TO ALL
 

Has anyone got news?

I had my RD in Perth 3 weeks ago, made it through to the end and was told we'd hear about reference checks in two weeks - nothing as yet!

Waitlist
 

Still haven't done reference checks. It's been over 2 months :(

I have noticed though that in the "my applications" section there is now a waitlist application in there. I know a few others have asked - does anyone know if this is good or bad?? When I click for more info it sounds like I am on a waitlist for an interview, but I have already been through all that. Now I am in a panic!

Hey,

I received the same Waitlist Application the day after I received my "Successful through to reference checks" email. I spoke to a few of my mates that are currently working for Virgin, and they received the same thing. They all got the job, so it cant be a bad thing!

Has anyone on here received a "UNSUCCESSFUL" after they had their references checked?

They wont ask us for another interview, they might ask for more information regarding our references.

I think they just have a generic waitlist email. I would rather be placed on a waitlist then be told NO. Keep positive.

I'm 3 weeks today and counting!

OK, so I just checked the Virgin Careers website! They are now Recruiting for Brisbane Base Domestic, and recently "BrisbaneVA" has been very busy. BrisbaneVA had to wait 6 weeks, then received a phone call saying they would contact their References with in a week and they have a GS planned for late OCT. One week later they received an email regarding Medical!

I have a feeling our References wont hear from Virgin until they have GS planned for our bases! Once our refs are checked it is going to be a very quick process.

So not until they are planning to recruit for our base will we hear anything. But Brisbane is now recruiting, and I'm sure it wont be long until the others are too.

LEE:ok:

Got my golden call today!
9 weeks of waiting and running around after medicals and referees pays off!
Hang in there everyone! and good luck!

BrisbaneVA
 

Congratulations BrisbaneVA! Its so good to hear something positive on this site!

Did you have a waitlist application put into your account by virgin after your interview?

yup sure did, then that turned into a 'on hold' because i got the golden call.

Can someone please explain what the eye test for the medical involves - how perfect does your vision need to be (and if you wear glasses or the optometrist says you need to wear glasses), do you fail? I have just been prescribed glasses for computer work, as the bright computer I use for my day job (8 hours a day) has been making things blurry by the end of the day. In the mornings and on weekends my vision is fine so I feel it's just the computer making things blurry, so I wouldn't need to wear glasses while flying (or at all if I changed jobs - I feel my vision is otherwise completely fine). Do you think this will be a problem?

No it will not be a problem. They just want to determine that you have sufficient vision for the job. Wearing glasses is allowed, being legally blind may be an issue.

Hey Everyone,
I'm new to this site...but was just wondering if anyone knew whether or not Virgin was doing a recruitment/open day anytime soon in Sydney? Thanks :)

Hi DKS278,

Virgin had a recruitment day 6 weeks ago in Sydney, I'm not to sure when or if they will recruit again this year. Keep an eye on their website.

Regarding Open Days, No airline in Australia does open days. We have invitation only recruitment days.

To everyone else! Any news? Today is 4 weeks for me, and still not one of my refs have been checked. Fingers crossed soon!

Good Luck All

Hi does anyone know when recruitment will start to contact people for the brisbane rd being held next wed? I submitted an application just before the cut off just hope it wasn't too late and that there was too many applicants. Is it usual for DJ to contact you a couple of days before the first group interview?

how many hrs (block) typically per month and RDO

thanks

Hi all

Does anyone know, if you are UNSUCESSFUL in your initial application, do they send you an email to advise of this? Or, do they just 'close the application' as such with no correspondence?

Thanks

Application
 

They send letter 'bla bla bla' the normal stuff

Note - (most) new hires will be heading towards the B777 as CFO which frees them up for conversion onto B737/Ejet or even the A330

Pay has increased 28% (about time) and now just below Ejet FO pay, way better conditions too. :D

Good luck

Hi, does anyone know when recruitment will start to contact people for the brisbane base applicants? I submitted an application and it now shows 'on hold' does anyone know exactly what this means...is recruitment on hold in general?

Next Ground School for Sydney confirmed 7th Nov! Last one for this year, next GS is planned for early 2012.

LEE:ok:

Hey Lee, that's great news! Ground school is fun. Congrats.
You don't happen to know if that is the last ground school for cabin crew as well as ground crew do you??

GS Sydney
 

Hi Lee,

Is that Ground School in Sydney for November Domestic or International? and is it Arabic Speakers, or just anyone?

The Ground School in November is for Sydney Domestic.

@ Joannejo - Not sure about Ground Staff, sorry
