and very excited to be making Australian aviation history, but there will be alot of hard work to do first!!
Anyone else starting in Sydney on the 15th?

US Visa's
Hey guys,
Just a question for you guys who are applying for your US visa's. Just out of curiousity, is the airline paying the application fee for the visa or do you have to pay it yourselves??
