Hey Eeh / All,
I likewise recieved the email late last year advising that everything was on hold until the new year.
Subsequently was phoned around 10 days ago - bit of an update over the phone and just to confirm my ongoing interest...few questions (guess you could say a "mini re-interview") but certainly nothing anyone should be remotely worried about.
Re rung a few days later and offered a mid February start date.
My suggestion is I wouldn't read to much into any of it. I think VA are purely legitimately just working through the complexities of getting staff through training at a rate required to correlate with services. I suggest the reason I was possibly called earlier than some is just due to a few factors my recruitment process has dragged on for an extended period of time (initial interview day was mid last year!).
Have no doubt you guys will all hear soon.
Cheers

Congratulations!
I only know of three people who have left so far. All of them have left on their own accord due to circumstances changing.
Having said that, you need to remember that you are always being watched!
Anyone with a negative attitude, will be spoken to, and if it is a serious problem, the matter will be escalated.
Training is great fun, and valuable chance to make lifelong friends!
Two Miscellaneous (Induction, Company, Rosters etc)

Work hard. Study hard. Have fun.

Thanks all for the information.I am ok with the wait, I dont think I need call at this stage I am in no hurry.
It will be great to see the airline up and running first as well. I will love to join the crew but all good things happen to those who wait.
I dont think calling is right. I know they have all my details if I dont hear in a couple of weeks say 4-6 then I may consider calling.THANKS TO ALL OF U WITH GREAT COMMUNICATION AND FEEDBACK I APPRECIATE IT
good luck to all those with start dates.

My interview was back on Oct 8th.
Haven't been called up for a medical yet...anybody else at the same stage..?

Well...received the phone call and the email last week - "thanks, but no thanks."
When I started hearing news that Virgin was looking at using existing staff to crew V, I thought "this does not sound good."
So, after about 6 month since the interview, I guess I may look at the old qcca again.
The frustrating part of this recruitment business is having to start right back at square one again, even though you reached the medical stage this time...!

Update
Hi All
At the moment V need about 100 odd crew for training in June but at the moment they are only hiring from Virgin Blue internally due to the overstaff they face there. I work for VB atm and have my interview with V tomorrow.
