At least it's not like a couple people I know...got given GS date. Gave notice. GS cancelled and put on waitlist and still waiting. Lost their old job when they were almost certain to be starting GS.
Sad but happens a lot. Luckily I'm not working ATM so have all the time in the world. Which sucks to an extent.

ad
 

hey guys , got a ad on 21st , ex flyer so pretty confident (but not too muc lol)
wel i not sure how the domestic flights will go as used to long haul international. does any1 know roughly the pay of a cabin crew and if domestic bne crew can go long haul ? or at the least get a random flight there. just got back from dubai was working with a airline there. xxxx

Carguard, you need to learn some basic grammar.

Occygirl - this means you haven't made it past your final interview, sorry :-(

I had my AD in December and start training this week. If anyone wants to know some specific questions please PM me a list and I will be happy to help. Also, if anyone needs any recruitment contact numbers I have about 10! Only if you have a genuine need... the consultants are super busy.

Is it a positive thins Marcus that my refs are being checked? What are my chances of being asked for a medical and possibly getting the job? I have no idea. My old job really wants me to get this so I am not fussed about my refs not bing genuine/good.

Wonder how long it will take to hear back this time. 2 weeks for refs. Hopefully soon!

Hi ... can you please tell me how long do you have to wait before you can reapply, is it 6 or 12 months with Virgin? I get different answers.Thanks

6 if you don't make it to an AD.
12 apparently if you make it to interview then not past that.

whats the pay like?
and how can we get onto long haul flights from domestic?

Sydneysider - you're in, unless your ref checks are no good.

Thanks Marcus. I'm sure they'll be fine, but I Won't get overly excited given the nature of the industry. But hope I find out either way soon :)

carguard - If you join VA domestic and down the track want to progress to long-haul, information regarding those opportunities appear on the intranet via 'current vacancies'. Positions for long haul don't come up very often though and when they do, competition is pretty high.

Hey Sydneysider - do you know if they have contacted any of your referees yet? I made it through to reference check - got the email on Tuesday too - but they haven't contacted any of my referees yet.

Not yet. They said this coming week.

Long haul
 

Anyone else heard anything after the AD on the 31st of Jan for long haul?? Got through to the final interview and felt it went great.. Yet I haven't heard anything yet..

Long Haul International AD
 

Hi Tony.S,

I also haven't heard a word yet although it is clear that some people have. I am hoping that they just haven't got around to letting everyone know their result, it is hard not knowing where you stand.
Like you, I was really happy and confident with the way my interview went so I'm hoping that there is good news on the way to us too.

So was there anyone else here that was due to start on the 26th Feb G/S?

Long haul
 

Hey Occygirl,

Do you know if your references have been called?? Were the others that have been notified from the same AD on the 31st?

Hi Tony.S,

I have not been contacted at all by virgin since the AD. The people who were contacted last Tuesday and were told that they were progressing to reference checks have not had them checked yet as far as I know, so hopefully more emails are yet to be sent and we will know soon how we have done...

Sorry Tony.S, I just realized I hadn't answered your question properly :ugh:
I haven't had my references contacted at all and the people who have been notified were from the AD on the 31st of january. Evidently they haven't contacted everyone who attended though.

I think that might be a good sign that they haven't finished contacting all the successful applicants..
I spoke to a friend today that recently got Virgin domestic and they said some crew were notified a month before GS started, others 2 weeks before and some even a couple of days before.. So I wouldn't count us out yet until after GS starts!!

Yeah I think you are right, I am not loosing hope until I am told otherwise. Good luck Tony.S, I hope we hear something soon!
