Slightly off topic but could someone please clarify the following ...Are Auckland based cabin crew employed by Pacific Blue, or now Virgin Australia? or were they always employed under the Virgin group umbrella?

Back on topic...
Anyone applied for the recent Auckland base intake? (November recruitment days)?


Cheers,
NZ2

New Zealand based crew are with Pacific Blue whilst Australian based crew are with Virgin Australia for short-haul and V Australia for long-haul.

Interestingly the website now shows Recruiting for Cabin Crew in 4 bases (SYD, BNE, MEL, PER) and applications open for next 14 days.

Virgin Australia Recruitment: Attention

Hi there,

Can anyone help me working out what the status of my Virgin application is. Before i log in if you look at opportunities it does not list melbourne, however when i sign in on bfound and click on the 'jobs' tab and then 'my applications' it lists Domestic Cabin Crew Melbourne under Applications Closed (1) stating it closed on the 28/10/2011 but now theres a new listing for Domestic Cabin Crew Melbourne under Recruiting Now (1) stating the applied date as 28/10/2011 then stating it was applied by Carla Cations.

I am very confused. Could this mean they have moved my application to recruitment on the 28/10/2011. Previous to the listing applicatiosn closed it said 'Accepting interest'.

Anyone see simliar notes on their application :confused:

Thanks in advance for the help.

Sydney International
 

Does anyone have any updates on this? A lot (all?) of the international SYD applicants were called and offered domestic with the suggestion that SYD international ground school might not happen for another 12 months - any thoughts on this? In my opinion with all of the Qantas problems I think they'll be needing us sooner rather than later!

Hi Baracci,

My application status is exactly the same as yours!

I was sent an email yesterday by Virgin Recruitment asking me to complete the online assessment, did you get that too?

To Everyone.
 

Does anyone know how long the International Ground School goes for? Is it 5 weeks or 6 weeks?

Maybe someone remembers hearing the time frame at their Assessment Day??

I am only knew to this forum. Can someone explain to me how does one apply for VAustralia international? the website does not indicate to regisiter your interest for international only domestic.I am aware that there recruiting for domestic at the moment but I am not in a position to apply just yet. Can you please help.Many thanks.

how do you apply for international.......
 

dreamtoflyaway,how and when did you apply for international? Do you have to apply for domestic first and then allocated to international? their website does not give you the option for interest to register for international so I am keen to know how the whole process works. Appreciate anyone's help on this.

Hey alyssa,

I applied for V Australia in June this year but never heard back regarding my application. So to answer your question, there was a separate job listing for V Australia cabin crew. Intake for international cabin crew is quite small however because there are no new aircraft coming on board as yet. So I applied for a domestic cabin crew position in late August and got the job this week.

If you're really keen on being international cabin crew, my advice would be to apply for the current domestic openings now and try for an internal transfer further down the track. You'll have your foot in the door with the company, so your chances of getting it will be much higher that way.

Same problem!
 

Hi Baracci.
I have the same same thing on mine. I did an on line test on Tuesday and they where supposed to get back to me yesterday but I haven't heard anything. My bfound page is still the same. I'm so confused I'm not sure if I'll have an interview next week now. I'm ex Emirates crew so have experience and I've worked for a other airline before that. Very stressed. I will be so upset if I don't get VA as I don't want to work for any other airline here. :(

Extended closing date!
 

Hi guys,

Think I've worked out why there's a bit of a delay... a few days ago the closing date for Melbourne was November 7, and as of today it's November 14. I think because of the really high volume of applicants they've allowed themselves that extra week. Yet still on the position description page of what cabin crew do etc it still says that Melbourne's assessment days are on the 9th & 10th of November. But yet applications are now closing on the 14th :ugh: This really sucks for me personally as I miraculously just happen to have those two days off work!! :hmm: Oh well. Fingers crossed still. Good luck! :)

Ground school
 

Congratulations to all those who have recently been successful with Virgin Australia. I have had a 5 month application and finally had my medical and I am now waiting to be told when ground school commences. Is there anyone out there who is in the same boat as me for the Melbourne intake? Also wondering wether anyone could offer advice regrading ground school i have had many tell me that it is really difficult and stressful?

Thanks

I also noticed that i can tell you that they will be hiring heaps more in the upcoming assessment days because i was told that ground school will be Nov 21 and Dec 1st hope that helps

Is anybody going to the Melbourne Assessment day on Wednesday the 9th?

Brisbane
 

Does anybody knows anything about GS for Brisbane? :confused:

GS
 

If ground school begins on the 01 Dec would it go over xmas and nye ? I've heard GS is 6 weeks but ive also heard its only 3 weeks :confused:

I'm pretty sure Ground school goes for 5 weeks thats what i was told on my assessment day so i guess it would be over xmas and NYE :ouch: I guess we just need to do it!

Tashopeful - Good luck with your assessment day if you get through i will see you at Ground school

First aid and RSA
 

Can anyone recommend where to get your senior first aid and RSA certificates from in Melbourne?

Ground school Melbourne
 

I'm pretty sure GRound school goes for five weeks thats what i was told by Virgin so for the Dec 1st intake that would mean going into Christmas and new years.

Virgin are hiring a lot more Cabin Crew at the moment for every base.

Make sure your applications are in with good availability to commence sooner rather than later.

Also depending on the training if you are dual trained (737 and E-Jet) for your initial training this can be 8 weeks of ground school. All Perth crew are dual trained but for other bases depends on demand.
