For domestic onecabin? Which base? When was you AD.
|
actually got 2 email them to confrim medical date, not ground school.
wel anyways its not definite yet but i would be pretty confident . hey ----->> TTF and Sydney yeah hope to use travel and see u peeps flying around sometime |
So they've asked you for a medical in a months time? Cray. Good news for you though!
Which base are you going for? Good luck. |
sorry 4 the unclarity.
nah they said so medical now (just let them know the date as medicals r sent to Virgin), GS start in one month. BNE base. |
Brisbane Base AD
Anyone know of any upcoming? I applied on Feb 15 and application just says 'application acknowledged'. Haven't received any emails or phone calls as yet.
|
onecabin
congrats onecabin !
can I ask... did u tell Virgin that you had to give notice to your employer of a month or anything? just trying to see as I told them i didnt have to give any notice if they prioritze contacting refs like that? thanks |
Yes they do that to attach to your applicatin / file. Simply to identify you and put name to face.
Same as other airlines ask for a hard copy photo. Virgin does it themselves. In regards to notice periods, I dont have to give any notice, but I know people who got through so far and do. So I wouldn't say they'd go by that necessarily, as most people working would have to I guess. |
yeah thats true with pics they did it 4 every1.
notice period i said one week. but agree with sydneysid... they would have to tel people who put 2 weeks down even earlier. xxx hope u all have a good weekend |
Hi guys, in regards to notice periods I told them I required two weeks but in the end ended up not getting an actual offer till 6 days before the GS start date.
Which you can't really hand your notice in till you've got. |
VA International
Has anyone heard of any interview dates when the opened applications in Jan?
/ ground school dates etc......:ugh: |
Interviews all done tyman. Done on 31jan.
GS march or April. No dates yet. We are all waiting. We have all Done refs checks etc. Group size to be based on needs of the business approx 10-20. Only long haul I know of for now. Syd only. |
Just to claify:
Staff travel: Each year its $1000 that cabin crew get given to use on the VA network I heard from an inside source that they are putting training on the back burner for a few months-theyve asked their trainers to take their leave now. Also, as the aviation industry is always changing, they like to recruit a talent pool, then when they need people they take them from that, Theres also rumours of long haul expansion-adding new routes, more wide body aircraft and more recruitment for int cabin crew |
Long Haul
Tyman
More interviews coming up for Long Haul (Arabic Speakers), assessment days mid march... GC1 |
Training on the back burner for who? Long haul?
Argh. So frustrating. Why speed up recruitment when they ALREADY HAVE MANY in a talent pool. Why bother seriously?? Told GS was to be march for our LH group. Found out from a few friends/inside sources saying its pushed back. Surely a GS is going to happen soon if they're doing all this and processing our applications quickly in the last couple weeks. I've heard from many people in VA that LH training is going ahead. Unless something changed since yesterday. I know that things always change and they cancel. But why bother recruiting and recruiting for an endless talent pool and lie to us. We were told they need LH and this was not for a talent pool. Don't like being lied to by 4 recruiters. but guess they wouldn't know either. I honestly don't know why they tell us training is going ahead very soon and some say it's not some say it is. Looks like a case of he said she said and on the end nothing. Domestic is all moving quick! And going ahead. Who knows. Will find out eventually. And If im still waiting in a years time. People from a talent pool for LH from last year are having refs andmedicals done now. So surely something is in the works? I've heard from many there is. WqAnd now recruiting in march AGAIN for Arabic speakers when they did that last June/july. So frustrating. Clarity would Be nice virgin :ugh: |
$1000 for staff travel... even better.
I don't know where you are getting your info from but I know for a fact there is one GS this month and one in April for Melbourne base... And there are a couple in other bases too for March and April. All for domestic though... not international. Ever since CASA made Virgin change from operating a 1:50 ratio down to a 1:36 ratio basically means that the need 1 extra crew member on every boeing flight. Thats why they are mass recruiting in all bases. I really dont think they are slowing down on training... Not until that quota is reached. TTF |
That's what I've heard TTF also. That there is training.
I just want to know for intl LH what's happening. As them seem to be recruiting specifically for LH too. And told us at the AD it was not for talent pool. But the did say they only needed people depending on the needs of the business. 10-23positons. So big variable. See what happens. |
Anyone let me know if they find out this week if there in the 26th March G/S for Sydney domestic?? PM me!
|
Syd16r. I wonder if they will offer any of us LH people domestic positions like the last LH group.
If so some may be in the 26th GS with you if they offer it and take it! This happened last year. AND it also looks more and more like what is happening last year too. :{ They recruited for LH international, and then took some arabic speakers. Put the rest in a talent pool, or offered Dom. Now they are advertising/recruiting for arabic speakers again with a mid march AD, theyll probably be taken with first preference over all the people waiting currently and just had refs done from our LH AD in January, which sucks. Wish I spoke Arabic now. I really dont want to be fobbed off like the last lot and made to wait 8+ months and some of who are still waiting to hear something, or put in the talent pool. :ugh: :( :{ I guess it is what it is. Time to find a filler-in job till I hear something. Im sure something has to be happening. It would be strange if not. Surely they dont need another 20-30 people in the talent pool for LH, but guess no one knows how they do things. |
