Actual Date!
Hi Everyone!
I have received the medical call and I am booked in for medical this week for VA Long Haul.
I've noticed a few of you have either done your medical for LH or you are doing it this week.
Has anyone received the call to say they are definitely on the 16th April GS? I just want to know generally how long after medical do we get the call!
Thanks everyone!

Yes I am also dying to know if anyone has a definite start after Medicals. Or how many of you are there!
Let us know when you hear. Most have Medicals this week so hopefully we hear soon.

I am supposed to be staring on 19 March. Did my medical on Wednesday last week. Now... still waiting, waiting, waiting.
I am surprised they are sorting out people/ground schools for April when they don't even have next week sorted out yet...

TTF I believe our LH group/GS is being looked after someone different, someone specific.
Domestic is rather busy, and I think there would be more to go through at the moment, so dont know
But as far as I know and from what I have heard someone is looking after us LH people and letting us know ASAP.

Hi guys,
Four years after my first AD with DJ, I've applied again and I have the AD Thursday morning. Back when I did it, I think the role play caught me out - ill be glad to go without that!
Would love any tips or to hear from anyone who will be there this week

Reference Checks
Just thought i'd share an update.
Was at the Syd domestic AD a few weeks ago and completed the online testing last week.
Just found out one of my reference have been called so hoping the other will be today also. Weird thing is, my online status hasn't changed and I havn't been notified they would contact my references.
Maybe they've done this so you can't 'prep' your references.
Fingers crossed for 26th GS

Online questionnaire help!!
Hi guys and girls. Just wondering if any of you could help with a little guidance to the Virgin online application questionnaire????? in the fields where they ask
1. What do you enjoy the most about working with customers?
2. What skills or qualities are important for dealing effectively with customers? Please provide an example of when you have displayed these.
3. Why do you want to be a Cabin Crew team member with Virgin Australia?
4. What value do you believe you could add to the Virgin Australia team?
What would you suggest my approach should be? short answers or a longer more meaningful answer?
I have got a draft of all answers but since I fear being rejected once again I really want to get these answers correct and in the right format.
some of my answers have averaged from 75 words for the first question to 385 words for question 2.....is this way to much????? The wording is spot on but again, I do not want to stuff it up, or worse, bore them.
I am happy to PM any of you with my answers if you wish to critique or suggest how to trim them down.....
I know it sounds desperate but I really just want to get past this stage so that I can go to an AD and show them exactly what I am about and how I feel I would make a great crew member. (hopefully)
Thank you all and any help would be wonderful.
Cheers

Hey Guys,
Went to my AD back in mid December, and recieved a call saying I was successful and that my references would be checked. I then recieved another call in mid January saying that I was successful and that I would be required to take a medical. As I had holidays book in, they said they would put me on a waiting list, and then get back to be by the end of February with details on my medical. I am still yet to hear anything.
Does anybody have an email address or contact number that I can follow this up on? Feel free to PM it to me if you don't wish to post it here.
I would really appreciate your help guys.
Cheers

I had my reference checked last Wednesday and received an email instead of a phone call to get the medical assessment for LH.
I've almost missed the email as it was in the spam mail box.. wheeew..
I'm booked in for med next monday(19th) which was the earliest.. Hope that's not too late.. and as I didn't receive a call I have no idea when the GS is gonna be for me..
so is the GS on 16th April for everyone?? or they were just asking for your preference??

Strange you guys did not get a call re medical.
Did you get given a GS date?
Seems only a few of us are having medicals this week then, as they are booked out and most next week.
Apparently there is GS on 16th and 30th. Dont know how it will work for positions, but i was told 16th.

Hi everyone,
Just wondering if anyone could shed some light on the Brisbane cabin crew intake. My references were called a week ago and im still waiting to hear back. I was told flight school start date is the 2nd of April which is only 3 weeks away and still have not heard anything about a medical. Does this mean I have been unsuccessful? and if so do they send you an email or do you just never hear back? Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Pacificsky_2013 i see your in the same boat, have you heard anything yet?

Thank you for the update! I feel like I'm going crazy, I just really want to know if I have made it to the next stage. I want this opportunity so much but I am kind of loosing out hope with GS less then 3 weeks away and still having heard nothing about medical. My references were good but from what I have read on here even if they are it can go either way and I feel like If I was successful I would have been contacted already 
Im sure you will be fine! very excited for you, I think once you make it to medical your in

bobby07 & onecabin - when did you guys attend your AD? I had mine mid Feb and recieved an email about 2 weeks ago saying my references are going to be called but they haven't yet and I've heard nothing. I know with my previous airline this whole process can take months but I've just come home from Dubai, no job, sorta sitting around waiting and my patience (and money) is running out haha... ohhhh so stressful!
