Hi,
So I'm just wondering what the salary for VARA is in Perth compared to working for VA doing domestic and short-haul international flights. I applied just last week and I know it's super competitive (I've applied a few times over the years but moved into the Education industry during COVID and now am trying again to get into Aviation), especially when it's quite a small fleet in Perth and not as many crew required for an F100 compared to an A330. Plus, chances for overnights and additional allowances when flying regional seem to be very rare when you're mostly flying up North to mine sites, back down, fly to other destinations and then back to Perth for the night (or other flights/combinations). Is that right or am I wrong in how this works?
Last year I applied for Network Aviation (QF) and got through to the AD but was in the UK so couldn't attend. I always wonder how that could have gone... Sorry, that had nothing to do with this subject or airline (I need that emoji with sweat on the side of its head haha - sadly it's unavailable on PPRUNE.).
Thanks everyone

From what I've heard, you start with group interviews and activities before doing a one-on-one interview. There is also information on the company, what the salary would be, and an idea of what it would be like to work as cabin crew with VA. I have not been to one, this is just what I've heard. Good luck

Video Interview
Hi,
I've been asked to complete the Video Interview for VARA PER. I have researched this, but am wondering if there are some people who have done it recently and be able to provide some pointers/the type of questions that were asked.
Thanks so much

A tip for others: Make sure your VPN is off because I had connection issues and then thought that my VPN could be causing the issues, and I was right. I was so worried it would say I've done the interview when I hadn't due to the issues.

Guest Services BNE
Hi is anyone waiting for a ground school date for Guest Services Brisbane?. I was called up back in July but had to defer as the timing didn’t work. I had my group interview back in January this year. Would be keen to connect to others waiting for a start date.
Thanks
Thanks
