Regional,

where did you hear that? Saw her a few months back in that Woolies food magazine, they had a big article about her....

Shame if she's left, but maybe Reggie and DJ/the work didn't suit each other as well as first thought??

Best of luck to her then

Was she at the Melb 8th June VRD? If so has she heard back?

It has been 2 weeks and one day and i have had no word, i was at work today and my manager recieved a call from them to check references and all that, he can have a terrible sense of humour and is not the best communicator...so we will see , i just wish they would send me an email im getting desperate.

Thats kinda a pitty about Reggie, doesnt sound like she has had the best of luck since finishing BB, poor thing.
I guess the job just wasnt for her, its not everyones cup of tea and i imagine that she would get so many people asking her about Big Brother that with her trying to move on with her life she wouldnt be able to get away from the past.
Wish her the best of luck in the future with watever she choses to do.

thanks for the link, QF Regional.

It's a pity but as someone said, it probably got too annoying being recognised for what you once did, not what you are doing NOW.

Hopefully she'll find something she can be happy with, perhaps overseas...

Anyway, back on topic, do we have any besides Miss C who went for interviews???

She's only thinking about applying at the moment, I wanted her to know all the various aspects before getting in too deep in case it's not for her.

Hi Guys,

I am new to this site and new to applying for cc roles! Just a quick question for anyone that may know - do you get paid whilst you do training, and how long does training usually take?

Thanks, ccw

Next Intake

Hi Michael, great to hear that you have applied! Unfortunately the recruitment issue is not so great at the moment at DJ. I was accepted into Cabin Crew Sep last year, and at this stage will not be starting until at least May this year. But do not panic, things change so very very quickly...
There is to be a new aircraft brought on line by mid year, this is ahead of schedule, with two more in the later half of the year, they all need crews so chin up and hang in there mate.

Have heard rumours that the interview day will be late this month/early March with a group to start training April 3rd 06.

Goodluck for all the prospective Virgins out there.

There are four new aircraft arriving at Virgin Blue this year and two of those are replacing aircraf that are leaving. Hence the growth of 2 aircraft for 2006.

Two new CC groups going through in April (as already mentioned by wirgin blew) and May so the opportunities exist.

music to my ears!!
It took endless subtle hints and puppy dog eyes to get blue starred. Would have been ever-so- to find out all that effort had gone to waste.

And now I wait...
